MIA...

You may have been wondering where I've been. Well the last couple of days I've been in the hospital. I suffer from bipolar disorder and have been dealing with severe depression for quite some time now. It got really bad last week and on Sunday, after talking to my mom and my family dr. we thought it was best for me to spend some time in the hospital.

I'm not very happy with psychiatrist lately, so we've decided to try to get me a new one. We've also decided to do some changes with my medications and whatever else we can think of that could turn this all around for me. Unforetunately this is not an exact science so it's a lot of try this, try that...see if this will work, or that will work. The big bummer is that most meds take 3-6 weeks to start working. And before we can start me on new meds we have to get me off the old meds, and you are supposed to gradually go off those meds, so that could take a month or two....unless you do it in the hospital where they can do it alot faster since they can watch you to make sure you don't have seizures, heart problems or any other such fun stuff!

So chances are I will be spending at least a few more days in the hospital if not more. Hopefully though after all is said and done, I will finally start to feel better...for more than a week or two at a time.

So if you don't hear from me for a few days it's because I don't have internet in the hospital, but I will try to keep you all posted as much as possible, and as soon as I'm feeling better I'll be back to creating soon I hope!
