Glatt, a "day hospital" is a day centre which provides structure, activities, support and sometimes treatment to those who attend. The ones I've known of are only open weekdays. You are right, Sundae's plan is a good one.

It's only "a day centre", but even without structured programs it's a sanctuary with amenities. That should make it easier to get the apartment squared away in the evening, a little at a time, knowing in the morning the sanctuary is there.
Of course the danger is going back to the apartment and hiding under a blanket until morning, knowing the sanctuary is there.

That's pretty much what I've been doing the last few days, not so much because this is good or easier, but because to start with they recommend being here all day. By the time I get home it's cold and dark and I'm not up to anything.

I'm "off" tomorrow, and the morning is free for me to make a start - I have a follow up at the Dental Hospital tomorrow afternoon, which will eat up pretty much the whole afternoon, what with buses and all. Once I'm not spending all day here I will be able to start making a difference back at the flat. I expect the impact I make will run in tandem with an improvement in my mental health.

It took over two hours to get here this morning and although I don't expect the journey home to be quite so long (as none of it will be during rush hour) I doubt it will be any faster than 1.5 hours at any point. Rather than cutting down my daily hours when I am advised they feel I'm ready to attend less, I think I will cut down on the days I attend. Which will mean daylight hours in Otley for cleaning, chores and walking.

It's up to me to improve my living conditions, and I will. It's all for my own benefit after all.

No no no, that attitude is too easy to transition into, fuck it, it doesn't hurt anyone else so why bother.

Keep in mind the Queen might stop in for a cuppa, or somebody really important like Limey or Dana or your Mom.
Now square that shit away so you don't get caught unprepared.
