I know I haven't been around lately. For those who care.. I had been attending a day program at Havenwyck Psychiatric Hospital. I really enjoyed my time there and although I know it didn't meet all of my needs I really miss being there. I felt like people actually cared about me and found myself able to initiate physical contact with those few people. Very rare for me. Most importantly I felt safe.

Recently released to Easter Seals for follow up care. Assigned a Senior Case Manager and a psychiatrist I am somewhat comfortable with. I'm soon to be enrolled in individual and DBT therapy. When this will happen is uncertain.

Its hard to go from a day program seeing my Psychiatrist at least 3-4 times a week. I miss having my Psychiatric Care Specialist, Social Worker and Psychiatric Nurse around me daily. I feel alone now.

I'm highly medicated and yet I feel no different.

150mg Wellbutrin SR @9am - No AD effect
10mg Buspar @9am & 9pm - Um this stuff does something?
0.5mg Klonopin @ 9am & 1mg @ bedtime - Pointless, No effect.
0.5mg Ativan @ bedtime and as needed - I'm used to 1mg when needed
300mg Seroquel @ bedtime - Used to knock me out. Not anymore.

All in all im ok.. less stable than when i was in the day program but kinda ok. I've had a few 'episodes' both emotionally and some physically.

I'm lonely. I need more intensive care than outpatient can provide and my parents want me to file some disability thing but just asking me and handing me a paper is akin to doing nothing. I've filed two medicaid things with my care providers but haven't heard anything yet.

I dunno.
