(6,581 posts)No, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to, or possibly even be allowed to, continue to take care of my mother after this diagnosis and hospital. Frankly, I was concerned that family might think I was "dangerous" if they found out I was in a psych program.
The driving thing, that was in July, what I call my "month of rage" - as my therapist has said recently, manic behavior although not necessarily mania, since she is the one pushing the PTSD theory. I have an appointment with the psychiatrist Monday, I'll get her take in this.
I'm not really sure at this point what I really lost, versus what is just in my mind, as per my post below - we were cross-posting in real time, so it got confused.
As for the last one, I guess you are asking what being "the guy in the day program" measures about me, or at least says about me. Honestly, this morning, my succinct answer would have been " loser" but now, in light of some of my comments, I'm not sure, it brought me to where I am now, and I really like where I am as of right now, so I guess I need to rethink that one.
