Well, I’m home again, thankfully I was not deemed a risk necessary for overnight monitoring.

I was largely terrified during the majority of it, but me being frightened in hospitals is far from new. I must say that I appreciate the new layout for the ER they have now. The one I was in five years ago for palpitations was more like a dropoff plaza for a war-zone/butcher shop. This one’s far more streamlined and modernized.

I was closely watched by staff and security and never let out of anyone’s sight due to the nature of my admittance, but it was apparent it was for my safety and well being, and it was all quite professional and kindly done. I was made to feel safe and protected in isolation until they could get me checked out. I had to wear the gunny sack for a while, but that was just until they evaluated me.

Long story short, looks like I’ll be seeing a psychiatrist in March. As of right now, I took some time out to cash checks, get some lunch and give myself a treat, and I have tomorrow off as well to get myself fully rested and readjusted. I have this mild headache behind my eyes like I’ve still got some crying left in me, but at least I have trained professionals ready to give me a hand now.

From this point on, it’s really just about making sure I’m looking forward.

Thanks to everyone who messaged and sent me words of support.
