The day began with absolute rage and maddening frustration. Personal stress, missed medications, and disrupted sleep all came together for a miserable night and morning. But now it’s happier. My wife, daughter, and our other family member are watching BigBrother. It’s the one thing we do together as a family. The show doesn’t even matter. It’s just spending time together.
Living with our ‘family member’ is going well so far (day 2). He’s pretty out of it and has significant memory loss, but is pleasant. The OD and ECT have taken their toll.
I’m not sure how things are going to go. There are no answers or guarantees as to how things will work out. It might be a positive outcome. Idk. I need to stay open to being positive and helpful even though I get frustrated.
It’s been a bipolar day from hell this morning to pleasantness this evening. I took my evening meds and pray for a good night’s sleep. I need it.
