I just got home from a four-and-a-half day stay in a Crisis Stabilization unit.
I was only there since immediately after my appointment at the mental health clinic on Thursday, but it seems like I was gone F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! But it's weird, now, I feel like... I can't describe it. Like a lost, scared little girl...and I don't know why... I should be happy that I am home... right? Last edited by Miracle1986; Mar 31, 2009 at 04:23 PM. |

Not necessarily so, Manda.
You were in a unit where you were watched closely and in some ways this may have helped you feel protected... It's also an end to an intense time, and you may be feeling drained. Please be kind to yourself, Manda. It will take a day or two for you to feel comfortable at home. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong; it's most likely adjusting to being home. If you do start to feel worse, though, please let them know asap. Peace and Power, Cap

Manda,
Capp said exactly what I would have said if I were writing you. I've been in 3 times and the last time was for 2 1/2 weeks. They told me at one point that I never slept more than 2 hours at night. I was having trouble being in there - but they made me eat regularly and they gave me a sense of structure and boundaries and the world was literally locked out rather than feeling I was locked in. (when my insurance ran out they immediately decided I was "MUCH better"!!) SO, when I went home it felt good and bad, familiar but back to face all the things that were there when I left. It was not easy, but it got better after I'd been home a while. Take as good a care of yourself as you can, eat, sleep, play a little and hang in and it will get better again. Leslie

manda
 it's hard sometimes to reenter the "world"...especially after being in a calm and safe environment. i can recall feeling the same way after i got home. try to be kind to yourself while you readjust. if you find that you're still having depression issues please let your t or pdoc know. hope you're feeling better real soon...and keep us posted too. i'm glad you posted about how you are feeling cause at least we can acknowledge our own similiar experiences. hopefully that will ease your mind somewhat.

What is home? If it is a place that you feel safe (not should), supported with unconditional love and where you are not feeling like you need to be some one that you are not ? If your answer is no to any of these things, I would think that your sadness would unfortunately be normal and 'home' is not safe for you. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
