Since we've been in the hospital (Friday 5am) we have both been reality stable. I don't know if it's the med adjustment kicking in or just the hospital. You would think we would be more unstable given the circumstance but we're not. Any idea's is it the hospital, med adjustment or are we just in crisis mode? Do you think it'll come back 10 fold when we get home?

Maybe life stress is more of a reality when you're not in a 'controlled' environment?

the hospital was the most non threatening place I had ever been..I loved it and did not desire to leave. No worries no pressures

Maybe just being there has helped calm you all down for now, as your family seems to have a really great attitude towards hospitals and view them as a helpful place! It's a safe and stable location to you, which definitely helps. At home things were more volatile and unstable because none of you knew what to really expect from each other at any given moment. Things are a lot more predictable in a hospital!

A total change in environment and circumstances can shock the system. It can be a helpful reset button.

Different, controlled, safe environment

Yes, and feeling safe and secure lowers stress, and stress is a major factor in increasing
acidity of the fluids and tissues which is far more harmful than we often realize; that's
the major benefit of meditation, in my view: it relieves those conditions.

The meds are also doing their thing for you, too, I would imagine.

Hope you're feeling better today.

Best wishes on recovery.

we are in the Children's Hospital and I'm not the one minute so that's calming. my neighbor has decided to clean our house while we're gone. unfortunately going to the cafeteria, Miguel getting an Xbox controller, and me going to the patio meant all the annoying stuff come back but my husband is still doing good. so hopefully another 4 days will help but I've learned my lesson about leaving the room during normal daytime hours.

For me it's the social atmosphere. I get to wake and talk to people. Interact. I rarely get a chance to do this anymore. I live in a really urban place, I walk on the streets all the time and just feel like a ghost (except for everyone asking for money I do not have).

I think its the feeling of support that its provided by the staff and tbe people we interact with. It also helps that the staff makes sure you take your meds. Who hasnt forgotten to take them at least a couple of times?. I have.
