update & tiredness
I am getting back on track, I can actually FEEL the even-ness coming back. The Abilify keeps me so steady. The confusion is still there, not sure what happened the past 2 weeks. But, I can only work on that it is better again. I have been so confused. The Cymbalta works on the depression, VERY well. Have to assume the problems are on the way out of my life, once again. Well, as much as it can be? Not sure what all will come out of this hell. The loss of family & friends hurts. But, it has shown me WHO to trust. I am not sure the extra sleepiness is from the surgery, or just getting back on track! At night I wake up several times a night. But, once I am in bed with a soft light on I can usually fall right back to sleep. I had 1 time last night not knowing where I was & what I was doing. But after a while I realized the confusion. I've had to have my daughter hide the phone at night because of calling people. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. Everyone take care.
Keep going, its coming together and the people who matter will come back - nothing like a meltdown to sort the real friends from the rest I always say.
Extra sleepiness may be from surgery or the come down, the main thing is not over analysing things right now but just concentrating on who you are and where you are right now and letting yourself get better, do not try and push it just let it happen ok and lean on the support you have - your daughter sounds like one hell of a child and we should all be so lucky to have that support :)
You may find people you thought were gone are just scared or unsure how to come back, after things settle down it might surprise you what happens with some people - ive had people ring me up a year after my last meltdown and apologise for their reaction, they just did not know how to handle it.
The thing about mental illness is the scars are inside - people get scared by it and think they could go like that - unlike an accident survivor where the scars are visible.
Hang in there and keep going.
