I was just discharged from the hospital today. I made a suicide attempt by overdose. I am doing well. Just still in a daze from the psych hospital. Anyone feel lost after being discharged? I feel like there's so much of my life to recover. I feel like it was a worthless stay. They didn't change my medications at all. I feel like I will never snap out of my bipolar. This was a hard experience for me, my worst hospitalization yet. Anybody else have a bad experience? For me, all I could think about was getting out and smoking a cigarette.

I sorry you don't feel it worthwhile. I think so though...you're still here. I am happy you are. Maybe you can discuss this with your pdoc and he will make med changes? Hospitals are really only to keep you safe. Its ongoing work with pdoc/t that helps us get better for the long haul. Ya know?
Well wishes!

Please nurture yourself.
You may be home. You are still fragile though. Take care of yourself emotionally. You grow and strengthen each day. I'm glad you're here. Thank you. |

I've never been in the situation you have, but I can imagine that one would be in a fog after an attempt. Some people consider the process of overdose, hospital then release to almost be unreal. How are you doing now?

I'm so happy you're still here!
When I was discharged from the hospital in january I was in a daze too, and I was scared. I took off of work for two weeks just to recover. In the hospital all any of us could think about was getting out and having a smoke. Your hospital experience wasn't pointless because you're STILL HERE, and that makes me happy.
