[QUOTE="carlard, post: 180346, member: 5673"] Thank You ALL so very very much! The morning that I posted this, I was a total mess. I had to go to a WIC appointment, and I sobbed through it all, they were very disturbed lol. I was driving, and having a hard time of it, so I tried some deep breathing, nothing worked. I finally broke down and called my own gen practitioner, who asked me to come in that afternoon. Scripts for Celexa for my own depression (coupled with post partum and sleep deprivation, now THIS) and ativan to hold me over til the celexa kicks in...I managed to visit with difficult child that afternoon. He was very hyper, telling me all about what they did that day, that he had missed me, all about his roomate. It was a short visit, as we had been dong a re-intake before. Apparently they realized that I most likely had no recollection of what I had done the night before, and they just wanted to reclarify things. I spoke wit the soc worker at the partial, who said that he was handling referrals and such for me, and that difficult child would return to them as a "step down" when he was released. That we would discuss post-plans then, for now, I was just to know he was where he was supposed to be, in good hands, and that I needed to take this time to help myself. Again he mentioned this being true bipolar, and that he had never seen it quite this textbook (oh joy, that's so comforting!) husband and I went out to eat after that.
