Don’t worry about being “ happy” you just got out of a long IP stay , it will take time for the meds to fully kick in and just readjusting to life here on the outside. But we already talked about that.

I’m just glad your safe. “ happy will come” when your baseline and feeling well.

Welcome home! Be kind to yourself. It can take a while to recover from being IP. Take care.

Good to see you again! As far as "being happy", I'll agree with Christina's post. It'll come, just maybe not yet. Give yourself time, it's ok. You just get out of a long stay, please be gentle with yourself, ok?

Welcome back! I agree with the others that it takes time to get anywhere after an ip stay. Try not to push yourself too hard. Big hugs.
