Hi all! Thanks for all the wonderful support. I am feeling better. But, last night was another night in seclusion. The noise from the unit triggers me--it is so loud with people always yelling. They are talking about maybe letting me go home tomorrow. My doctor said, being in the hospital helps some people, but not others. He thinks, as long as I am safe, I would do better at home. Mainly because of the noise on the unit. I think he is right--I will do better at home. I am back on my meds and I am not having so many intrusive thoughts of hurting myself. So, keep your fingers crossed for me--I really want to go home. 10 days is long enough on a psych ward...the scary part is that I am starting to like being in seclusion. It is the ONLY quiet place around here. Tonight, I may just ask to start out there so I don't have to have an incident that puts me there.

Well, my computer time is about up...I miss you all and I look forward to getting back here on a more regular basis.
