When is your brother coming home?

It helps me to think of things I can do to stay in control. Setting small daily goals, using crisis lines if it is the only choice, knowing I can and will (the positivity helps) get myself to a hospital if I have to, taking my meds, etc. Coloring or drawing what I can't say helps me.

I'm not perfect at this. Last year when my mom was away I nearly wound up IP. But I've made it through a lot of her vacations now and know it only lasts so many days. It's not usually when my therapist is away but it's still 12 days until I see him and she'll be home in 10 days.

It still sucks though
