Lots of good ideas though! Who normally talks you down? Wife, kids, etc.? Or just medical professionals? I do not have much support IRL, so it is hard for me. I guess that's why I am asking.  |
Yes, that was me. No prior record, not even a speeding ticket. Somewhat respected doctor. They threw the book at me. For a car crash. Tried to put me in the penitentiary for 7 years. Even thouhg they knew I was totally psychotic. They didn't care. State hospital instead for 5. Super, super tragic.
So, be careful. Be really careful. I have a few IRL friends and tiny, tiny family circle. Basically, an ex who I am close with who has been through everything and knows all my stuff. But really, I rely heavily on PC now, as you guys really know me best day to day right now. And my pdoc, of course. He lets me text him, so, if it gets scary, I can reach him in like 5 minutes. He always gets right back wtih me. Very caring guy.
Sending you support and love, blue. I really care about you. You have helped me a lot. Just speak up when you think you might be symptomatic, that is the best advice anyone ever gave me. That way, people know and can support and help you. If it is every day, it is every day. It's not ao contest, just tell your truth, whatever that is.
Hugs!!
