Activism Change

My lovely weekend <snort>

Question:

Oh Claudia, I’m sorry.. please try to try to feel better? DarkBlue – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Yours truly was completely overwhelmed Friday morning.  Since I haven’t been much fun lately, a lot of folks aren’t talking to me. Needing a compassionate voice, I called the local crisis line. They’ve been quite helpful in the past. A large police officer showed up at my apartment door about 45 minutes later.  Three days of involuntary commitment in the local psych ward. The unit itself was OK.  I’d go back if I _need_ to be there. Good Part:  Meds (being tried on Zoloft again, PRN for Ativan) and short-term treatment in the partial program.  Goal is to transition to one-on-one therapy.  Cool doctor.  (Affording meds is a challenge. The ex said he would help until I can make other financial arrangements.  I’ll go fill my scrip. this evening and be broke.) Bad Part:  I wanted no part of any inpatient unit because I have too much business to attend to.  Spent all weekend lobbying to get out, finally succeeded about two hours ago. What Remains Missing:  Determining where I will find RL ongoing, non-professional support/friends. Have lots of Business Stuff I must catch up on.   Off to take a nice long bath, shave my legs (!), eat non-hospital food and the week or so of Foggy Head from med adjustment. Not sure how much I’ll be around.   Quite busy, still trying to find something to live for.

Response:

Hah there, is what I’d like to say, not having been online for a few days. That encounter for which I solicited your good vibes went… well, on the whole much better than it might have. I have an odd laid-back feeling of being part of something prearranged, wondering – but not very anxiously – how our roles are written, and if I, or we, manage to catch the cues. So you haven’t been much fun? Well, maybe you were asleep during transmission time. Guess I’ll scroll back and look. BTW, I have a new bike. ***

Well, I did all the black and white horror trips half a year ago. By now I can look at what’s happening (or not) with almost relaxed amusement. And unless I’m so bad a judge of character that some further education would be useful (write "never trust anyone" 1,000 more times, please), there will, at the very least, be no betrayals. (you’re welcome to serve me those words at an indeterminate time in the future, fries on the side) Good luck on your end. Perhaps we travel along similar paths. Bikes or not. ***

<snip Cues are unmistakable.  The key is in trying to be open enough to see them.   I have a feeling you will be fine.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!   Another victim… eh… convert!  :P  Start out slowly and soon you’ll love flying in the wind.   I finally found my cyclometer this morning.   Made my whole day.  Sign of a true addict, I guess.   Hope you find as much joy in bicycling as many ASD people have (some of them I also corrupted!) — chimera:  learned a lot, a lot to learn the difference between needing people and wanting them is a sense of self. van gogh’s ear’s poetry… http://home.tampabay.rr.com/vangoghsear

All in all it sounds like it might have been a very productive weekend for you.
