My mother tries to be understanding but really can't be. I had a long winter break (I'm a teacher) so by the end I was staying up later because I had adjusted my sleep schedule. Of course she noticed and said something. Now I have to make sure I'm in my room by 10pm to avoid raising suspicion.

Also my mother believes my condition is caused by the devil possessing me. I was watching Harry potter over the break and she freaked out and said that I was watching Harry potter every time before my three hospital stays and that it's a gateway to letting evil into my life. She said "mark my words, you'll be back in the hospital in no time". Obviously I proved her wrong. The last time I had to go to the hospital I asked her to take me so my husbands car wouldn't be left unattended in the city. She took me to her church first and the pastor told me if I just accept Jesus as my savior the devil will leave and my brain will be healed.

So I don't talk to her about this anymore.

My husband is a lot of "did you take your meds" when I get grouchy. He expects a miracle with them. We had a huge fight this morning. Yes I'm taking it and it's not helping so shut up.
