How to politely get out of a holiday?

Many of you know I was an idiot and went off my meds a while ago. I feel like utter shit now, and my parents, with whom I am staying, are convinced that what is wrong with me is my DOCTOR, not the fact that I haven't had any Rozerem or Topomax in a month and have been on half doses of everything else.

Nobody sleeps all day and has a good life! I love that one.

Anyway, my mom is starting with the damn Thanksgiving Cheer and I just want to crawl under the piano like I did when things were too much for me when I was a kid.

Is depression a legitimate reason to hide from your entire freaky family coming over? Can I check OUT of here on the actual Day? (I can't go home yet, pdoc's orders) Where is there to hide? I know AA meetings go all day.

Say you're recovering from plastic surgery, say, a full body lift?

Do what makes you happy. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. They'll understand if you're not feeling well.
Don't feel guilty either. You just don't feel good.

I think we should have a big BP Thanksgiving! There will be the kids table, the grownups table, Drunk Uncle Hal who sits cynically in the corner, some OCD's freaking out over the table settings...

HAHAHA!

I get first dibs at the kid's table.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
