I tell myself all the things I should be doing, but I don't do them. I just break down sobbing over and over all day long. Without some real major help, I don't think I am going to improve. Sorry to dump my problems like this. PC is about all I have. I don't have friends. There is just my S/O, but he is worn out with my sadness. So I'm home trying to give him a break.

I'm having a lot of the same problem too. I reserved a car today(it's cheaper than using a cab & the bus doesn't go where I have to go) but I just canceled. I find it so hard to leave home and the lack of sleep doesn't help. I'm down to a jar of green beans, pasta & dried beans, but more importantly I need to get copies of verification to give to various people to keep my benefits but I'm just so unable to leave my place.
It is the same w/ the hospital & lack of partial. If there was partial I would try that but what is available now is geared toward the lowest functioning people that have no real ability to do group therapy. It is more like adult day care than a functioning therapeutic group. It is because of this that I wanted to move back home the hospital there is number 7 or eight in the nation for mental health care.
I think the people on PC should get together and start a revolution in mental health care. We know what is needed & whats unnecessary, Validation, group therapy that is accessible to every level not just those at the lowest & placed there by judges. Peer run drop in centers that have activities for socialization w/o fear, a book exchange, a quiet room, ect.....
I just want you to know you are not alone.
