I am considering partial hospitalization for my anxiety and mild depression . I will be starting with the behavioral services supplied through my pcp face to face . First actual session is in under 2 weeks. I had a brief initial session I am rather anxious speak rapidly and answer tangentially .is that normal being stressed out and having avoidance as a coping means . I am rather isolated due to an odd work schedule which limits me contact with outside activities. Need advice!

Hey pbocka

I’ve said it more than a few times on here that I had tried so many things in my lifetime to find relief for both depression anxiety. I’m bipolar so throw in some manic episodes, tons of ruminations and very low self-esteem and I like many on here, and in the world have some decent challenges.

That said, I went to a hospital and check myself in in October 1922. What I found out was told that I had been severely medicated for most of my life or at least when I was diagnosed in 2010 I have been suffering since 1983, and especially in1995 when the onset of severe anxiety came into my world, I

was totally ignorant to the world of mental health, and how to go about finding relief, but once I was Diagnosed, it’s been a number of number of psychiatrists and not until that hospital visit that I find massive relief.

So I hope whatever it is you’re trying to do to , you find this post to be encouraging and maybe there’s something that your partial hospitalization or avenues are following can help you find some major relief like I have experienced

Life doesn’t suck anymore
