Hey y'all. Thanks for your replies.

My self-harm ended up escalating pretty badly and as a result I am now inpatient in a medical hospital. It's uncertain when I will be released, as that largely depends on my body's healing. However, after speaking with the social worker and psychiatry team here at the hospital, we all decided PHP or IOP would be a good option for extra support once I am out of the hospital. They left the choice up to me which one I felt was best.

I talked to a friend I've been in treatment with at a certain hospital and she told me IOP is actually all virtual now. PHP is in person, but it's divided into two groups of six and everyone wears masks. I like the idea that IOP is virtual, but after my recent episode landing myself in the hospital I wonder if seeing other people and having closer contact would be beneficial.

I still don't know if I would be placed in DBT. Probably. The self-harm is a very Borderline thing to do and they'll probably see that more than anything else. But I guess I can talk to them about it. I'm just still not sure what to do.
