I am back out of the hospital now. I went in to the hospital on July 5 and got out on August 1st. I spent almost a month there. It was a good experience. I had a great doctor that realized yes I am depressed but that the thoughts I were having are obessessions and had me do a bunch of testing and now I have 6 diagnoses. I am bipolar 2, ADHD, Avoidant Personality disorder, Dependent personality disoder, OCD and Borderline. I have quit the psychatrist that put me in the hospital and switched to the one that was treating me in the hospital. The med combo I am on is working quite well and I am hoping that since I am not on an SSRI that it will last longer than most SSRI's I've been on. I was put on Anafranil. He told me that is a very good antidepressant and helps get rid of obesessive thoughts. While I was in the hospital a memory I had forgotten was brought to the surface by another paitent and I had to leave because I was gettng worse insteado of better. I am doing much better now that I am home and out of that environment.

Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers I felt while gettng better.

Jbug

Thanks guys!!!

I am feeling much better and was able to into Walmart again today but didn't stay long. I wanted to see Rex and give him a hug. I got a hug back and so am getting ready to go to the Missouri Walmart because its tax free weekend and I need to get a new jumpdrive. The hospital lost my keys and my jumpdrive was on it. Luckily they aren't expensive.

I forgot to tell you that I had a very good talk with my dad while I was in the hospital. He came to see my by himself one Saturday. We had a good talk and starting next week he will be showing me his system for paying bills. I am excited. I told him a few things I had been wanting to tell him and even cried. I also was able to tell him the other day that I am not going to quit smoking right now some day but not right now. I am becoming more assertive and that is something I really need to learn how to do.
