So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

I am feeling much better now @utopia - I have no idea what I had - maybe the "Everyone in Australia has it" bug - sniffles - that wasn't bad - but aching all over and as tired as -
Yes - I took good care of myself - I do not enjoy sitting down and waiting for something to pass - but there are far worse things as we all know
So - you are going home this week - I really hope it works out for you - you have been in hospital for a long time this time - I hope this was long enough
It's a puzzle about your ADs - but the doctors seem to think they know what they are doing - but wow - you really have had a hard time. I'm sorry about your falling off the wagon briefly but this is what happens - you can always start again
So I am thinking of you and wow - I am adding to the cocky collection - this seems to be some kind of therapy - for my benefit I think - but it's fun
I really like this one - it's cute
All the best Utopia - I have no idea what it's like for you but I really care about you

I hope the change in meds does you good @utopia. It seems to be a tricky balance.
