Afraid when they're going to be discharged from hospital?
 I am being discharged this Friday and am very excited, but have feelings of dread and worry, and also some depression. I sometimes feel that I should SI to show the staff that I'm not ready to go home, even though I am. I guess I'm worried that once I leave, I won't have my safety net (even though I WILL have outpatient support), and I'm afraid of relapsing and going back into hospital, and the nurses would be mad at me for coming back. Has anybody else ever felt these feelings before?

I know exactly how you feel and it feels like steping off a cliff but if they feel that you are well enough to be discharged even after you talking to them about your concerns then that cliff will be steps. Maybe little ones at first but the hardest part of doing anything new and or a change (remember the first day of school) You can do it.
But make sure you let the staff or your therp know what you are feeling. I have been in the hospital several times and it doesnt get easier, I still feel the same way the last day, excited but scared. I hope this may be of some help. Take Care, humors1

“The past is gone, the future is not yet
here and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~ Melissa.recovering, try to taking one thing at a time, look into the future, yes things are difficult, but you can't stay in a shell forever, let yourself out and walk around. Try talking about really wanting a "safety net" before you leave. before I left, I made sure that i had a complete "safety net" set in place or else I wouldn't leave. Now it's 4 years later and I'm doing much better, yes I do still have a safety net, but I'm letting it go one piece at a time, just get it in place first. I will now be going into an internship at a psychiatric residential treatment facility for social work and things have long changed now. Trust me, over time, you will recover and things do get better over time. PM me sometime, I'd love to chat. I just set up a new blog forum and it's an interactive one where I go one 2-3 times daily. Feel free to post whenever you like. I have skills help focus topics with reading passages, then skills practice after, you leave your comments and I reply and post feedback/a new page regarding that topic. I also take requests about topics. ~ dance59326

The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"  Thich Nhat Hanh |
