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.

@Zoe7 I'm doing better thanks.

Psychiatrist had sharp words with me on Monday. Saying I can't be fixed if I keep drinking. I was really annoyed with him. But after a sleep, I could see that he was right.

So I have an appointment with my old psychologist who is an ex drug and alcohol counsellor. I'll ask him to help me stop drinking.

So a bit of an eye opener.

That is huge @utopia - maybe just the kick in the bum you needed. It won't fix everything overnight but is a step in the right direction. Really proud of you for even considering giving up drinking as I know how hard it hsa been on you in the past. Keep me updated how the appointment goes Hon
