It takes so much courage to go inpatient and I'm inspired by your desire to get to a more stable and healthy place. I was inpatient in March, and it's a hard thing, but in the long run, it was the best thing I could have done for myself.

Take a deep breath and hang in there. You've got this, and you're going to feel better.

You are taking care of yourself by doing this. Think about your time in the hospital as a break from everything. When I was in-patient, I journaled every day, and discovered a lot about myself. Set some small goals for yourself for when you get out and get plenty of rest. I admire your courage.

Your strength is inspiring, strength to take care of yourself. I cannot give you any advice about being there, but just send you my prayers and thoughts. I agree that you should journal every day. I did have a friend who had to go and now she is a true rock in my life when I need her. Hospitals are for healing so use everything it offers to do so.

I agree with others posting here. Don't fight the hospital stay. There's no shame in being inpatient. It's time away from stresses of life to focus on healing. The doctors and staff are there to help you. They are on your side. Eat well & try to rest. Take advantage of whatever inpatient services the hospital may offer you.
Be honest with them. Be real with them. Let them know how they may help you. I pray for much healing and quick recovery.

Blessings~

I've been inpatient a few times and for the most part it was really helpful, along with keeping me safe at the time, too. They helped get me through some of the hardest periods of my life. It was helpful being with others going through basically the same thing and talk about our experiences. I, too journaled most days.
Hope you have a positive and healing experience!!!!
