Ryask. I'm so glad your boss was understanding and forgiving. It sounds like you've got a good ally, someone looking out for your best interest and someone who has a clue. Telling you to go to the hospital and call your mom (and sending your mom!) are all things that someone who has someone in their life suffering with a mental condition would know to do.

As an aside: my mother showed up and let herself into my house Sunday because I did not answer her text, "Home," Saturday. She was dead sure she was going to catch me and an ex of mine in bed. I was mildly irritated and then decided it was a symbol of how much she cared (ex is bad news and she knew I was going out with him and another friend Friday night).
