I got out of bed at 6:00 this morning, started making cinnamon rolls for my family and made a pot of coffee for myself, and yet, paradoxically, I'm thinking about all the mistakes I've made in my life and wishing it were over.

I refuse to let these thoughts color my day. My family will be happy to have the pastries when they get up; I should be happy with them.

Is there a generic available?

Something is giving me slight tremors in my hands. I'm not sure if it's vraylar or depakote as I started them about the same time. Both have tremors as a possible side effect. I have cogentin that I can add if I want to. I guess I will. Yay for being on five meds.

I slept without trazadone last night but not until midnight so I can't do it during the week. I slept until ten am today! I couldn't believe it. And my son was up at 5:30am. I slept on the couch while he sat on top of me and played his iPad. I'm still tired but there's a lot of cleaning to be done.

Killing time at the library before leaving for my dad's wedding. Suppose to meet him at noon at the wedding location. Hope we have time to go through a rehearsal before the actual ceremony. The wedding is suppose to start at 1:30. Got my hair done earlier. I am actually in the wedding. Should be a fun day.

I'm sorry you're in such pain. When will they have the medication?

My daughter told me she had bad news and could I handle it at that time. First, for fall break she will be doing a project with school out of state and we won't see her. Second, she is going to be out of the country with school for most of winter break. She'll return late the 23rd. This weekend she's doing habitat for humanity.

It felt like a gut punch. I do want her to succeed and she's really working hard but really, can a parent see their child? Come on!

I started feeling better when WC talked about moment-to-moment decisions. I can do that and it eases the pain.

Last night didn't go very well. I managed to stay awake until bedtime, but I became very irritable. I threw one of my son's toy guns across the room. Then later I threw another one across the room and into the wall and broke it. I felt so bad, as he just bought it with his birthday money and has only had it 2 week or so. I guess I owe him one. In all fairness, he'd shot me in the face with a nerf dart. Then he joked our house needed padded walls because of all the s*** I throw and because I bang my head on walls. Maybe he's right...I feel awful. His crazy ***** mom...

This morning I had a good conversation on the phone with my mom. Now I am feeling obligated as always to clean, but I have no motivation to do much of it.

That's something to be proud of. Hang on to that.

I'm guessing, in fact, that if she has gotten involved with HfH that quickly, she's involved in other ways to make the world better. Is that why she's going to be away? Is she helping out with aid organisations in some way?

Yes, she is helping out aid organizations. Thank you for pointing that out to me. That really helps me by thinking that way. I will hang on to that.

Exhausted, but unable to nap. At least I can sit here and rest for the first time all week. I'm still struggling with some fear at night and get fixated on stuff easily that I probably shouldn't, but I am still hanging in there. Hugs to all.

I enjoy reading this thread. It gives me a peace that I felt when I was In Patient.
I was in and out of hospitals between Nov. 2000 and Jan. 2011. My longest stay was 5 months and I did several 2-3 month stays.

So here on this site we are people that could very well meet in a hospital.
It is safe there and we all understand each other. Just like here on PS

I personally found in IP that though the Docs, Nurses and Direct Care Staff helped immensely, my healing mostly took place interacting with other patients.

It is wonderful to identify with the posts here and see people supporting one another.

I dedicate this song to You All
