I'm in my 3rd week of daily outpatient treatment.
The plan is to release me tomorrow. Will I be ready? Will i do something stupid again? Will I be able to get back to my job? Will I disappoint everyone yet again?
I'm struggling. How do i re-enter my old world and not freak out and fail again?
Anyone have any advice?
Doesn't your outpatient program offer any ongoing resources to you upon release? Do you have a therapist that you will be seeing. You have us here. How are you doing right now?
Yes i will continue with therapy, just won't be daily therapy. I appreciate all of you!
My question would be the same as the one asked by gajh
What is the follow up plan? You shouldn't be discharged from a program without appointments set up to continue your work
My advice is to not give up. Three weeks is a good start to healing but it's going to take more time.
You did not fail. You have an illness that took over. You can beat this, trust me.
Your brain is telling you that you disappointed people. I'm sure those that care about you just want you to feel better.
We are here for you. We understand what you are going through

Thank you for the kind words. I am released but now awaiting my release from my family doctor. I realize like everyone has said that this is an ongoing affair of me working on myself for the rest of my life. It will not go away. Hoping learning some coping skills and knowing I can go back into the program if I can't make it again.
I did a day program for 6 weeks I think. Then I was transitioned to a trauma therapist and psychiatrist.
After a year an EMDR therapist was added and then she started IFS therapy after that.
This is my team and I have been blessed.
It is a life long battle. The goal is to have skills to make life more balanced.
Keep working it
Thank you!
It's going to be just fine! Stop worrying, save your energy for positive thoughts and feelings. U are perfectly able to get control over your feelings. Go, do your best, allow yourself to make some mistakes, and don't blame for anything,..then come back to tell us and show off!
