    You told us that the doctor mentioned sectioning, but you haven't mentioned what you think about it. Are you thinking about it or do you shut down when you try to consider it?

    I cant unless they take that out of my hands. 
    I have  kids and my mums birthday tomorrow.  My baby is 2 next week. 
    If i get suicidal thought s i will go to hospital.
    Atm im absolutely confused. Lost. And the world keeps turning. 
    I hate  being alone. Im so soft .  
    I want to learn acceptance , i haven't  yet in my life. Its the key im sure. 
    I can say i was better drinking  and smoking than this.

    Hang in there, Rob.
    There are some problems in life that have no good answers.  Knowing that you are working on acceptance is key, I think.
    We care about you.

    One good thing about it would be that your doctor is ready to help you with the process, so you wouldn't have to do it alone and it would be your choice, so you would feel as if you have a measure of control over the situation. 
    That's one positive aspect.

    Another possible positive aspect would be that you would meet others who feel lost and confused, so you wouldn't feel alone in that. That alone can make it feel worth it. It did for my aunt anyway. 

    I hope you will do some research and think about it, because it may end up being what you've needed all along.

    I did sleep a good  amount but sober an hour then wake with heart pumping. Then awake 3 hours. Then sleep another hour or so. 
    I normally was getting  a good 8 hrs. 
    Atm not good

    so alcohol use is acting as a sedative then? the 8 hours was in the timeframe of your consumption? but in detoxing your sleep is erratic. which is normal for that process.

    did you feel rested before? when you were using?

    I think alcohol was ok in small amounts. If i had  too much sleep was less. But yeah i find i get restless legs and angry when sober sleeping

    so consider then alcohol is or does mask some important things you experience that just may help your Doctors see you through this.

    Please don't be.
    Have you tried Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

    No problem. It's more about learning to live with your symptoms than fighting them which creates more anxiety.

    very important to note, acceptance does NOT equal approval or condoning....

    simply means acknowledging agreeing that what is, is.....

    you can become neutral about it. at least partially so.

    Its a great point because i have spent  years unable to accept. And these  symptoms definitely  not
