Gracie,

First of all, love the name.

2. What happened to you is really scary.

3. By day program, I mean "day treatment program", or "day hospital" or "partial hospitalization". It goes by different names in diffent places. A lot of hospitals that have good psych units have this option. Basically, you go there everyday for most of the day, and it is a structured place to get therapy, group therapy, and opportunities to work on what you will do next to help yourself.

4. Frankly, I am surprised the hospital discharged you without something like this. If your family feels you are still at such high risk that they must lock you in, you do need more intensive treatment right now.

Do you have a pdoc to help you locate such a program?
