Well, it’s gotten to that point. I’ll be leaving for the hospital in a few minutes, so I wanted to let my readers know I’ll be off the grid for a few days. I am so depressed I can barely stand myself; it’s time for me to go. I’ll see you when I get back.
Going Inpatient
Published by bpnurse
I'm a retired registered nurse and writer who also happens to be street-rat crazy, if the DSM-IV.....oops, 5---is to be believed. I was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder at the age of 55, and am still sorting through the ashes of the flaming garbage pile that my life had become. Here, I'll share the lumps and bumps of a late-life journey toward sanity.... along with some rants, gripes, sour grapes and good old-fashioned whining from time to time. It's not easy being bipolar in a unipolar world; let's figure it out together. View more posts

I really wish I had been less depressed/following WP this last week so I could let you know I was thinking of you sooner. I know inpatient is no one’s favorite place to be, but I’m glad for you. As always, you help others with your honesty.

Prayers coming your way. May your visit strengthen you and help you cope. Don’t be harsh on yourself, anyone would buckle under that kind of pressure. Looking forward to when you get back.

Heard from BP via Facebook, she says things are going well (there is a tablet at the nurses’ station where she can check in; very limited – isn’t it great she gets to have that at least!)
