Today has been one of the worst days I have had since I came home from the hospital. All I can seem to do tonight is cry. I have been pretty independent every since I was diagnosed even when things were at the worst for the last 5 years. Now I am losing everything and I may lose my independence too. Seems like the best intended advice from friends and family isn't helping me right now. Anyway maybe after some sleep tomorrow will be better.

Did your stay in the hospital help you? Did you learn some coping mechanisms? Did they tweak your meds?
If you've just come out of the hospital and feel this way, I really think they haven't helped you enough.
In times like this I make a point to see my T, sleep lots and distract myself by being around happy people.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for this!

Ok well today isn't my day...but here's to thinking it might get better. I have had one of the worst anxiety attacks which is brought on being around people. I have to start going through things so that I can move. I have to find motivation somewhere. People have the best intentions but they don't understand that when you aren't mentally there it is more difficult.
Thanks for this!

Go very gentle on yourself right now. You are in a very vulnerable place. Honor that state and time in your life. Let it be ok. Get helpful people around you. I'm glad you are here posting-I hope you feel some support from here. And yes, alot of people that havn't been where you are will not understand what you are going through. That is just the way of the world.
If you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you are going to feel and get better.
Take care

Well little by little I am getting some things done. I have decided to tuck my tail and go and apply for a new job. I have to start somewhere putting the pieces of my life back together. Taking one day at a time. Having to learn that people will think what they want and not let it matter to me.
One step at a time.
Hope everyone has a good day.

I am so thankful I have found this site. It has been very hard for me finding support. I have some close friends but most do not understand mental illness and think it is something that you can control. I have had a hard time and some decisions I have made ended up making things more difficult for me. I am here for a reason and I just have to keep on until I get things right.I want to start therapy again but that will have to wait until I get insurance and money again. One thing at a time. Thanks to all that support each other here.
