With my day hospital program, that is. I didn't want to have to go
on Thursday, anyway, so Friday's a good, close day to start.
Thanks for the support.

Not really ease. I hate groups, though by the end I start to get
more comfortable with the people there with me. I can't remember
names, which makes it more difficult. On the plus side, I can talk
to clinicians whenever I want or need to, and I've always gotten
something usable out of this program in specific. It's also better
than going full in-patient, which is really my only other option.

Some good, some hard. I feel like a total outsider, but I know
it'll get better.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Thanks, Diane.

They have asked, and I've told them it was for my depression
when it gets bad. They know about my depression, though I've
tried not to let it affect them too badly. I've always been
there for them, whether it's a school function, to play a game
(sometimes with me in bed), or just talk. Now my older son's in
college. My younger son's 15 and has had friends with
depression, and his closest friend's mother's bipolar, refuses
to take her meds, and is completely unreliable. His poor friend
has been in 4 high schools in the past year, as her mother keeps
moving, often to different states.

I just recently talked to my younger son about hospitalization.
He already pieced together that I tend to go in when I'm
changing my meds. He's right. Sometimes for other reasons, but
almost always during med changes.

Glad you got started and that it is at least some good. I'm sure it
will get better (as you know). I hope it helps lots!
