Yesterday, I left inpatient after a week stay. It was nice while I was in the hospital. I was relaxed for the most part. They helped me with medication changes, groups and discussions about ECT. I could have started my ECT treatment while there, but I wanted more time to think about it. I may do ECT as out patient. I just need to weigh the pros and cons.

I didn't sleep well tonight even though I was in my own bed. The cat kept waking me up and I was restless. I'm afraid to go back to sleep. I'm just concerned I'll continue to toss and turn. I'm not feeling all that well either. I'm a little overwhelmed by chores. I just don't have the motivation to do anything.

I wanted to start this coming week with IOP. But the night before my discharge, they told me my insurance didn't cover it. I'm really disappointed. I'll just work closely with my online therapist on issues and continue researching ECT for now.

It's good to be back on the forums. I hope everyone is doing well.

A trip to hospital impacts our energy levels. Be very kind and gentle to yourself. If a chore can wait til another day let it. If there is something you can do to pamper yourself?

Thank you! Today I have put off a lot of chores. I think I slept mainly. I pampered myself by ordering lunch. It was good.

Part of me wishes I was still in the hospital. I could get my ECT. I would have people to talk to. I would have care and support. I would miss my cats though. I keep thinking how can I re-create the low stress I experienced there. It's hard when you have issues like household maintenance problems, needing to go to appointments, people ignoring you, people triggering you, day to day responsibilities, loneliness, isolation, depression, etc. I guess I just need to come up with healthy distractions. I think I have the meals covered. I found a local grocery store that does fresh meals you just heat in the microwave. I found out recently that music helps me a lot. I've been creating new playlists.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. It is interesting that I was really stable the last time I was in the hospital with all thos e groups and therapists and stuff and have just deteriorated ever since getting out. Other than you precious and amazing people, I have noone to support me. I do it all by myself and it is really hard for me. I am psychotic all the time and battling my PTSD constantly. Was someone searching my apartment? Is that guy with the CIA? Are there cameras in my walls?

Just getting through the day is a big achievemnet for me, I just have to remember that. I used to invent cool lasers for doctors and travel all over the world and now I just try not to be readmitted.

You are doing an awesome job, Deilla. Try not to judge yourself. You are facing challenges others would crumble under. And we are here for you.
