Good news! I made it through my sisters birthday. Kind of hid behind my camera but I think I got some good shots. I did get to talk to some family members and the family grapevine is still working well with all knowing I had been in hospital. Most knew it was for Bipolar and some even knew I have been having ECT treatments. Amazingly all were very supportive and curious. It was a short conversation but I was touched nonetheless.

Hardly slept last night though. It is 5 am and I hit the sack at 1 am. Feeling the depression lifting too. Wins all round really. Great to be able to write a positive post.
