I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. And I understand what you mean about your therapist. At least she's willing to work with you on alternatives to hospitalization. I sometimes feel with my therapist that his suggestions have more to do with his best interests than mine. I'm sure it's less worrying for him to have me in the hospital.
But it's not necessarily adversarial. Both of you want you to feel better. You might have different ideas of how to get there, but you have the same goal.
I know what she's proposing as an answer probably seems pitifully little in comparison to how you feel. And I certainly understand that you may feel too tired and discouraged to try again. But depression tends to put those thoughts in our heads, and make them seem so logical and sensible. I know you don't feel like fighting the depression yet again, but part of that is the depression. If that makes sense.
