On leave - quick update

I'm on leave from hospital at the moment, picking up some essentials that I forgot to bring (bad headspace whilst packing). Have to go back soon.

All is going OK. Wedding went well. Have been diagnosed bipolar and put on new meds. Spent the first few days drugged out of my mind however coping better with the dosages now. Feeling a little more stable although I do still spend a fair bit of time hiding under the desk ( the cupboards are too small!). Nurses are nice, doctors are nice, therapists are nice, hospital itself is nice (as far as hospitals go). Patients are (mostly) nice, and there are even some around my age too which is a welcome change.

Just thought I'd check in to let you know I'm still alive and kicking. Thinking of you all.

Thanks for the update and I am glad the wedding went well. Make the most of the time in hospital. Let the new meds kick in - bipolar is treatable. Sounds like you are getting the treatment you need.

Go Babz!!!
