I'm starting a partial hospitalization program on Tuesday and am very anxious about it now. I don't really know what to expect and I'm afraid I'll get to the site and then not be able to enter because I feel paralyzed. I think if I were starting today I would be fine, but I have 4 days to wait, and I don't know if can handle the chest tightness, shaking, and other anxiety symptoms for that long. Has anyone experienced this?

Partial hospitalization can be a very nice experience. You learn a lot of tools to help you out in the real world. Everyone is very supportive. However, I know that the waiting is hard, but you will be glad that you did it once it's over. I made a lot of friends in there as well. We all like understood each other.
Hang in there until Tuesday.

Hi, detfan4life, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). When I get that anxious I try to turn it around and convince myself I am "excited"
 Think of something you'd like to get from this experience and how you might be able to use the experience and what you learn afterwards.

Let me say though-in my experience-they understood and did their best to help me feel comfortable, and less anxious they were great. Try to relax, positive thoughts, and most of all please know they are not the enemy, they are there to help you. |

yes there are several survival things to be learned in the hospital and friends are easy to make too.
