so after my hospitilizations I was always offered iop but I always had to worry about work and rushed back to it
soooooo that didn't work out well as I recently got fired. My question is for ppl who have done iop what was your experience ? Did it help you stabilize more in the long run?
I only see a pdoc , no counselor so I think something like this may be very beneficial to me
heeres hoping

I've done IOP and PHP multiple times in the last two years. When I went to the evening IOP I found it most helpful because they had a process group where we could just talk about what was going on and get support. That's what I find helpful. I don't need all the psychoeducation classes because I've been at this for years, I know that **** already. So it really depends on the program and how it's run for me. I will say that the PHP I went to when I was 19 basically saved my life because they helped me process through my dad's death and my neglected childhood.

I think it may be a good thing to try while I have the chance and try to navigate this madness that has taken over

I've done IOP twice. The first time I was in high school and it was an all day program. It helped me tremendously. The second time was just last year and I found it incredibly redundant, each day listening and talking about the same things with VERY little time for feedback. It was not at all helpful for me. I did get better but I am pretty sure it is only because in the three weeks I was there I switched from depressed to hypomanic.

haha I know what you mean
sometimes I feel like the only time I get better is when I get hypo and that has probably led me to chasing it somewhat
its like an addiction straight up
