@Sapien, I hope that when you start the PHP that things will get easier. I imagine the revised dx is also something that needs to be processed. I totally know the Zyprexa hunger. Maybe you can get some tips on curbing it. Also, maybe once you're more stabilized the dose can be lowered. It worked absolutely wonders at curbing a psychotic mania I had many years ago. I did have significant side effects, so the hospital psychiatrist said I might keep it in mind for "emergency usage". I guess I will. It's so important to get stabilized.

@whatever2013, How wonderful that you had such a lovely day! Your hair sounds cool. Wish I could cook you a birthday meal. Whatever you'd want. Today I will joint a rabbit for the first time (it's already skinned). I watched a good video on that. I've eaten rabbit in the past, but never made a rabbit dish. Today will be the first time. Such meats are surprisingly inexpensive in Czech Republic, whereas in the US they are luxury meals.

I'm glad to have my husband home again. Also helpful was that my old psychiatrist in the US responded to an email I sent him. His response was supportive.

I need to contact my sister. Apparently a hurricane is hitting NY, NJ, and other areas on the coast. All in those areas, please stay safe! My siblings live on a high hill, but the downtown is vulnerable to flooding as it is along the Delaware River. My sister also lives by a creek. Power outages are common. Winds can get mighty destructive.
