HOME

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.

Lucky you @Former-Member having been to Bora Bora - it looks like paradise.

@utopia - a bush collage sounds beautiful. Your description aroused the senses. You do deserve to be in that calm place.

Nice that you had a productive day - very impressive that you were able to contribute. Keep at it girl!!

And thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are doing.

Re: HOME

Oh dear @utopia .. I did my usual tin arse thing years ago in detox, had place to myself, became embarrassing a bit after couple of days , it was like staff outnumbered me, well they did. Just me and library, think there was a tv can't remember and getting served up fatty but yummy meals. Anyway, did go to psych ward a couple of times years later, but that was to visit an acquaintance.. bought her cake from onsite well commisery guess, and brought rollies as requested. Ha. Anyway, be strong. You will be out of there soon. Friend/aquaintance was involuntary re admission but they knew their way around do to speak. Depends what you want from it I guess re her tricks for getting out of there, but I imagine it can be helpful if you let it. I hope its not too bad and it serves a purpose for you @utopia I wish I was there with you in a way. .. go with the flow is the easiest way. It depends what you want. Hope you are safe, feel safe, and it leads to help/getting better.

Re: HOME

Today has been another good day. That's 2 in a row. If it stays like this over the weekend, I hope to go home on Tuesday. My psychiatrist says he will review me on Monday and see. He doesn't sound as positive as I do about going home next week.
Did a group on Memory today. Been meaning to do that class on other admissions and kept forgetting to go. Lol. But made it today.
Also did a group on finding balance in your life.
