my update

Things are still pretty blah for me. I ended up in the hospital from last thursday til monday. The entire time I was there, I had a severe headache and really couldn't concentrate on anything else (probably a good thing). Basically the help I got there was a joke! The staff pretty much stayed at the nurses station, secluded away from the patient areas. On Monday when I told them I wanted out, the dr. didn't want to let me out because I hadn't 'talked' to anyone, well duh, there was no one to talk to, gggrrrr. After much pleading and telling them that I really needed to get out to take care of my kids, they did let me out. I've been doing ok, you know, that kind of aaaaahhhh feeling you get after getting out (or maybe I'm the only one that feels that way), but today, I'm feeling more of the drain and pulling of the depression. I did get some of my meds changed and have an appt. to see the dr. next week. (not that I could totally be honest, because I can't end up back in the hospital). It is going to be a very expensive ordeal when all is said and done!!!! So frustrating that mental illness is supposed to be just like any physical illness BUT it's not treated the same, it costs more to have it taken care of, and you still hear, you have a choice about how you are going to feel and it's up to you to change how you feel, etc. Anyways, sorry, just thought I'd give a bit of an update as to what has been happening. Thanks for 'listening'/reading.

Hi Sandra,
Sandra,
Good to hear from you. Sorry about the hospital. I hope that you will speak up to get the help you need. I don't think it will necessarily land you back in the hospital. I hope that the med changes make a difference, I'm sure they haven't completely kicked in yet.
Hugs,
