A few other places I frequent have a thread such as this, so I thought it might be fun to have one here. Feel free to have a rant, pose questions, share shower thoughts or anything else really. As long as it’s respectful anything goes.

I finished my mental health partial hospitalization today. I was supposed to be discharged tomorrow but I just couldn’t deal with group therapy in a cramped, crowded, hot room for 6 hrs per day, M-F.
I was like shit I’m going to have a panic attack at the place designed to help people not have panic attacks.
I advocated for myself and got out of there before fully flipping my shit.
It ended up going well but that just concluded 3 weeks of intense group therapy….and the kicker is I’m a counselor and I run group therapy for a living so it was like work instead of my own recovery.
Tomorrow will probably be a snow day and I’m going to sleep in! At least I’m done with the PHP!

Really proud of you for advocating for yourself and seeking assistance for your mental health. I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t entirely helpful and possibly made things worse in some areas. I don’t know if there are other resources or options in your area or remotely that might be helpful in case you need further assistance in the future. At the very least, you have many ears here and maybe some helpful voices if you need our support. :))

Thank you! I feel Grouvee is a big support for me despite not meeting any of you and will probably not but it helps alleviate isolation.
Right now I’m just taking it easy from all the mental health appointments and therapy (even though I meet my new therapist tomorrow which I’m really excited about!)
Honestly going out in public today would be nice and I have a lot to do around the house, still trying to get my FMLA to go through, and cleaning/exercising but I also need to not do too much.
Thank you for your kind words Roach
