I'm somewhat afraid to post because I don't know you that well alexandra. I'm sure, given your experience with depression and treatment, that you have a good sense of what and where you need to feel better. One observation I have is that just today you helped me. You saw that I was upset and you said something very nice. It's hard for me to see someone so empathic and exquisitely thoughtful and kind as needing residential treatment. When I was in the hospital I was either psychotic or suicidal, both narcissitic states of self-absorbtion. If you need a secure setting, be sure to go. But I bet those fortunate enough to be there with you alexandra, will benefit tremendously from having you around.
