I should have stayed in the hospital longer. My social worker said "the goal is to stay out not get out". I should have listened better. The bad thoughts are returning. I have a meeting with their pdoc tomorrow to get a recommendation to their day program. Maybe it has just been these three days at home alone that have gotten to me. I hate day programs and don't think they have much to offer me. I know I am being pessimistic. I really hope traffic cooperates tomorrow and I make it to my T on time to see her.

Everyone has bad thoughts, it just matters if you will act on them or not. I have bad thoughts almost all the time but I will not act on them. It may be different for you though.

I was not much impressed by the day programs I have attended in the past either, Crook32. But they did give me someplace to be & something to do to keep my mind off of my troubles. Being at home alone following a hospitalization is, from my perspective, probably the worst option. So, based on my personal experience, I would encourage you to get into a day program, or some similar activity, as soon as possible. Under any circumstances, I wish you all the best in your recovery.

Thoughts are just thoughts not actions, they don't determine who you are or what your life will be.

Just left my T's office and she agrees that I left too early from inpatient. I see the dr today about the day program and my T wants me to ask about inpatient again. I am not what to do.
