I am not sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I have been in for depression, so hopefully it's ok.

I've been in hospital for close to 3 months now. I am most likely going home in a few days to a week. In some ways I want to leave (getting a bit sick of being treated like a child/criminal all the time), but I also really, really don't want to leave. I'm sure this is pretty normal... but I just have no idea how I will react once I have left. I have gotten so used to it. I have been in 3 different hospitals over the three months, so at least I have had a bit of change during that time. But I am scared I'm going to freak out at the lack of attention and just having to be independent again and responsible for myself.

I know it's important to have a plan- I'm trying to organise to get into some group therapy, but that probably won't be available for close to a month after I get out. My old psychologist I was seeing before I came into hospital said I can see him in the gap... but I have mixed feelings toward him now as I've felt let down by him a few times since my admission. I am going to go back to work in a few weeks... which could be really good or could cause another melt down, I really don't know.

Has anyone else had a similar experience and have ideas to cope?
Most of the people I've met in hospital either haven't been in very long, or have been in repeatedly... so obviously their coping strategies haven't worked too well.
