When your 'on that edge', hospitalization can be the only solution. I've been in a couple of times. Fully 'in-patient' once and in the 'day-hospital' twice. The day-hospital was nice because I went to therapy from 9-5, then went home for the evening. I thought it helped me as much as the in-patient, and got the support of my family in the evening...Could be a consideration...............yutzman...
