Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm back in hospital due to paranoia, hallucinations, and general stress. Also, some thoughts of self-harm and suicide.
The doc just took me off Abilify today because my white blood cell count is low, and that's probably what's causing it. Because of this, he said I may become even more paranoid without the Abilify. I'm worried and guilty because this means my brother will have to take care of the house on his own. I know he's 16 and can do it, but I wish I was there to help him. I feel totally useless at this point.

I'm sorry to hear you're in the hospital, but I know that sometimes it can be the best thing. Try not to worry to much about the house and your brother, focus on yourself and getting better. If you work towards making enough progress you probably won't have to stay there long. Best of luck.

Let us know how you're doing - please focus on getting yourself better first. I commend you for being so selfless and worrying about your brother, when it's YOU that needs the help right now.

Sorry to hear this, I hope things get straightened out. I am a little jealous though, we were not allowed to use the computer or cell phone while in the hospital. Basically all we had was TV.

Thanks for your kind posts and words, everyone.
I am just going through the process of discussing my past hospital admissions with my current doctor, which might take a while! My mood has been up and down and every which way...my eating is out of whack because I have intrusive thoughts telling me that I'm fat and ugly and a slob. Because of this, I haven't been eating nearly enough...and this concerns me. I still see and hear things, not as often as when I was first admitted. So in that sense, things are improving. But my mood...ugh...I'd just like some stability for a change! Anyways, thanks again for your support everyone.
