Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the psych hospital for a very brief admission - to adjust my medications, and set me up with group & individual therapy. Just wanted to keep everyone updated on how I'm doing. Also, if anyone has some free hugs, I could certainly use them, thank you!
Thanks for this!

Glad to see you are in good hands

Free hugs???!!!! My hugs are chargeable!!!
So chargeable that you can recharge them as often as you like and reuse them whenever you need them
So here is a good supply:


Hope you are doing much better soon.

Thank you everyone for your hugs and support.

The soonest I may be able to leave the hospital is this upcoming Monday. My psych started me on 25mg of Zoloft (anyone ever tried this med?). Also, this upcoming Monday I'll be meeting with an anasthetic (sp?) person...you know, the one that puts people to sleep during operations? Because I was having ECT done before and it REALLY helped, except for a few days afterwards I was so sick, I had to stop. (The anasthetic made me very ill, unfortunately). So I guess we're going to meet to see if there's any way I can get ECT done without feeling extremely sick.

I guess that's all so far. I've met some nice people here, and I am also allowed to go outside for walks. Hope everyone is doing well!

Good luck (((((((((((((Melissa)))))))))))))))))) I really hope the anesthetist can come up with a plan that works for you

I take Zoloft, but I don't have Bi Polar. I have a bunch of Anxiety Disorders and some depression. The Zoloft helps a bit with that.

Anyhow, just wanted to leave you some more hugs!

I also met some really sweet people during each of my inpatient times, I can completely relate to the movie, Girl, Interrupted....such beautiful friendships, as each is finding their way in this sometimes dismal world...

Another small update...got re-diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as Bipolar Disorder. Not too sure how I feel about this right now.

Thanks for your support, everyone.

Aching for you, Melissa. As if BD isn't enough to cope with on its own. Then you get a brand new whammy to add to it.
