Looks like I'm going into the psych hospital [View all]

I can't get a handle on my thoughts, can't organize them or explain to anyone what I'm feeling or why I can't participate in life like an average person.

I was hospitalized a couple of years ago, primarily to try to work out the trauma of having to take almost all of my pet cats to the humane society (we had many and were moving cross-country). I don't recall any work I did toward getting over that trauma - and it's not exorcized. So I guess I will be working on that again.

Mostly I need a safe place to let my feelings out. It's not safe here at home because they are too extreme. My sadness is impossible for anyone to understand - including myself. My depression is such that I can't understand it. I don't know how to deal with it.

All I have to do is talk to my psychiatrist and get her take. I know I could go check myself in, but I don't have the nerve for that.
