I want to know what to expect next. My partner was just released from the hospital and she is still upset with me for taking her there. But, I have seen a glimmer of the person I fell in love with and I am scared to feel hopeful.

Don't feel bad, she will be back to her old self again & one day appreciate what you did. You did it out of love & she'll understand.
I had to talk my partner into going into hospital, at the time I felt it was my only option & as hard as it was I know he saw it as me taking control when he had none.

Your partner will feel upset at you 'taking' her to hospital, my mum is always cross at the people who arrange to get hospital treatment for her.
But they do realise it was for the best.

You absolutely did the right thing and in no way should feel badly about it. She may feel angst toward you over it but hey that is her problem not yours.

The point is she is now getting the help she needs. From your bio and your journal it says that you have kids and she is being nicer already. Isn't that justification enough?

I would however caution that if she starts to feel well she may think she can just stop taking the meds. DO NOT let her.

    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...
