I deiced to get a tattoo. I've actually been thinking about it for years, but never had anything I loved to have permanently placed on my body. Then a few years back I heard about the semi-colon tatoo and the meaning behind the symbol. It stuck with me and I knew that somehow I one …

Day 5: Partial Hospitalization
Friday was day #5 of the program. I did not like them as much, especially on Friday. I felt worse at the end of the day on Friday then I did all week. I think a big part of it was due to a different therapist leading the discussions. Her style did not work as …
Day 4: Partial Hospitalization
Today was day four of my partial hospitalization program. I started a week ago today. Half of the people who attended today were new. I like how there is a mix of all levels of people in our program. We all are there cheering each other on. We've all been new. We all need help. …

Day 2 – Partial Hospitalization
Yesterday I had my 2nd day of the partial hospitalization program. I did not write last night because as I was leaving for the day I got a text from my mom saying that my sister-in-law is going to be induced tomorrow (today)! The baby's due date is Jan 9th, but at their weekly routine …
Day 1- Partial Hospitalization Program
I started a 7 business day partial hospital program today. Partial hospital program sounds scary, but really it's group therapy sessions. Or so it was today. I will be honest. I am not a fan of group sessions of any kind. However, since I got into this program and I know it is ultimately for …
