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.

I called and left a message for my psychiatrist. Told him I'm not coming in for tomorrow's appointment. Can't do the drive. Just getting more and more anxious thinking about it.

Re: HOME

Good idea @utopia -

If you don't feel upto the drive then it is better not too - is your psychiatrist in Melbourne? That would be a long trip if you are feeling iffy

The weather has been bad - I had the heater on for a few days - even left it on all night one night - and it's summer on Saturday - darn - I haven't worked a way to send the weather back yet -

Thinking of you today

💓 @utopia .... my day was chaos .....

Hugs Hon .... hearing you with your son, but @soul is right .... most do become decent adults .... just a really crappy deal helping them to get there .....

Re: HOME

@Faith-and-Hope - there must be something between chaos and nothing. That's what I want.

My sons school concert is on tonight. I always enjoy these nights, but it's so hard to find the energy to get into the shower.

4 years ago, I never would have imagined that something as simple as a shower, could be so hard

Re: HOME

Get your backside (and the rest of you) in that shower @utopia and get to the concert. You will love it when you get there my beautiful cocky friend

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

Showered and dressed. Then spent 3 hours 15 minutes listening to the same songs I hear twice a year for the last 4 years.

Was good to see how the students have grown musically.

Am tired now and ready for bed.

Hope your day was good @Zoe7

Re: HOME

School concerts are part of the deal.

@utopia

I went to movies with son and wore low high heels. He even told me I was silly cos I was too slow for him. I have not worn heels for so long.
