The doctor who took me in was real nice.....didn\'t think I need to be admitted as of yet.. They gave me some ativan in the office to take for the paranoia and everything just calmed down and the mania went away for a while.....I am still feelin a bit drugged up as it is.....So if I mistype that\'s why.I am more relaxed about everything and including wanting to turn the tv screen off forever....all in all I am so glad I didn\'t get admitted. I was truthful I told them I was mildly suicidal and that I wanted to shut the tv screen and make it stop forever. The ER doctor doesn\'t think my self harm statement is big enough to worry about as of yet. All in All I am still free WHEE!

I\'m glad you are there for your dd\'s birthday. It sounds like you are doing all the right things for you and trying to take care of yourself which is very good. Many best wishes for a fantastic day for you and your daughter.

Thanks....Eve and everyone else. Yeah I don\'t know what I would have done without that dose of Ativan I dunno what I would have done. It took all my paranoia I had away and the paranoia was the biggest problem in my opinion......if it wasn\'t for the paranoia I wouldn\'t have wanted to shut the tv screen off forever. I just hate paranoia and the feelings of being scared.....Now I am better and I have to make an appointment with the pdoc. Maybe she will give me some ativan on a as needed basis.....

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
