I was hospitalised after a suicide attempt last weeks Monday, in which I broke two vertebrae. CAMHS kept me in the hospital until Monday/today (which they had told me on Friday). I've now been told for definite that I'm going home and I'm really really scared.
Being in hospital has been the most stress-free week of my life. All I've had to worry about is getting better and finishing puzzles etc. I've had the option of 24/7 help from the nurses. I made friends and wasn't around my family all the time (which I enjoyed the most). And obviously since I broke two bones, I've been able to have everything near me and been able to make myself as comfy as possible, which I'm worried will be a problem at home.
I'm not going to fight going home, I just can't stop crying. I know I need to go home because I have no reason to be here anymore and they need the bed.
Anyone else felt like this and what did you do to make it better?

I have been home for 2 days now and doubt they would do anything/take me anywhere now.

Hello Evamore...two years ago I went in for a big surgery while in there the surgeon cut my colon and put me in a colonoscopy bag. That's how I woke up. I was in the hospital for 7 days and an assisted nursing place for 7. They wanted me there for 30-60 days but they had no knowledge of how to assist me with the bag attachment. I wanted to go home but like you I had so..many fears how could I make it alone...I am single?? When I got home one minute at a time one day at a time things worked out. Will you have access to home health where they come to your house and help for a while. I had them come for a week and I let them go. But I could have had them for a long period. With 2 broken vertebrae I would think you might need help bathing, etc. just a thought. Try to keep your thoughts in the present that helps me. Good luck!!
