Hugs, SheHulk. I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. I agree with Chihiro, that they shouldn't have just left you in a room without someone checking on your frequently if you're on a psych hold. And it sucks that your insurance isn't willing to pay. Is there any way to get your T involved to talk to them? (Them being insurance co., but also maybe the psych hospital). You deserve better than the help you're getting.

Okay, I've made plans to go skiing later this week so that takes care of a few days (I'm going to stay in an AirBnB for two nights by myself). And today I'm going to a book sale and having lunch with a friend.
My best friend locally (we met when we were both inpatient almost two years ago) isn't doing so well. I'm not sure what happened but she said she's just feeling really awful. I'm starting to get really worried about her. She texted me back on Thanksgiving and she lives with her fiancé so she can't be too bad off... but I miss her and I'm worried about her. I've been texting her gifs every day of silly things or hugs; trying to let her have space if she wants it but letting her know I'm here if she needs anything. |

Our hospital has "sitters" for anyone admitted to the ER on a psych hold - and any psych patients that have to go to the medical floor to help keep everyone safe.
That's terrible that they left you alone. I hope you get the help you need and start to feel better. |

Today’s haul! I also put a bunch of books on hold at the library that looked interesting but I didn’t feel the need to buy.

ward for a couple days after an attempt. She slept almost the entire time. I didn't like her.

It is quiet. I’m trying to look at my computer and phone less on the weekends but haven’t been successful. My husband just looks at me out of the corner of his eye sitting on the other end of the couch probably wondering what I’m always reading.
I had a Low key day. Ran some errands, picked up some food and came back home. I just took some Valerian Root capsules to try and calm my nerves. When I made an appointment with the Pdoc, once she told me she can’t see my until January 9th, I emailed her back asking if anything over the counter is effective for relieving the level of anxiety I have. She never answered so I’m taking that as a no. 5HTP doesn’t do anything. Drinking less caffeine isn’t helping-either. Now I’m trying Valerian Root Capsules. Maybe I’ll follow up the capsules with a shot a rum. That should do it. Though it won’t be a option on work days. |

Funny, I was just talking to my T yesterday about Valerian root. Let me know if it helps. I've been drinking some Yogi Tea "Calm" tea before bed which includes Valerian, and it seems to be helping some (though I had some really weird/unsettling dreams last night...) But I imagine taking an actual capsule would contain much more than a tea would. I imagine a shot of rum would help as well

Funny you’re talking about valerian. PetSmart gives out free samples of pet food the first Saturday of the month, and today I got catnip and valerian treats for new cat, it’s called Meowijuana.

New cat suggests catnip if valerian doesn’t work.

Agreed that's pretty funny, @@! I think I've actually seen catnip as an ingredient in some teas, so I guess it theoretically does *something* for humans.

Pretty low-key day for me as well. Think I'm still processing some of yesterday's extra session with Dr. T to discuss drinking. There's quite a bit to unpack from that session. I'll probably write it up in the next day or two. Felt like a very connected one in terms of the therapeutic relationship as well, with Dr. T saying things like how it's his responsibility to help me with this, that it's something we're working through together. And his describing in detail the ritual of making tea when I mentioned trying the Calm tea lately as an alternative to alcohol for relaxation (his ritual was a bit more elaborate than mine...)
