I forgot to mention the best thing about inpatient treatment (just in case you ever decide to try it). The best thing is you don't have to _pretend_ anymore. You can drop whatever "I'm okay" acts you put on for the world and really just let yourself feel. Pretending to be okay to spare other's feelings is so exhausting!
One more thing: the environment in inpatient really is not nearly as "down" or depressing as you'd think. We're all just people trying to get better and we seem to be good at retaining our senses of humor and compassion for others.
Best to you,
