I just heard from my psych hospital this morning. I'm supposed to go IP on Aug. 11. It's a month long program. It's in one of the hospital's new buildings and is supposed to be unlike a traditional psych ward. I've seen pictures of the rooms and they look more like university dorm rooms than hospital rooms and we can lock the doors.
But I'm still scared. I don't like being IP. I'm used to living alone and doing what I want when I want to, so being around a whole bunch of people is hard. But I think it'll be good for me. --splitimage |

I think it will be good for you. I can imagine how scary this all is though. I wish you the best of luck and it's nice you have a little time to get used to the idea and get everything set before you go.

I often feel that therapy and self care is like the most important type of school. Sometimes leaving therapy to me is like leaving a long, difficult class. I hope this is a place where you can find some help and receive good things. You deserve the best. Sending you many good wishes. You are in my thoughts.

Will you be able to post whilst you're in hospital? We sure will miss you. I am sure you are also doing the right thing, what is best for you.
