Another six days in the hospital...

It's been a trip. That's the best way to describe it. I went back to work for a night and a half. Then it became very, very clear that I was only working because I wanted to, and not because I was in any way healthy enough for it. Just spent six very long days under 24 observation (144 hour observation technically). I'm safe to go home, but not yet in any condition to work. I'm not up to giving a full account of the week right now. I'm just still alive, let's put it that way.

Hang in there buddy.

Take one thing at a time. It's alright, man.

You just got through something that's more challenging than a lot of people have ever had to face, and you made it through to the other side. You're stronger than you think, man.

Thanks for the updates, KK.

Maybe, but others have still suffered as bad or worse. One young girl in my ward had several stitches up her forearm arm like a tattoo. It looked less cutting to relieve pain and more like destroying the arm. There was the guy I told you about that lost his damn mind in there. Two others had young children waiting for them to get home.

On the sixth day of treatment my nurse gave to me
six pills of Prozac
five pills of Zoloft
four pills of Valium
three pills of Xanax
two shot of Vodka
and an enema to finish me off!

3868144 Others suffering worse doesn't make you a bad person to feel like you're suffering, too.

Sorry, I'm really not trying to be Mr. Contrarian or anything. I just don't want you to feel like a bad person just because you're hurting and you feel like you shouldn't be because another person has it worse or anything like that. That's basically THE line of thinking that made me try to kill myself last year, but it just isn't true.

Sorry for blabbing. I hope you feel better, KK.

It's a difficult mind set to break. You're not the first to say this. Maybe I'll figure it out in time. I won't see a steady psychiatrist for another 4 months because Free Healthcare doesn't mean Good Healthcare.
