I Finished The Outpatient Program

[trying2movefwd]

Today I completed a program through a mental health hospital. I started as a suicidal patient admitted into 24/7 care for about a week, then I enteted a two and a half week Partial Hospital program where I was there 6 days a week for 7 hours a day, then I entered the Intensive program where i was an outpatient for 3 days a week 3 hours at a time for 5 weeks. I learned alot of grounding techniques, mindfulness skills,cbt, and a very small amount of art therapy and dbt. I had what they call a graduation and revieved a coin. I made several friends who want to keep in touch. A big support in my life surprised me with a dozen roses. (She's like a Mom and guessed that how abused i had been i had never gotten a dozen roses ). She was right. It felt a little awkward, but she stated as many have that she doesn't think she would have survived all I have and is proud of me for trying to work through it all. I am starting to tear up which is really strange for me over something so thoughtful.

Good job. You have completed many weeks of work and should be proud. So glad you found supportive people and hope you stay in touch with them.

Why do compliments feel so uncomfortable? I know they should be welcomed and received. I'm ruining this aren't I? :/

Nope. You're recognizing they take some getting used to. :hug:

Nah. Compliments sting like a bitch. I remind myself I've had worse ;)
