I've been thinking recently that I should go into a hospital for my depression, although it wouldn't gain me anything other than temporary respite. My job is so stressful, and the demands of positive changes in my life takes such a toll when there's no return in my mood to help compensate. Fortunately I'm so out of the habit of drinking that it hasn't been more than an occasional temptation, but I don't seem able to sustain any other beneficial behavior. We live in a far from perfect society, and any attempts to seek in-patient care would only create a whole host of different problems, not the least of which financial ones.
