Hey AllLet me try again. I did it once and lost it. I went to the hospital on the 5th and got admitted on the mental health ward to detox off some meds.It took awhile to get the paperwork done but then I finally got on the ward and join in the therapy sessions. Supper was okay except no caffeine. Sessions were good and made some friends and even snack was good that we have every night at 9pm. 11pm was bedtime but no water for my cpap so I didn't get no sleep. I saw doctor next morning and we plan a treatment plan and went from there and so friday I might get out if I do good. Therapy sessions went good and meals were ok and every time I turn around I took meds. I got caffeine twice a day and we also had people come speak to us and I saw a chaplain. I talk about finances which was a big problem in our house. On wednesday was visit day and Ralph came in with Joey and we visit with the counselor and talk. I got to call Ralph every morning and then on Friday I got to go home. I first did decide not to go to Outpatient treatment but the doctor wanted to watch me with the new meds and being off the others so I started the outpatient treatment on the 12th. Which is going to treatment 9am til 330pm at the hospital Monday through Friday for about 3 to 5 weeks depending on how things go. Well things are going good except for the exhaustion every week. Its far enough from home that it hurts my legs. So i go 5 days a week. On Tuesday and Thursday I stay later for the support group which is in the same place so its a long day. I have to have extra money for gas and eats. So art therapy is my favorite time and I can't draw the therapist likes telling jokes and he laughs alot. All the therapist has been through therapy so they know how we feel and been through so that makes it easier for us to relate to them. We went to the house in the woods and had therapy and the college near by and it was cool. We learn all kinds of tools to deal with addiction and depression or whatever we needed to deal with.I talk about what my dad did and deaths of my friends. So now I got one more week and will probably graduate on friday. I've had a headache since wednesday but thats because of finances. Well thats about it. I've done good so far just feeling tired and need some rest. Hope to talk to you soon. Love ya all. Robin

Oh boy! Tons of things going on with you. So glad all this seems to be helping. I would have a headache too. LOL! However it could be a change in the medications. Keep well and thanks for the update on how you are doing. We all care!
Hon, those finances that keep putting all this pressure on you and your family aren\'t going to just go away unless you grab them by the horns and kick their asses. It\'s like the One day at a time prayer. You take one bill, you wipe it out/catch it up/what ever and then move on to the next. If you can\'t then you save your money dollar by dollar until you have enough to file bankruptcy. One way or the other you have to get rid of them or they will grow like a cancer until they overwhelm and destroy you. It took me 5 years to save $1500 to file bankruptcy but I did it and now I am debt free. I have a check card now. I spend what I have in my account. I pay my bills & if I have any left over, I splurge on myself. Otherwise I don\'t spend. No more credit cards, cash advance places or any other parasites that slowly but surely bleed you to death and laugh while they do it. You should have seen all the credit card offers I had after I filed bankruptcy. I would simply write \"fu\" on their letter and send it back to them at their expense. They don\'t send me anymore notices. Bottom line dear lady, if you don\'t do something, anything, this cancer will destroy you sooner or later.
With sincerity and a snug warm hug,
Breeze
your im my thoughts and prayers just take it 1 day at a time here if you ever need to talk

So glad you are doing well my friend. I understand about finances. With the economy so messed up I feel with you. Not getting enough sleep can hurt too. You take care and keep up the good work. :) Hugs
I\'m so sorry to hear that things are really tough....I know we are all in this boat with finances, pain...the whole nine yards. Hang in there kid....I recall the wise words of Erma Bombeck: Don\'t take life so seriously...it\'s not permanent! LOL (I know, bad joke) Really though, big hugs coming your way {{HUGS}}} Take care!
uP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUIND, WE AL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PATH DON\'T WE. i HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER NOW MY FRIEND. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. pLEASE KNOW YOU ARE LOVED HERE BY SO MANY.

ROBIN, I AM SO GLAD THAT THE IN HOSPITAL TREATMENT AND THE OUT PATIENTS IS WORKING WELL FOR YOU. I HOPE YOU CAN KEEP IT UP BY USING YOUR TOOLS AFTER THE SESSIONS END.
AS FOR FINANCES, WELL, THAT IS A TOUGH BURDEN TO BEAR. I HOPE THINGS WORK OUT. BE WELL. DEBBIE
