your illnesses. Just wanted to say a quick "you're not alone" and show my appreciation for your raw honesty.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. I'm sorry that you're struggling so much right now, but I'm glad my post resonated with you. Thankfully I am out of the hospital but it was a much longer stay than I initially thought it would be (3 weeks + 1 day but who was counting). I was relieved to be out but also scared. I hope that if you need to, you also say yes. It IS a scary thing to realize that you are your own worst enemy.
Well done for saying "yes". You clearly needed to say yes and I'm glad you were able to get help. Although I'm surprised about no group therapy etc. The hospital my Dr put me in had art therapy and group therapy etc. I hope you were able to make good use of the time either way.
I just read that you're out! How are you feeling now? Any better? You are so brave for having taken that step. I'm going down a road, not as bad as yours, but sadly I'm resisting any treatment because of how stupid the health care system is. I don't want to sit in a psych unit and watch other people fighting their own wars. When I was in nursing school I did a clinical rotation on a psych ward and it was pretty difficult seeing the internal battles people were waging. Anyway, I hope you get that thought out of your head. No more sixth floor business please!…I know, I know, easier said than done.
