Inpatient isn't where I would go. I'd suggest a therapist so you can work with someone on a more long-term plan/strategy. This way you can try coping skills out, refine them, and adjust when needed.

I find that my mind races so much sometimes and there is so much internal dialogue going on, that by the time I see friends or my doctors, to me 2-3 weeks have gone by and I've moved on to other things. In reality only 5-7 days have passed and I end up omitting key elements my docs want to know and then I get ticked when they don't know something, because in my mind I have told them but I only thought I did. Really sucks. I've had to write down the critical things to keep track of them.

Anyway...check out a therapist. Inpatient is good if you are a danger to yourself or out of control. It really isn't designed to be a bootcamp for therapy.
