Thank you all!! I am home now and feel ready to take on whatever I must in order to get through this difficult time in my life. I took advantage of all the therapy groups and 1:1 time with the nurses, and now I have some shiny new tools to help me cope better with life's slings and arrows.

Looking back over the past week, I realize that going IP was one of the smartest things I've ever done. I didn't realize how much I needed to be away from my life until I'd been in there a couple of days, and now it's like "why the hell was I so scared of it?" I got my meds adjusted---now I'm on a crapload of Lamictal as well as more Zyprexa---and feel MUCH better.

Thank you all for the support, good thoughts and prayers during my stay. I know they helped a great deal. God bless you!
