If it does end up best for your to leave the hospital, can you maybe go to an Intensive Outpatient program or at least schedule frequent visits to your therapy and psychiatrist?:

Thanks for thinking of me. It is disappointing that I can't relax here properly until I fully recover, but I do feel ready to deal with the outside world. I am just a but vulnerable. It is a good idea to see my T and pdoc more. I will see my T weekly and my pdoc at least weekly for the first few weeks to make sure I am safe and recovering well. My partner will also stay with me for the first week so I won't be alone. That will help immensely.
I fell asleep around 9 pm and woke at 3.30 am. Slept on and off for an hour but have been awake since. It is 5.20 am now. I feel good but it is going to be a long morning. I don't start my discharge until 9 am, assuming my pdoc is on time. I should be out by 10 am. I am actually excited, and a little nervous.
