The mix of people attending was a challenge for me, not a good mix most of the time and with work related issues also. I even thought of a residential program a few months ago but have gotten to a better place of late and realize missing my family would be detrimental knowing how slow and hard it is for me to acclimate myself. I don't open up or even talk so a breaking in period is very frustrating and time consuming.
Confused.
Thanks for your concern and comments.
Today seems to start off a bit better eventhough I had a very rough night in bed last night.
The sunny Saturday has me in a sunny mood.
Big family event today, hoping for not too much anxiety and not too much drink.  |
((((Little Me)))) Some of the people in the program I am in has people who have been through the program before. We are all grouped together based on what we are dealing with. I'm with 18 in total who are dealing with depression and anxiety. If I remember in a past conversation we are in the same/close proximity geographic location. If you are interested in knowing more about the program I'm in feel free to private message me and I can give you the info. This hospital has many programs that fit different situations.
I know how scary it is to get help. On my first day of the program I was about jumping out of my skin and I noticed how many people feel the same way on their first few days. In general it feels great to be surrounded with people in the same or similar struggles and we've all had different paths that have gotten us to the program. It kind of feels like what psych central would be like if it were in 'real life' in person. Many hugs!!!
