Laura, I am really sorry to hear that, and wishing you all the luck in the world.

I've been in a psych ward once, and partied hard in college. Never had a bad trip myself, but I've talked a lot of people down, and driven a couple to the hospital, having had to subdue them (with help) and get knives and such away from them. It's no fun at all, and really traumatic.

You need anything, doll, you got it.

They're not making me go for the longer test. They're just diagnosing me with GD. So now I have to go two more appointments to learn what to eat and how to test my blood sugar. Do not want. And of course, they can only do these things on Friday when I have my newly rescheduled Urology appointment.

Aw Laura. My heart aches for you. Give Brendon my love.

Oh Laura, so many hugs and much support! That sounds like a helluva weekend. I hope you find the help your son needs.

And hugs to you too, sj (unless you aren't the hugging sort, of course). Good thoughts to you and the ltc.

Thanks, I'll take all the hugs I can get. I know logically that this is not the end of the world, but it is just one too many ducks for this week. I seem to have reached the stage in my pregnancy where I cry at everything. I cancelled on going to visit friends today. I just can't deal with the drive.

Oh I so sympathize with the weepiness! I was a mess when I was pregnant. Cried all the time. The whole GD thing really wasn't bad though, just watching my diet. Annoying, but not really burdensome.

I found all my emotions were heightened during pregnancy, so weepier, also angrier, but also sometimes more elated too.

Thanks, Laura. One of my aunt's is going to take me to my appointments on Friday. Mom is still in FL and TCG can't really take any more time off right now. I know that I should just suck it up and go alone, but I could really use the support right now.

I haven't found this to be the case. Most of my happiness is tempered by the fact that my brain won't allow myself to believe that anything is going to just go right or smoothly.

I'm sorry about your hell weekend, Laura.

sj, I hope that the diagnosis means you'll be able to move forward with more plans and fewer appointments.

My weekend involved some house painting and watching spring come to NC, which were both pleasant. (The former because money, and the latter because spring.)
