Thanks so much for your input Fallsfall. My doctor is actually going with me for a short tour of one hospital next week (if I don't end up there sooner). Maybe I'll go myself to look at a second place.
I'm afraid I don't take well to directed group activities. But I am sure I could benefit from one-on-one talk therapy and more intensive work with a doctor as you described. I like the idea of a counselor assigned to you for every shift. And getting to get a break and regroup. Part of me wants to go, part of me is scared. I know my doctor is very justified in her concern.
Not being able to go outdoors in the autumn would really increase my mental distress, so how locked up I would be is a *major* *MAJOR* issue - like if I could at least go outside even if it was with someone would really help. (I think I could use some kayak therapy.) No matter how suicidal I was I just think I would completely and totally lose it if I felt locked up. I'd have to ask about it when I see the place I guess. Gawd, I just have such a claustrophobic/mental block about this.
We'll see if I even out a bit in the next few days...
Emme still feels horrid.
