Current Events > I just finished 3 weeks at a mental health outpatient thing

(+) Yeah! (+)

it's like a psychward, but with therapy groups, and you can go home at the end of the day. kind of felt like being in college or even high school but with mental health stuff rather than school stuff. when people say to suicidal/depressed/whatever people "there is help" or "get help" this is basically the help that you get.

idk if it was really helpful but they did teach us some cool breathing and stretching techniques that are supposedly good for wellness. the main reason i was there was so i can see a doctor regularly, they also have social workers and occupational therapists.

overall i'd say if you don't feel well, you should try something like this out, they really go out of their way to make patients comfortable and safe and all that. obviously the availability of these programs probably depends on where you live.
