I wanted to let you know that I am now seeking hospital-level treatment as a voluntary patient.

My earlier thread helped me realise that I'm currently living with a severe anger problem that is getting worse by the day.

I'm quite tired now so I've pretty much handed myself into the doctor, short of actually being sectioned. I still have my freedom.

No need to offer any advice or opinion here. I'm asking for the help I should have gotten years ago.

I had definitiely been in a state of denial. I've calmed down a lot for now. Right now I'm dealing with sadness, not anger. Just as horrible but at least I think a little more clearly when sad instead of angry.

For the first time I have no intention of fighting with the doctor. I'm just gonna' let him do what needs doing, because I'm exhausted.

Excellent. I am sure you will experience ups and downs. I would expect both progress...... and atrophy... as you move forward.

The point is..... keep at it bud.

Mate, write a big long list right now, about all the reasons you felt you needed to make this step right now.

In six months or a years time when you are a lot better, you may not recall what drove you to get help as this moment, it's a potential slippery road to falling off the wagon.

I've seen it a few times.

Props to you for that, Un1k0rn. You should be proud of yourself for taking that step, and I hope you are. :)

I have a number of friends and family members who deal with similar health issues, and every time someone else is able to break through the stigma and seek out the treatment they need it makes me happy, because those actions make it that much easier for the next person to do the same.

/here's to you, and the strength you have that got you here!

Please can we not have this sort of comment regarding mental health? I realise you may "mean" well, but take it from someone with almost 4 decades of experience that those sort of comments do more harm than good. It's hard enough to come to terms that you have a mental health problem without people thinking all you have to do is pull a finger out etc.

I certainly did mean well, it was a reference to my post in the other thread. It was to say I'm glad he's taken action and gone to see his Doctor.

Certainly no offence was meant, my daughter and I both suffer from mental health issues and for me I'm still to pull my finger out.

All the best for everyone affected.

I am very fortunate for not having issues, nor my family - thankfully we live a normal life and we are expecting the 3rd child. But my brother does have issues, and I know it is fiend that is very-very difficult to take on.
