I think in the latter case, I like to give it a little extra time to see what happens next, as long as the situation isn't clearly urgent. I have my prn (as needed) medications when needed. If things progress, then calling the psychiatrist is important. But in the former case, a healing process needs to be done. That can take those around us (or even us, ourselves) seeing that little changes won't always add up to emergency. Clouds don't always signal hurricane. Breezes don't always signal a tornado is about to come.



I hope the rest of your day will be pleasant and peaceful. Don't be too afraid to enjoy it.
Thank you! That does make sense and is reassuring. I do also have Klonapin as a prn. He won’t back down though. He woke up about 40 minutes ago and told me he could still tell. Idk? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
