I've been gone for about 1-3 weeks and it was mostly because of the hospital.
I was admitted because of... The reason most people get admitted and I'm grateful that I did. I feel like I made more progress there than in a year of going to my psychiatrist.
I got diagnosed with severe depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and of course ASD.
I got put on a mood stabilizer too. It's been helping me quite a bit as well.

Yep. Definitely congratulations!

Have you got a timetable for going back to school? Will you be homeschooled?

Good for you that you made progress! I have never been hospitalized but I have the same diagnoses in a form, Bipolar II with severe depression, severe anxiety (don’t know what its labeled as on my charts, and ASD. I was on a mood stabilizer and an anti-depressant/anxiety medication for years and stopped taking both 1yr and 4 months ago. Wishing you luck for the rest of your trials in life.

I actually just got expelled from my charter school so I'll probably find out what I'll do tomorrow. We're supposed to have a meeting.
