I think I’m still a little high as I am taking very sedating meds but was wide awake all day at work (mind you the couple days off, I slept and slept—I think sleeping off some of the mania). My husband is driving me to and from work, I’m relying on the klonapin, and I’m still feeling some misplaced anxiety but aside from that, I think the combination of med changes and sleep knocked me down from what was starting to be s very ugly episode. My pdoc, who charges $150 a visit was out of the office and worked with me 100% from her cell phone. And she checked on me every day guys!!! Isn’t that amazing?! I am so blessed to have her! Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know I’m getting better! Thanks for all of your support as usual.

That's great that your pdoc worked with you like that. You really get what you pay for. I pay $200 a visit but my pdoc is always available to me. He has helped me over the cell phone many times.

So glad things are evening out for you. May you become completely stable soon. You are so strong to get through that episode. I’m proud of you.

Thank you guys! I was scheduled to take my kids to a Harlem Globetrotters game today alone (my son was color guard with his scouts) and I was terrified to go. Even my husband was asking me what I’d do if I freaked out! But, I felt I had been doing so much better (I went back to work on Wed and the other sub was out all week so it was like a circus a lot of the time and by the end of the week I was no longer being triggered or feeling really overwhelmed.) that I would chance it. My dad drove us downtown and picked us up so I didn’t have to worry about that. Then, everything went great! I even communicated with some other scout moms and I’m still a little intimidated by them because we just started about 3 months ago.

I'm glad you are doing better. I wish you'd always had this pdoc and not the scary incompetent guy who made you suffer so much.

Wow. I don't know what to say buy wow. How scary that he was practicing like that for so long. I hope he spends a long time in jail.
