Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Got to appointment early. So went next door to the hospital and caught up with some friends in the smoko courtyard. Then I saw my psych.
He's taking me off one med - says it's making me sleepy. And I have to have another med - as I'm not that anxious anymore and a side effect is tiredness.
Wants me to stop sleeping / napping in the day time and reduce my night time sleep to no more than 9 hours. Don't see how I can just not sleep when I'm tired.
Slept on the train to Melbourne. Am ready to fall asleep on the train now. We leave in 3 minutes.
Chest pain. He showed me last test was normal range. Who knows.

How long will it take for the current meds to leave your system @utopia ?

Guessing you are going to need a transition phase ......
