Newsy I had to enroll in an intensive outpatient program myself last year due to severe depression and self harm. They put me in the dual diagnosis program because I was using Delta-8 to try to cope, because weed isn’t legal here. But I was in denial with how much the delta was contributing to my depression. I’ve been in and out of individual therapy for years but found the group therapy the most helpful. I thought it would drag but it really didn’t. I had to do 6 assignments and attend 6 support groups all of which could be online. It is actually amazing how many different kinds of support groups are online.

I also felt ashamed and like it was rock bottom. I was moved from my social work position to an administrative role during social work month. It sucked seeing my colleagues going to visits and knowing that their workload increased because of me. But I am very lucky to have had a supportive boss and coworkers-who’ve known me for over 10 years.

The first few sessions I just basically cried and wasn’t able to really participate. But as the delta left my system and I started trying some of the coping skills it slowly got better. Today I’m doing much better. I still have my moments but thankfully not as bad as it has been. Feb 28th will be one full year since I last self harmed.

It sucks to go through, but looking back I am really grateful I was able to do it.
