I am really struggling with my mental health atm. I have recently come out of an inpatient stay, but my wife was struggling and needed me home, so no option to extend it.
i am feeling very shaky, and not wanting to be around people.

Hi @Citcat and welcome to the forums.
Hearing that you're in a really difficult situation right now, having to cut your own stay short to be there for your wife. Do you have any follow-up supports, or any other supports in general that you've been able to lean on during this time?
And what's the best way that the forums community can be there for you during this?

Hi @Citcat
Glad you’re here; but so sorry to hear you’re not the best right now.
Going home before you’re ready must’ve been so hard, and it makes total sense that you might feel shaky and not ready to be around people.
Do you get that opportunity at home? Or is it a people-y household?
Thinking of you.
