[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you can’t telework. They will take your phone. And your French horn. And your shoelaces. No, your children won’t be allowed to visit. Maybe your husband, but not whenever he wants. Have you spoken with your therapist and psychiatrist about your current symptoms? Do they think you should be hospitalized? Bipolar disorder is difficult but treatable if people follow a treatment plan. Are you doing that? Realistically if you are hoping to continue participating in your regular life, you should consider things like PHP or IOP. Please ask your actual providers for help understanding what level of mental healthcare you need. When I worked in the DMV, Georgetown Hospital had a decent PHP program for adults so maybe start there. If they think you need to be inpatient, they will make sure you get there. [/quote] That’s not necessarily true about her kids visiting. Everyone needs to stop giving uniformed advice to OP. [/quote]
