I discharged from my outpatient program last Friday. I am proud of myself for sticking with it, especially since it was a long program (about 1 1/2 months). I do feel more confident in being able to move forward with my life again outside of program, especially as this week has gone on. There is …

Another PHP
I recently retuned to another PHP (partial hospitalization program). I'm not a fan of calling it "partial hospitalization" because I'm not in a hospital. The program is located in a nice facility. I attend the program Monday-Friday from 9:30am-2:30pm. This is the 3rd PHP program that I have attended over the past 5 years. When …
Why Is Getting Help So Expensive?

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 3: Partial Hospitalization
Today was my third day in the Partial Hospitalization program and the local hospital. However, it has been four days since I was last there due to the weekend and then Christmas holiday. I found myself happy to be back. This weekend was a lot of heightened emotion. Positive with the baby coming early, having …
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 …
