My boyfriend is in the psych ward

Well, for those of you that were wondering what happened since that episode on the highway this summer, here's sort of an update. I decided to attempt to work things out because I still have very strong feelings for him. I know what you all are talking about when you say it's time to go, and believe me, I thought about that, but I just couldnt. Things have been going very well for me with work and all that, but Derek has been getting more and more depressed. He is one of those that turns things inward, so it's hard to read what he's thinking sometimes. SO anyway, on Wednesday after work I get home to find a message from him that he left work to go see a doctor at the hoispital and proceeded to tell them that he's taken a bunch of pills and that he's very depressed. So nedless to say, he's in the stress unit at the hospital. He told them about his Meth use and theyre doing a drug eval on him to determine whether he can do out or inpatient treatment/therapy. Perhaps I've asked for this grief by not leaving when I could, but I'm not one of those that believes in cut and run if you know what I mean. SO he's gonna be in there for at least a week, then who knows. I think it's ironic that as things look up for me, they take a turn for the worse for him. Guess you never know do you.....

This could be good, though. He needs help. Other than that, I'm sorry you are going through a hard time with him. Don't people always have horrible depressive crashes in between meth usage?
Anyway, I hope this really helps him.

Geez...I'm sorry to hear about that. Has he kept on with the Meth since the highway incident...or has it been mostly depression?

Well I hope that you two can work things out - but just remember to take care of yourself! I know what you mean about not wanting to just cut and run - I hope he appreciates you.

amber's right, david ... it's hard for both of you now, but it'll probably do him good in the long run. good luck to both of you.

I'm pretty sure he hasnt done anything since that incident. But I've heard,and I talked to my therapist and he told me that once you try to get off Meth, you can have mood episodes that shall we say are unpleseant. That's happened. Not that I'm immune to that either mind u.

hope everything will work out in the positive light for Derek & yourself.

You know, I was hesitant to start this thread because I didnt want to be seen as someone that whines all the time and thinks wo is me and my life. I am very appreciative for any and all support. Thank you.

If you are that commited to Derek, then things will work out as long as he is just as commited to your relationship and getting healthy.

Good luck

I think alot of it has do do with the fact that I'm big on loyalty, to a fault sometimes.

David, you don't whine all the time at all. The stuff you share is pretty major - and what's the Ledge community for if you can't come here to talk about this stuff....

Bless your heart, thank you.

I am a very emotional person, I'm not one that hides my feelings most of the time. I guess that's why I love Fleetwood Mac so much, cause of their incredible depth and passion.

Same here - and I would bet the majority of Fleetwood Mac fans are the same...
