Soo, I had a pretty good conversation with.psychotherapist. he was fine. Didn’t seem he appreciated going away from Mom though. So I thought we might try therapy. Like together. Anyways, since I’m not as suicidal as I seem I’m being moved back to my old building. Probably tommorow, or at least I hope so. It could be Friday. But I hope for tomorrow since I could theoretically sign up for race I run each month and go home for a weekend. We will see. But now I have to ‘survive’ a few more hours here. And then I can start getting better again.

What a positive update, so glad to read it first thing this Wednesday morning!
Moving back to the old building is good news, hope it happens sooner than later, today or tomorrow, therapy with your mother, that is family therapy (if I understood correctly?) is a good idea, hopefully she will learn new ways to behave with you, ways that you will appreciate, and signing up for the monthly run race is an excellent idea.
These are things to look forward to as you practice patience, Post here anytime for as long as it is of some help to you.

February 19, 2019 at 10:38 am #280849JackoParticipantHello Anita, sorry for super late response. I’ve been on Tiny Buddha but not logged in. Well to be honest I’m kinda great. Tommorow I was supposed to fly to Madrid to see a friend but thanks to mother it got cancelled, because I would miss 4 days in hospital. Even though I’m probably being released next week and I’m feeling good for three weeks now. I have awesome room mates. It’s pretty fun here and I’m definitely gonna miss those guys. I’m still full of uncertainties with future and sometimes feeling exhausted from things I have to do, but I don’t feel like doing anything at all. I’m making huge progress in my model rocket project, but it’s still just modelling and theory, can’t wait to get out of here and start building. The Madrid made a bit sad but I bounced bad to good mood in day or two, doctors said that they expected me to break down from it, it was kinda harsh from them. Also I’m just realizing this post might be very weird, because I’m just writing, not thinking, but I won’t write it again. Spontaneouity at it’s best. I also signed up for half marathon two weeks from now, I don’t know if I can run it, but that’s the fun part, no? We will see .so in short, my future is bleak and pretty disastrous, but now I’m feeling happy. Like a kid with a new toy.

Good to read from you!
It is good that you’ve been feeling good for three weeks in the hospital, that you enjoy your roommates there, that you are making huge progress in your model rocket project and looking forward to start building it, that you signed up for the run and maybe you will attend it.
Question is how to make your time outside the hospital, when you are released better than it was before you got into the hospital: there is the building project, the run.. I wonder if there is a follow up program, an outpatient program where you can attend group therapy sessions back in the hospital after your release, see the same doctors or therapist?

February 21, 2019 at 3:46 am #281135JackoParticipantYeah. I hope I’ll be able to handle it well, but that’s far away. I cannot plan that. There is no outpatient program, but I still have my psychotherapist, so that’s a plus. I’ll have to find a better way how to handle thing with Mom, but we’ll see

Best to attend psychotherapy with your mother, having family therapy sessions instead of individual therapy sessions. A good therapist will teach your mother to no longer yell at you, never yell at you again and never talk or behave aggressively toward you.
She has to understand this Rule No 1- no yelling, no aggressive behavior toward you whatsoever.
Then the rest of the teaching comes in- how the two of you can communicate effectively, how to solve problems effectively, how to be assertive but not aggressive and how to treat each other respectfully.
