Discharged from the Hospital

I have completed an inpatient stay in the mental health ward of a hospital. Depression and PTSD have got the best of me over the past few months. I am now working on ways to pull it together and continue on. Luckily, I have an intensive treatment plan in place and I feel that it will help me greatly.

I feared going to the hospital but I was so close to ending my own life. I had few choices but to reach out for medical help. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable my stay was in the ward. Sure, I was trapped in a psychiatric ward but I needed to be there. During that time I had a medication adjustment and I met doctors and social workers that helping me through this crisis.

I plan on writing some more as this treatment plan unfolds. Hopefully, this story will be use to others.
