I am no longer in the partial hospital program (insurance) but as of today have been switched to the intensive outpatient program. It will be three days a week and two hours less per day.

The program starts for me now at 10am instead of 9am.

Which means no one knows what time the van will be here to pick me up.

But I was up and ready to go at 7:30 anyway just in case they came on the "old" schedule today, so as not to miss today altogether.

Its a whole new level of waiting for me...

Well I'm guessing that I'm not getting picked up today again...

BUT this is OK, since I only have three days a week now I'd rather go in tomorrow because I made an appointment with legal services tomorrow afternoon. The guy who is going to take me to that appointment--the guy from the diversion program--works in the same building as these partial hospital programs, which means he can meet me upstairs when my IOP is over to take me to the appt. rather than having to come pick me up at my house.

I will have to make sure I am picked up tomorrow though.

Seriously though... yes I am much better able to "go with the flow" today... when I started this program I was feeling so badly and so badly in need of help that having the van miss me was very stressful and upsetting.

It is not like I can "blow off" the program now but there is less stress involved with missing a day... especially if it really only means "switching" today for tomorrow rather than really missing a day.
