Two weeks ago, I was able to be there to stop him from attempting suicide, and then sent him off to the mental hospital. Now he is going back home, and I'm not in the right state of mind to deal with him. Yet I have to. I'm not convinced that he should have been released. and he doesn't have the support that he really needs, which adds to the situation.
And then to add to it all I haven't been doing all so well, I want to sleep all the time, and not study. Not to mention my focus has been terrible. I'm out of options, except for contacting my T, but I just don't want to talk about it. I hate the snow, and driving in it. and it's almost class time again. I had to vent a little in hopes of it helping... I've even tried aromatherapy a bit, and it helped for a little bit, but not enough. Oh well got to go to class.

I'm a little new concerning your situation. As far as I know, if you are an adult, they can only hold you in a psych ward until you are no longer a danger to yourself or others. Its not hard to learn to say the right things.
When you look at the snow, realize that it is only a temporary thing. It won't be there forever. Just be careful with driving in it.
I know that you don't want to talk to your therapist about your friend, but it is making an impact in your life, and it might be nice to have some advice. Its hard to make decisions when the ill person is someone you know. You are not responsible for his illness, nor are you responsible if he makes another attempt on his life. Are they just letting him out with no plan, medication or appointment with a therapist? Our psychiatric care leaves a lot to be desired. This person needs more help than you can give. If nothing else, see if you can get the name of a therapist that might be helpful for his situation from your therapist. i'm really sorry that you have to deal with all this.
