So I'm heading into my second week in the hospital as a result of a manic episode and Im feeling a whole range of emotions from confusion to anger to loneliness. Part of me understands the disorder as completely as I think I ever will and knows I needed the respite and round the clock care the hospital provided but the other part of me feels that after a week I am ready to resume my place back in normal society. I get to be home for most of the day which I am grateful for and I mainly sleep there but even that I struggle with. I have the opportunity to discharge myself tomorrow but there will be no one at home to meet me and everyone will probably be ****** or I can wait til Friday when people will be more accepting. I just want to be back to my regular standard but everything is mind numbing and the longer I wait the harder it will be to get back to school.

Any advice?

I would vote for Friday ... Seems a little more help is needed and why go home now when you know its going to rough where as Friday you will have more support.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
