I don't have any aftercare yet... I'm told that I might have access to some groups, but I don't know if I'm considered a patient of the mental health services at the hospital. I did get lots of passes in the end, so I suppose that is like IOP in that I stayed overnight at home a few times and had a weekend out.

This was my first hospitalization in over 20 years so I wasn't sure what to expect... It makes sense to ease back into life and that is the opposite of what I did :-/ I tried to catch up on all I missed and put pressure on myself to catch up on months of stuff I let slip before that.
