Much can depend on the reason for inpatient care. If one seeks a refuge for a while, it is cheaper to find a motel with a good TV for a week.

If your doctor wants to run some tests or observe you in isolation from your environment in order to assess change in medication, it might be needed.

Sometimes a brutal week can be useful if it helps one develop survival skills that will help navigate future brutal weeks.

If you feel like you are not safe on your own, seeking more intensive care might help a lot. Otherwise maybe having a friend or relative check in regularly on you could help you ground yourself if you wan to be a bit more independant.

It's up to you! You're the best one to know what kind of care you need!~✿
