Nigel, I won't comment on your family behaviour wise vs you since I don't know them but will try to be constructive in my reply. Firstly could a compromise be reached where they or a family member lend you for a local (NYC) hotel room for the two weeks- nothing overly expensive but somewhere like a budget type that puts you reasonably back in the neighbourhood while you sort things out? As to your relations with your family perhaps the arms length approach may be best for all parties for the present, especially if you can find help for the aforementioned idea from elsewhere. Had you given any thought to income during and after the initial two weeks, given that IIRC your savings were depleted and I don't know if you have any other source of money? Give me a PM if you want to discuss anything too personal in threads if you like mate, and I hope it works out. Stay positive, you are still beating your illness and on your own terms Best as always, Guigs It just means I am now working on a Plan C. It gets ridiculous when they are so blinded by their own biases that they can't even see all my improvements. So when I come up with healthy discharge plans that require very little in return from them, that I get blocked - it's a very dangerous precedent. I'm now toying with the idea of doing Intensive Outpatient within the same facility. They have a few location options around the San Francisco area in order for me to do this continuum of care, which is nice. It will also help build things more gradually than what I was originally planning on doing. At the other facility I was at, my therapist kept reminding me of my internal resources, harping on that no one can take away my intelligence. And she's right. So far, I've had to adapt my plans and this is just a continuation of that. But my pessimism says: I'm only one person. I have limited resources. And eventually my luck and ability to find a solution will eventually run out.....And that's where the panic comes from. But, as always, just keep moving forward. INNIT. ~Nigel Just keep believing in yourself!

Good luck mate. I've had friends go through the same scenario, and all have come out the otherside 500x better than they went into.
Keep up your great attitude and fantastic sense of humour (seriously I have spent half of my day off looking through your posts in the Play Pen and wetting myself)!!

One of your problems, and not sure you'll agree or understand is: you spend too much time around females, Beady’s Here Now. Not healthy to spend too much time around females, just as it's not healthy to spend too much time around only males. Godzilla bless.

As of today, I’ve been at this current facility for one month. For a variety of reasons, this is by far the best treatment I’ve been to (and I’ve been all over).
Every day has its various struggles. But every day also has its choices. So grateful to be here.

It’s official, I’m now withdrawn from Queen Mary University of London. Now I bide my time before I re-apply. I have all the pieces ready, so now it’s just a test of personal patience. I give it about one month before I submit the application. guigsysEstring

For insurance purposes, I am now IOP (Intensive Outpatien) status but the CEO is allowing me to stay at PHP (Partial Hospitalization) through Xmas without billing me for PHP (other than the housing costs). Very generous of him. So after Xmas I’ll be transferring to a new location in San Francisco, but under the same treatment center, doing programming only for 5 days/week at 4 hours/day. I.e, progress and freedom. Struggles still occur but onwards nonetheless. guigsysEstring

I’m transitioning to IOP level of care, on my way now actually. I am terrible when it comes to transitions and changes. And this is the level of care where it all fell apart during those 4 months over this past summer. But hopefully it being a different treatment center and a small client base (max around 10 people I believe) will help make it a different experience.
Still wouldn’t surprise me if I would need to bump up a level of care again within a couple months but let’s see.
A wild card is seeing how I react to whatever QMUL decides next month after I submit my application in 2 weeks.
