Have you ever went back into the hospital after just being released? If so, did you go voluntarily back in or involuntarily? How'd you know you needed to go back in?

I was just released 1 week ago from being inpatient for 2 weeks. I thought it was helpful for the most part until I felt like I was pushed out because I wasn't making enough progress and I self harmed once while in there.

My SI thoughts have came back really strong this week with being home and confronting everything that was opened up while I was in the hospital. My thoughts got pretty bad a few times this week, but I was able to just go to sleep and start the next day again. I've SH the worst I've done in 2 years twice this week to the point of needing stitches....which has never happened.

I told my T today about all this, and he just told me to go to the crisis walk in center this week if I'm feeling bad again. Last week he said he didn't want me to go home because he knew I was just released and I was feeling overwhelmed...and this week he didn't say anything.

I feel very confused tonight and this week on what I should do. I don't want to be seen as an attention seeker or just trying to escape the situation, so it's hard for me to be objective about the situation.

I think if you don't feel safe and can't guarantee to keep yourself safe then you should go back in. I've had to go back a couple of times not long after being discharged/discharging myself. Once voluntarily, the other not. In some of my longer admissions, I've seen the same patients come and go. I think it's quite normal.

Please don't worry about coming across as an attention seeker, if you're not coping and need more support then you should just go for it.

I hope things improve for you soon

If you're not safe, like the first poster said, you need to go back. Sometimes u need a little more help and that's perfectly ok. (Gentle hugs)

I've had to go back to inpatient just a week over being released. I went back voluntarily and they took me. It's nothing to be ashamed of. If you feel you need the help, then do it. That's all the motive you should need.

I'very been seriously considering going back in or talking to my T on Thursday about going back in. I'm just a wreck, even though I'm still "functioning ". I broke down in tears this morning over nothing, I have very little patience for my kids, and my SH/SI thoughts are really high.

I'm trying to hang in there because I know my husband will be upset again if I go in because he'll lose money from not being able to work.

Yes. And it was absolutely sickeningly illegal every step of the way. Unfathomable.

I hope if someone "suggests" it in the future they don't have any plans.
