I think if your husband thought he'd be better off without you he would have left you. You have an illness and you've had a really rough year or two with that illness. You need a pdoc who listens to you and who is really good at treating you and a therapist and time for your body to adjust to some set of meds that isn't toppled by a pdoc change (why they think changing things they don't like abruptly is beyond me). And you need time to heal. You've been through so much and your body has been through so much.

You just have a lot to handle. I'm glad the babysitter is going to help out for a while.

Thanks rainbow! I've been so tired. I spent a lot of time in the hospital just sleeping.

I think you definitely need to get a good therapist who can help you figure out why you self sabotage so much. The right Meds will definitely help but you need to figure out what's going on and how you can get better. Hopefully Iop will be helpful and get you on the right track.

I wish I wasn't so ****ed up. This just sucks. I've been spending my time crying and sleeping.
--response Would you mind telling us your dx and what meds you are on. Someone might have some thoughts, but regardless, after you are out of the hospital, you might consider having a talk with your doc about a medication change. Hugs!
