still shut down |
i'd been about 90% closed down, dissociated, and am at least
that much now, if not more. got what little emotion i had left
put through the wringer today. 2 gut-wrenching groups at partial
today. and because things were so heavy, we had a light ot
group, but i got called out by my partial therp. we spent a full
hour going over what caused me so much trouble with my treatment
plan last week,clarifying and making modifications. hopefully, i
won't go over the top again and need full in-patient from this.
the weird thing is that i'm doing better now than i was this
morning. most of the pressure came off of what emotions i could
still feel. when we modified the treatment plan, i even cried.
relief. when i was done, i was even more dead, but there was no
more terror left behind. definitely better.

What is it like at the hospital? What do you do there?
it's a very good program, mostly group-related. a regular
interpersonal group, occupational therapy or medication group,
your choice of expressive writing or dual diagnosis
(addictions) group, and community integration, where you
review your day and make plans for what you'll be doing (or
not doing) until you come back. a break in the middle for
lunch. it runs from 9-2:30, so leaves plenty of time for other
activities later in the day, should you not be put through the
wringer by intense groups and just want to go home to rest.
they have licensed therapists running all the groups and
acting as contact people should something arise during the
day, and you see the staff pdoc once/wk.
it's a 10-day program, usually 3 days per week, so it runs
just over 3 weeks for most of us.
