Well, today has been the first day. Don't know how long I will be here, but it went by very quickly. I was pulled out of every class to see people--nurses, therapists, etc. I was very anxious all night, and most of the day. I drifted off several times, because I didn't color or do anything to keep me grounded...but it didn't look like the people running the groups noticed...and I got a bit of good news...complic8d is going to be in the hospital inpatient, so she and I are actually going to meet! It will be so much different having someone I can actually relate to. Not that it is difficult, but right now there are few that are DID there, so having her there will help. Somehow I made it through the first day...anxiety very high, and I couldn't help keeping a foot moving as I didn't want to get up and just keep walking or disturb the class in any way...
tomorrow will be much more demanding on the psyche...thanks for being interested...and thank you for your support...
