IOP Uncertainty

[88cev88]

I’ve been so depressed. My therapist suggested IOP (intensive outpatient) but I’m not convinced it will be helpful since my living situation is so bad it won’t be addressing the root cause of my depression. I was given IOPs to call to see if they will accept me, but my depression is so severe that I don’t feel able to. My mom offered to help me but they will probably still want to talk to me because of privacy laws. I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel stuck.

Try inpatient, it sounds scary due to Hollywood but it gives you a safe place to be from yourself and others, they will look at your meds and give you therapy. It is nice to have someone else take the load you carry.🙂

Hmm, okay, thanks. I was there short-term a few years ago. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to go back.

I have many days I want to go back.

I’m glad it helped you enough that you want to go back but sorry you are struggling.
