hi guy. s,

sorry i havent been on in awhile. i finally saw the psychiatrist and she put me on a pill for mood disorder and increased my antipsychotic. she thinks that i should of been hospitalized last year when i first was going through this. shes very surprises that my therapist didnt tell me to go to one. the psychiatrist is incredible and she said i will be normal again. im very happy i found her. she kept me out of work longer so im out for another month. talk to you guys soon!

Hi Ashley, It's so good to hear that you have found a good psychiatrist! That is worth so much, who can treat you with the proper meds...and even if you do have a wobbly again she will be there to change things if needed.

As you say I'm sure you've still got some way to go, but such good news to hear you have better professional support

Take care

Ellie
