[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 350902, member: 7083"] Right now, I just feel like I can't breathe - like I'm hyperventilating. I had about 2 hours sleep last night, was not really expecting her to be admitted today and have so much to do. Can't take a klonopin because I didn't sleep enough and still have to get her stuff together and go back down there. Will take one when I get home though, for sure. I had to go to Kohl's and get her new jammies, bras without underwire, and a sweater/sweatshirt without a metal zipper. Then I went to the grocery store to get some organic milk and her vegetarian "meat" products. The psychiatric hospital said they would do that, but I wanted to get her something to start with and that I know she'll eat. easy child's DF was at work and she asked to leave 2 hours early so she could go with me for these things. I asked easy child if he could get off work early to take me back and that's not going to happen. difficult child 2's mom, who difficult child *really* likes is going with me, though. Figured I need a buffer and I think it will be good for difficult child. She will meet with psychiatrist every day, as well as social worker. They will have lots of individual and group therapy, recreation and school work. I called the school and asked for assignments (just what the teachers think is important because she's too far behind to get completely caught up) and I'll take those to her tomorrow. I am welcome to call psychiatrist and/or social worker whenever I want. difficult child was ticked at the recreation because it's gym and she doesn't like sports. She asked if she had to participate and they told her that the more she participates in everything, the sooner she'll get to come home. My head is spinning right now. Hopefully tonight I can catch my breath. I feel guilty because I haven't cried or gotten upset. Shouldn't I be doing that? I don't know if I'm too tired, too overwhelmed, or too relieved - or all of the above. Of course, I did enough crying last night about everything. Anyway, thanks for listening and for the support. I feel like a chipmunk on speed. I don't even want to know what my BiPolar (BP) or heart rate is. That reminds me...I forgot my medications today. Sigh....... [/QUOTE]
