Hi all! I am back from inpatient. I spent 5 days there, which is a miracle. I missed my son and husband soooooo much!!!

Even though I didn't want to go at the time I definitely needed it. I was in a mixed state and having horrible suicidal thoughts. I'm much better now - i feel like the medication might be working to stabilize me. The racing/suicidal thoughts have stopped for the moment.

I now have a dx of bipolar 1 (because of the mixed state and because the mania last time drove me to believe I had magical powers). They upped the Abilify to 10mgs and decreased the Celexa to 10mgs with the intention of taking me off of it soon. I also got a PRN script for Vistaril for anxiety.

I am sooooo much better and looking forward to getting back into work and the forums here!

Thanks for everyone's support, as always.

Happy for you. That was a short stay, I usually have to stay a little longer but I don't go in often.
