So the bottom line is got out of the hospital and I feel like I am getting worse by the minute at home. Pdoc wanted me to stay the weekend but whn I told him I wanted to go home he said I could under the agreement that if it gets worse I go back. I dont know what to do...I really dont want to go inpatient again. But my severe anxiety is worsening my depression and all that goes with it. I will start their partial program moday and see pdoc then. But wanted to get your opinions.

Melissa, if you're doing worse again, please go back! We want you to be safe.

There's your answer.

I hope you are going back to the hospital. You definitely need to go if you are feeling worse!

If you are feeling worse you should go back. I can understand not wanting to be an inpatient but your health and safety are the most important thing right now

I agree with the other posts, you say your pdoc agreed to let you go home on the condition that if you felt worse then you should go back in. You are saying you feel worse, so I do think you should go back.

Your pdoc is a professional and wouldn't give advice that he / she doesn't think is good advice. I appreciate that hospital is not always a great place to be, but it may be better to go now if you are starting to dip - maybe this will stop you dipping any further.

I hope you do decide to go - take care and keep safe - you matter to us on here - Soup

Coming out of hospital is a very hard thing to do for many people as it starts to feel like the safe place to be. I found it extremely difficult to leave the hospital environment after being an in patient for the majority of 3 months, a few years ago. I have kept myself out of it because I knw how dependant on it I become and how hard it is to try and adjust back to life outside.

If your Psychiatrist said that you should go back in, if your feeling worse- which you say you do feel, then that is probably the best thing.

I'd say it depends on how the place makes you feel. Surprisingly (or not so suprisingly after all?) there are people for whom hospitals are destabilizing. Sure, you get a safe place........ but it is sorta like when you take painkiller for broken bone - it feels tenfold worse when it wears off.

So depends on your previous experience and how safe you are. Your pdoc is professional but he does not live in your head (and he is protecting his *** and is on safe side). If you feel you cannot make it go. However, if you feel "just" depressed, maybe you could do it on your own - if you feel better and safer at home.

Do what you would tell a very dear friend to do.
