My pdoc has agreed to discharge me tomorrow. Only eighteen more hours to go until I get to leave this hospital (not that I am counting, lol). Excited but also a bit cautious as it will be a big transition after being IP for eight weeks.

The plan is to take another week off work so I can settle myself in and go back late next week. I will stay at my parents until then at least so I have company as I live alone. I am looking forward to walks on the beach, playing guitar, socialising and resting. I will still have to continue my studies but that is ok. So thankful the depression has lifted and the mania has not returned. Going to comply with my meds and do all I can to maintain recovery. I never want to go through the vicious rapid cycling I have been experiencing for years again. I am hopeful this recent treatment will help me achieve that goal – well at least for a year or two.
