TW - Hospitalization and Suicide Ideation

Why is it that I always leave hospitals with additional damage. The time before last, it added to my cPTSD. This last time I exited with what feels like a cold or the flu (I tested for Covid-19 and it's not that).

We need a reform in hospitals and better education to the layperson on how they work. The biggest issue is that this field is overworked. We need more nurses and doctors, but after the pandemic, no one wants to go into the field unless they're a true hardcore hero. I don't think there's many heroes left these days.

This isn't meant to bash the hospitals that involuntarily held me despite not being suicidal. It's meant to point out a very big problem in our healthcare system in the USA, where I live.

There's a book called “Noise” (yellow with a target image on the front) that points out these kinds of problems in a statistical way. There were many different authors that put it together from across many fields including the health field. We know there's a problem, but how do we fix it?

I have a few ideas I'd love to share. My website and blog will be dropping soon.

Trapped?

Currently sitting here at the moment, feeling low and drained. It happens, it's part of who I am and I am sure many others too. I feel like I'm battling every single thought and feeling like I shouldn't be alone right now. Trying to drown out the thoughts with music but because the music I listen to is based on how I feel, it feels like I am spiralling out of control and I know at this point these are signs that I need help but then it also dawns on me that I can't and that I am more worried that if I do, that's another thing where I work will use against me to throw me aside. I feel that it's not right that I am sitting here struggling, every thought questioning "why", "what's the point", "this life isn't for somebody like me" and I am more concerned about my job. I know there are others out there that go through this or have done, struggling to find an excuse to continue on and essentially survive.

Has anyone else been in this situation?

What have / would you do in these situations?

The bracelet

So, I've been doing quite poorly these past few months- moreso than usual. I have chronic #suicidal thoughts, and I was WAYYY deep into the #Depression , and thought about going to a hospital because the #ideation was that bad. I sat up and spoke to the universe (or praying or whatever you want to call it) and said " I am tired of asking for signs, and I keep getting these B.S. "signs" that can be interpreted several ways. I need a sign as to whether or not to continue with this life- a clear, concise sign that cannot be misinterpreted!"
That day I went to the doctor. I complimented the receptionist on her bracelet, and she said "Here, read what it says!"
On the inside of the bracelet these words were engraved: "KEEP FUCKING GOING".
