I was discharged off of an inpatient unit today because the doctor felt as though it was making me worse. I go see my T tomorrow and I'm scared. I just need some support.

Was it also your idea that inpatient made you worse? What does he mean by worse? Not to be pushy, but usually docs don't stay on the ward to observe you themselves but rely on inpatient aids and techs to report what they think. You don't have to agree and your view certainly should count when you see T today. Some patients would fear having to be at inpatient but some would fear having to leave, so I'm not sure why you're afraid of what T will say. He's supposed to be supporting and helping you not be afraid, and supposed to explain things and be sympathetic. At any rate there are stiff limits on how much a therapist can make you do anything at all you don't want to, unless brow-beating works.

Worse as in symptoms were getting worse. She wanted to send me to a different facility that had private rooms, buy didn't want me to have to stay there any longer as to wait on one to open up. The rest of the staff was in shock that she was sending me home, and my social worker argued with her. I did hear her chewing out the staff telling them that if any of them had bothered to take the time to talk to me they would know why I was hiding in my room, crying, refusing to attend groups, and with sky high anxiety. I do agree that the unit was making me worse. I'm home, but no where close to being able to resume my normal activities. I guess I'm feeling a great deal of loss of control.
