My T doesn't like the idea of me waiting, but honestly, I'd feel better if I could get some stuff taken care of before going in. That's IF I decide to do it at all.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

I don't know what has been said this far but for me it was a waste of time & money to go to a mental hospital. You have NO freedom at all. You eat when they tell you to eat. You goto bed when they tell you to goto bed. (As someone who works until 2am this was a big problem for me.) There is only so much you can do before you are just sitting around bored. For me the best way to past the time when I am bored and can't do anything else is to sleep. They don't ask you why you are sleeping they just assume you are still depressed. You only meet with a Pdoc once a day for 10 minutes max. It is treated very much like an adult daycare.
