welcome! the best thing about this site is that you will finally feel like you are NEVER ALONE. right after you get out of the hospital can be really rough. you sound like you have a really positive attitude about getting and staying healthy. this is a great place to find support. we ask one another literally anything. there's also the "anyone awake" thread where people just go to keep up with one another's lives and have off topic discussions. i hope you feel really good here and that you jump right in and ask questions, ask for support, make comments, etc. we're really glad you're here. peace- zinnia Well behaved women rarely make history.

Welcome Kellybell...glad you found us..there is lots of support here. Many of us have been hospitalized when we needed some help. I have bipolar disease and so does my 26 yr old son... Please join in or start a discussion, tell your story, or browse the Lounge section which has lots of activities. We are here for you. Comments made by me are from my own experience and they are my opinion alone, whose intent is only to share that opinion and not to give medical advice nor discourage from seeking medical help. Medicine is best left to the professionals that is what they do.

Hi, Kelly welcome to the group, this is a wonderful place to find support, understanding and friendship from those that know where you are and how you are feeling, like you I have been hospitalized, when I first came out, I felt very fragile, and that I could break apart at the first slight breeze it was tough, then I found this group and found friendship, caring and support... there are a lot of great people here.. Post away.. "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

We are here for you...most of us post every day...and you can also send PM's if you need to for a quicker response...just share what you are going through. You will find a lot of us have been through similar situations...and can really relate. I remember getting out of the hospital and having a tough time just organizing my daily routine. I was so used to someone telling me when to sleep and eat... Comments made by me are from my own experience and they are my opinion alone, whose intent is only to share that opinion and not to give medical advice nor discourage from seeking medical help.

"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)
