I just got out of the hospital for depression & anxiety on Wed. I feel the same way now as I did before i went in. How can this be possible? Learned lots of new coping skills but are not working at home i am miserable. I do not know what to do anymore.

I know how you feel, i had the same situation a while ago. I honestly felt the same, but i used the coping skills constantly, and each day I tried something new and eventually i was able to slug through depression and get better. Just try to remain positive, and use those coping skills. Just give it time <3

I think you need to go back to the hospital and talk to the therapist. Perhaps they let you go home a little too soon.

Coping skills can take some time and practice to kick in and work well. Don't give up on it yet. And make sure to follow up with outpatient treatment too.
The hospital doesn't automatically change your life and your stressors. It just gives you some breathing space for a little while and a chance to regroup. When you go home, you are still dealing with the same stuff you were before, only hopefully with new tools. As far as feeling the same as when you went into the hospital, are you suicidal or in danger of hurting yourself or someone else? If you are, then you need to go back to the hospital. If you are safe, then it may be okay to keep working on those coping skills, but make sure you do have support. You could ask if there is a partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient program available. Maybe you need a more gradual step down in level of care. __________________ “We should always pray for help, but we should always listen for inspiration and impression to proceed in ways different from those we may have thought of.” – John H.

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