my suggestion is just keep following what your own treatment providers and the crisis center want you to do, they are the ones that are in the best position to tell you what to do..

also since you are new and most times new people miss scrolling all the way to the bottom of the pages I would like to bring that disclaimer at the bottom of the page to your attention... it says...

The material on this site is for informational purposes only, and is not a substitute for medical advice,
diagnosis or treatment provided by a qualified health care provider. .
Always consult your doctor or mental health professional before trying anything you read here.

in other words we cant diagnose you, we cant tell you what to do about your own problems. for that you need to contact your own treatment providers.

what we do here is just like if you and one of your off the computer friends sat down and enjoyed sometime together sharing a bit of your life and your problems. sometimes someone may make a suggestion but only you and your treatment providers know what you should and shouldn't do for your own mental problems.

sometimes we talk about what our own treatment providers calls things and how they are working with us but again only you and your own treatment providers can say whats what in you and whats what for you to do about things directly related to you.
