Hey

I can understand where you're coming from. I was in the hospital for a week, and when I was sent back home was forced to go back not even two days later. The problem for me was that I became so used to the environment at the hospital, so used to having people I could relate to around me and being able to talk about how I felt every day and honestly feel understood. So when I came back into the real world it was overwhelming and too much for me, hence why I had to return to the hospital.

The psychiatrist I saw while at the hospital the second time suggested I go to some sort of day hospital. It was a place where you went for about four hours in the day, and then returned home. For me it was at the hospital I had stayed in, but I was outpatient instead of inpatient. He said that it would help me get used to the swing of things again and be able to learn to function again in normal life.

In the end it helped me a lot. It was easier to ease myself back into life than it was to go from that supportive environment back to the environment that made me suicidal in the first place. So maybe you could look into something like this, a day treatment facility that you can go to until you feel more comfortable on your own.

You should also should attend therapist appointments regularly because if you were to go to a day treatment you would be in the same scenario once you left if you didn't have a therapist to turn to. So my recommendation is to look into the day treatment, and if you decide to go forth with it then make sure you have a therapist to turn to afterwards. It's what has helped me most.

I hope that everything works out for you. Good luck.
