GRINS . . .
Turned out my therapy appointment was this morning, so I raced over to it this morning. Went well. She wants me to do a partial hospitalization/intesive outpatient program now...don't know how I feel about that. It's because of the suicidal thing the other night and the violent side of me lately. Not like me and she's worried this mixed is really bad and I'm not handling it well...I need everyday care right now she thinks.
I just did that like 2 months ago, and I feel like a failure having to go back again, even though it's for a different issue this time.
So that's what's going on with me. How are you my loves?
Sorry to hear about you having to do day services - not sure how I would handle that one either - thats a lie I know how I would handle it but trying to remain partially positive for your sake :) (thinking tho I just gave myself away lol xo)
I don't know....I guess if it helps, I'll be happy....but I feel like the days when I'm there and I'm manic or hypo, I'm going to be off the walls and not want to be couped up or told what to do. lol.
So I'm going to be going in there and they'll be like how would you rate your mood last night, and I'll say, a 2 and a 9....because it changes that much that quickly.
At least they didn't want to fully hospitalize me. That I can't handle right now.
See being totally manic all the time I couldnt do it but thats my hyper ass and they would soon see and I would drive them nuts and probably show me the door - its happened before with paper work that says and I quote please stabilize her some before sending her back - the pyschitrist just shakes his/her head and then we are done with that idea
Yeah full hospitilization sucks I agree
isn't that part of the point of those programs???
I'm just going to try and be positive (since I'm up right now, lol) and thinking it's going to be good....and not trying to be too bummed that it's going to mess up my tv routine. haha
LOL@tv routine now there is serious fucking with your day eh
The depressed part of me can just sleep during meal times, since I'm not hungry anyways. haha.
And I'm laughing at the fact that I wrote part manic...like people say they're part irish or part german, I wrote I'm part manic. hahaha
I've been on the phone trying to get blood test results faxed over to my pdocs office. fun fun fun. nothing like being put on hold by a couple of places.
