So I'm being admitted for an undetermined amount of time. We'll until I'm stable which seems to be only when I'm nit facing stress. Also lithium levels are low. I wil have my phone and I'm trying to decide if I want my chromebook. Maybe. Don't know what Internet access will be like.

Maybe bring it anyway. It's better that you be as comfortable as possible.

I added it to the list of things for Will to bring me. Since they aren't letting me leave. I've officially been admitted to the hospital answered their questions no I don't want clergy to visit sure put me in the directory and now I'm waiting trying not to let the battery run down until I can get a charger from Will and trying not to be bored out of my mind. At least I'm not panicking.

My darlings, there are so many here facing stress, loss, illness, I wish I had better words, more to give.

askye, I'm glad you're not panicking, and thank you for checking in. You are not a burden.

There's a post on my Tumblr about in-patient psych stuff (someone asked me for advice, I asked the larger hive mind), and the responses have a lot of good info about what to expect, what you can bring with you, and so on. Do you want me to look it up for you?

askye, here is some of the info from the Tumblr folks on in-patient stays:

to anon (2/3 oops): pack a bag with your comfiest clothes. sweatpants, leggings, pjs, sweaters, etc. nothing with strings on it. bring shoes that dont have laces or slippers. (otherwise they’ll take your shoelaces.) they usually have washers so you dont have to bring too much. you can bring books and a stuffed animal and your own soap and shampoo. no perfume or makeup. no jewelry, leave it at home. if you have piercings they may make you take them out. some may not let you have some of the stuff.

askye, please don't stop checking in with us, we want to know how you're doing and you're never ever a burden.

Connie, if only there was something that could make it better. I'm sorry.

I barely slept at all last night. I've about had enough of this insomnia crap, Brain, cut it out.

askye, I'm glad you are safe .

Connie, I sorry. I know it doesn't help, but I'm going to say it anyway

askye, I'm glad you're getting the help you need, and that you know how to find it. Please keep letting us know how you're doing.

I just had an interview that I think went really well. And it seems like a school where I'd be happy teaching. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one. And I've also got one more interview with another school on Wednesday.

All the best, askye. I'm so glad you're getting the help you need.
