Hi everyone. I went IP for 9 days as a last resort to get my meds straightened out.

I feel so much better. They added an anti depressant to the mix and some Seroquel to help me sleep.

When I was going home yesterday, one of the staff commented on my turn-around and said that I should apply for a job on the ward.

I am not so sure about that, but I appreciated the comment and I will miss some of the amazing staff who helped me out with humor when I needed it most.

It was a crummy place, but the people working there have such big hearts that I will truly miss some of them. (At the same time, I hope I never see them again, at least in that context.)

Anyway, I want to thank everyone who sent their wishes! I am back and feeling very good.

I can't remember the last time I spent a whole week feeling stable and not questioning every little fluctuation or emotion.

I am truly in a good place right now. I hope that I can offer support to anyone here who needs it right now by saying, advocate for yourself. Advocate hard. Don't give up and if you have to go to the last resort, it is your hospital, not the big S. It is worth fixing and sometimes you need a "tweak" or tune up.
