Apparently the average speech pattern is about 55 words per minute or so.
And I was admitted at 155 words per minute or so.
That gives you a big idea of what's what in my dysfunction.
To try to sum some stuff.
I went back to work and broke again.
I went into inpatient this time and it may have been a great thing since they feel that my previous diagnosis and medication was way NO BUENO. Like, do not give these meds to these people bc it will make things worse. And I'd been on them for about 8 years.
So, new diagnosis with new medication regime. But that's a hopeful thing in my opinion.
I'm currently in outpatient learning coping skills etc.
So, Hi!

They should announce a sequel to Ground Hog Day and just re-release the original.

So I attended a Mental Health First Aid training today. Really interesting. They went through how to spot signs and symptoms that people are struggling, getting worse, or in crisis. They also talked about how to listen, how to use nonjudgmental language, how to encourage people, and how to connect people to professional help. Came back with lots.of resources and a lot of food for thought.
They offer US classes here:

They do offer classes internationally, too.

@testamonk @Minholkin I think kindness costs a little bit. Nothing is truly free. But kindness is worth it, and pays off not just for you, but for everyone. It's a good investment, and a solid choice. And it's a lot less expensive than cruelty or apathy.

The numbing agent has finally worn off from the dental procedure I had this morning. Thank goodness as I've not eaten and I'm hungry!
I'll leave you with this picture of an early sunrise my friend, Tom took recently. TTFN 💜

So, it turns out that when you talk to someone who doesn't disbelieve or think that you are exaggerating about your past and all that it entails, it feels good.
Who knew?! Ok. People in therapy etc knew but whatever. 😆
And I'm off to my first psychiatric assessment. Yeah!

So, this is a downspout on one of the buildings on our walk home. I don't see many details like this on newer connections which makes sense but also makes boring.
