[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 509995, member: 84"] I'm so glad she agreed to the few days in hospital. I know at the moment it just seems like a terrifying place to her. (and let's be honest, it probably is to some degree) Nichole freaked out after she agreed to be admitted and actually got into the unit as well. It takes a bit of adjustment. But they were staffed with really great people and after that first night pretty much kept her busy enough that she stopped worrying about the others. But it did make Nichole want help more than ever, so that she would not be as severe as some of the kids in there. Nichole worked with the psychiatric doctor and therapists and such and they worked out a treatment plan (she already had a diagnosis when she went in) and got her medications straightened out, which for her was a large part of the issue. Postpartum depression coupled with no medications (they took her off during the pregnancy/ toxic to the baby) was a no win combination. I'm sure your daughter is iffy about it now, but this was a smart move on her part. It can take months to get into a good psychiatrist and therapist, which means waiting months for medications that can help with the depression. That she has been hospitalized will speed this process up to an immediate appoints and going home with medications to help. The first couple of days after Nichole's admission, this is what she had to focus on. It's so hard watching your child go through this process. But she is safe where she is, getting the help she needs. Support her, but don't forget to take some time out for yourself too. The stress and worry can be overwhelming. If you're not up to snuff, then it's going to be harder for you to help her. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you've done everything right so far. You're doing a good job. Keeping you and your daughter in my prayers. (((((hugs)))))) [/QUOTE]
