My T recommended resigning from my high stress fulltime job and seeking either inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment. She told me to go home (not to work) and think about it and call her back. I did call my job about going on a medical leave of absence, which I'm not eligible of course. I may be able to get short term disability. I decided to do the intensive outpatient. Even though it's a month on average, at least I can sleep in my own bed and see my daughter. Of course the hospital she and my psychiatrist referred me to is out of my network, so I called another hospital. I go for an assessment in the morning, and I'm really nervous. I have no idea what to expect at all except that it's pretty much all day. Is it the same as inpatient or totally different? Anyone have an idea of what I'm getting myself into?
