Pysch Hospital Stay

Hello everyone!


I am back from a 4 day hospital stay at my local psychiatric ward.


I have been home for about 2 hours, as I was sitting outside with friends and family I felt it (anxiety) creeping back in.


I'm so ready to just feel myself again. I cant take much more of this. I am just tired, and drained. I dont understand why this is happening to me. I was so excited, so ready to come home and I have already locked myself in my room.

Go back outside and look at all the nature's beauty.

Sit quietly, listen, see, smell, feel, and taste the outside.

Breathe even.

That was good that you were outside with friends and family.

Keep on keeping on.

Best wishes.

I agree with Mid. Go back outside and get with your friends. When I was hospitalized I got to go outside for just 15 min a day so when I got out I stood outside for an hour or so and felt good.

I feel very weak and drained right now. I'm still adjusting to new meds plus I didn't sleep well last night because I was so anxious to leave. Hopefully tomorrow morning I will feel better :(

Try not to set high expectations to feel better. I have been working on trying to be ok with how I feel in the moment.. it seems to help. Being okay, with just being okay. I feel your frustration though.. I spent a lot of time being angry because I 'wasn't myself' but really, we need to be okay with feeling uncomfortable. Hope this helps!
