I thought I would be sick forever and die in a psychiatric hospital. I have a fear of psych wards. Through psychosocial rehabilitation and going to an adult partial care program five days a week I was soon able to access and get outpatient services. I feel like going to a program five days a week for over a year was one of the best things I ever did. I would go to a program again depending on whether or not they have journaling and poetry groups.
I never thought I could make peace with my mental illness.
