Please forgive me if I don't reply to you individually. I haven't got the energy right now; perhaps I can find enough beginning tomorrow for a few replies per day. I hope so.

Meantime, I'll brief you all:

I was denied admission to the psych hospital due to an insurance problem. I was tempted to say eff it, but the need for help was so strong in me that I had to act. I got in touch with a PHP* I attended after discharge from the hospital two years ago, and they gladly welcomed me back. I've been there since August 22, going four days per week (with Wednesdays off; I hate the off days).

The Program's psychiatrist is a damn sight better than my own. I've already begun to feel/see changes from the meds he prescribed for me. So have others.

Please forgive me if I don't make it back to DU real quickly. Then again, tomorrow is Wednesday, so I may get here.

Thank you all for your support, love, ideas, suggestions, good wishes, and everything else you offered. The mental health community is extraordinary.

* Partial hospitalization program
