Get rid of the pills if you think having them is a danger, that's the first step. Next make sure your doing the things you need to continue your treatment, seeing a Pschiatrist, seeing a Therapist, i.e. continuing the treatment you were getting inpatient on an outpatient basis. Everything doesn't just get better because your out of the hospital, ya know.

I wouldn't suggest getting rid of your pills. You need to be on your medication, and You may not be able to stop your medication suddenly without suffering from severe withdrawals, so I might suggest putting your pills somewhere out of sight, like a closet or drawer, or even giving them to a parent or friend to hold onto, so you can still take your medication safely. I would also suggest calling your therapist or psychiatrist and let them know you are not feeling safe right now. It's so important to be open and honest with your treatment team, and it's really difficult to readjust to life when you get out of inpatient. There's nothing wrong with asking for a little extra support like an outpatient program or extra therapy appointments.

If you feel like you can't stay safe please call 911. You matter and you deserve all the help and treatment it takes for you to get well.
