The hospital can seem like a terrible punishment, but you will get the care you need during your time of crisis. Going to see your family is probably not the best option for you, especially if you are working through your past in therapy. There are some days I can just see my mother, and I will fly off the handle.

Maybe you could ask you dr. if they can get you samples of your medication. I know when I'm going through tough times, my psych will give me enough samples for a month or two.
