Life with Mental Illness

Living with mental Illness isn't easy there are so many ups and downs. yesterday I was in Emergency with thoughts about hurting myself, because I was frustrated that things were not turning out the way that I had planned. Sometimes that happens my thoughts get me to panick. One fear I seem to have is someone will break into the house and shoot me. Yes I do know that the likelyhood of that happening is minor, but my mind seems to create these thoughts and I can't get them to go away. Even with prayer and relaxation, I am still panicked. The nurse at the hospital was really good and we talked alot about my fears, and why i was brought into emergency. The doctor didn't keep me in emergency because I was doing well enough to go home. Today my thoughts have been better, and I don't want hurt myself today.
