This is the third episode. During the first, 15 years ago, I didn’t really know what was going on and the hospital convinced me to sign her up for 3 days. That was not a good experience. About the only positive thing is that at least she started meds. Promised I wouldn’t do that again unless it was life/death
Her 2nd one was 8 years ago. She got past it and went on some low dose baseline and has been good. Until tonight. Couldn’t find walk in psychiatric help that doesn’t involve them taking her and maybe letting her go after 3 days. Finally found an urgent care that a least agreed to prescribe lorazepam so she might get some sleep. Found an online doc that she can talk to tomorrow. Hopefully they can get her back on the antipsychotics that seemed to help last time, and then we can get on someone’s waiting list local. Still would take any recs if someone knows someone.
eta - she finally just feel asleep. She’s otherwise been up around 60 hours. Thought I was going to need an elephant tranquilizer. Kids are quite a bit older than last time, which is good and bad. They don’t even remember last time (good, was hoping they’d never see this), but it was hell taking care of her, a 3 year old, and a 6 month old. This time they can at least take care of themselves pretty well.
