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.

That's great that you have a date and can look at the "campus"
 a bit and get some idea of how it might be/feel different from previous.

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.

splitimage, I hope you go in wanting to be like a sponge and soak up all there is that is offered. Good luck.
