You are most distinctly not alone here! I've had my own challenges which are very different from yours, but having been a nurse helps me have empathy for you and your situation. I even worked in a psych unit long ago.

I am glad your new meds seem to be working well. I'm glad too that you can see where you are. And I so agree about the need for many more advocates for mental health and not hoist the whole thing on the shoulders of over-worked social workers.

Keep on keepin' on!
