So I had to go in the hospital because of depression so severe I was having suicidal thoughts, hearing voices telling me to hurt or kill myself. I had been going to a PA and tdoc some distance from home, but I was unhappy with both of them, but thought I was more or less stuck with them. Since I went inpatient this time, I was able to get a pdoc who has a great reputation in the psychiatric field, and who I'd been trying to get for years. I've taken many "tools" away from my hospital stays. It's never pleasant, but if it keeps you alive and "restores" your sanity, it's well worth it!

Glad you're doing well. Will you be able to continue seeing this Pdoc?

Yes, the new pdoc is located in an area much closer to home than the other one. My beloved older sister used to worry about the long drive for me to see the former pdoc.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
