The previous thread went over 1000 posts and closed so I'm picking it up right where it ended.
(how is the food at your hospital?) It used to be bad but the last 2 times I've been in it was actually really good. They finally stopped rotating a 3 day menu with 2 choices each day and started giving a lot of the same choices daily. I was very glad. Have you spent a holiday IP?

I spent Thanksgiving two years ago at a partial/house place. Hated it.
Do you have a favorite psych med and are you still on it?

Adderall. Not on it anymore. Gives me strength and the worst reaction after 3 hrs.
You feel you need more meds or less.

Less. I don't think I need meds right now. I'm actively delusional so I'm still taking them mostly but it's a struggle to swallow them every time.
What is the worst med (bipolar or otherwise) you've ever experienced? |

I had to take pills for malaria years ago when I traveled to South Africa to reduce the risk.
How well do you cope being around family during the holidays?

My current hospitalisation is going well as can be. Nurses and doctors are awesome. Hate being trapped in here though but have escorted leave so off to the beach soon. On the past I have had bad hospitalisation where the staff were inattentive and unhelpful. Basics useless. This time they work well will my doc to help me get the best care. I am lucky.
Have you ever swum in the ocean?

I wouldn't say I do.
have you ever lied to a therapist |
#23
|

|

Yes, about the amount I was drinking. Only once though. have a very trusting relationship with my T but didn't want to deal with what I knew he would say as I didn't want to slow down my drinking - hypomania.
What is the worse reaction you have had from a T, about anything?
