Recently Hospitalized

[melloopy]

Hi, I'm new to the community. I struggle with anxiety, depression and PTSD. I just got out of the psych hospital after being there for a week. I went in feeling extremely depressed and suicidal. I came out with some med changes and feeling much better.

I find myself struggling again because I found out yesterday (the day 8 got out of the hospital) that I was not allowed to go back to the friends house I was staying at prior to the hospitalization. So now i am homeless. I have been trying since January to find an apartment with no luck. I am beginning to feel very overwhelmed with all that I have to do in the coming days. I am beginning to feel the full weight of my depression again, I dont want to end up in the hospital again.

This is appalling, that they should discharge you knowing this without even involving any support agencies.

Have you thought about doing a Google search for Charitable organisations that will help you find accommodation & offer other support?

I was told I was getting discharged before I found about the home thing. I am on housing assistance, but because of covid and the inability to evict people, nothing is available.

Will you be ok at the friends where you're staying now?

How long can you stay there for?

[melloopy in reply to Mary-intussuception]

He said until I find a place. Yes I am safe here.

Thank you for asking....

I am having high anxiety because of the whole thing. No real depression though. 👍

It's such a difficult time isn't it

Are there any family you could stay with while looking for a place? Sending you good wishes!
