I'm sorry it hasn't been a happier experience for you so far. Maybe it will get better as you go along.

((((JYL))))

We've missed you too.

Hang in there, jyl. I hope it gets better.

A little-known secret-- the butterfly net has holes in the bottom

Hang in there jyl... these things are always terribly tough at first.. I remember when I started day hospital it was hell.. and I was sure no one liked me and that every one were making judgements about me.. but after a couple of weeks everything was fine.. I'd made friends and things were cool...

One minute at a time hun..

Congrats on 3 days JYL!
I remember when I started day treatment programs, I was sure that every one was making judgements about me.. but after a couple of weeks I got to know some cool people and we laughed and laughed~~~it made it all a lot easier:-)
Hang in there and congrats again!..

Hey, you have made it so far. Good for you!

No drinks in 3 days? That is awesome.

You should be very proud of yourself - this was a hard thing to do.

We're cheering for you.

Hi JYL...I really hope the best for you. It may be a short ride...or may be a long ride...maybe some bumps, but that's what we are here for. I start my out-patient day program on Sept. 22 at St. Josephs/McMaster Anxiety Disorders clinic in Hamilton, and I am filling in the paperwork now...and they have asked me all of this weird stuff already in the package they sent, which puts me on edge.

So..here's to you..hoping the best...and I'll be put under the spotlight shortly too, so you aren't alone. :-) Best wishes,

Jay

Glad to hear you are surviving, JYL. I certainly hope things improve - hope that you will find some comfort in the companionship of those you are in the program with. There's definitely a strong commonality you can share with them.

Way to go!!!

JYL-

Persevere, m'dear.
Your effort is nothing short of herculean.
I send you wishes of hope and strength.
