I just got out of a week-long stay in the hospital myself. I’ve loved being home. The hospital was awful. It’s nice getting back into my normal routine, of doing absolutely nothing lol

Yeah I’m not missing the hospital lol. I’m just having difficulty interacting with people again because I mostly stayed to myself in the hospital. Talking with others feels incredibly laborious
I hear ya. I stayed to myself mostly, too. I opened up towards the end of my stay, though. I started talking to some of the nurses and techs. My roommate was a nice guy, fortunately.
But yeah, I feel like the hospital doesn’t really help at all. It’s either sleep all day, or stay incredibly bored. I tried to interact a little with others, but it was tough.

I always have really high anxiety after leaving the hospital as my stays are normally really long and I sort of get used to doing nothing and being in a safe environment. What normally helps me is going shopping with friends and treating myself to food that I really like and just chilling at home till I feel more ok with the outside world. Give yourself a nice bath or something lol. You just went through something bad! Treat yourself!

Usually when I came home after hospital it was difficult because the house stood empty - my husband went to stay with his parents each time I was in hospital. So when I got home there was the bird cage to clean and shopping and laundry to do. It was like being on holiday and coming home to work lol! But all the same, I was always happy to be back in familiar surroundings with someone I love.

I’m feeling really down in the dumps.
I’m becoming suicidal again. Not actively but just really wish I was dead.
Ugh. I know what you mean. I feel the same way. I just got out a week ago and I still have suicidal thoughts here and there. Feel terrible but I keep trying to distract myself as much as possible. Trying to see things in a different light. It’s so hard, I normally start feeling doom in the afternoon. Hope you feel better soon. I suppose if it gets worse for you, you might want to seek help.

When I was in between hospitalizations, I could rise to the occasion if we had company. But it would exaust me. Later I would suffer from the visit.
I can socialize comfortbly now.
