11. Thanks for the words

However, so far, I'm actually doing pretty bad. I was hospitalized a few weeks back and I feel like I'm about to go back again this Memorial Day weekend. I'm feeling extra crazy (I've started to see ghosts both during the day and night) and despite all of the treatment I'm receiving I still feel like crap.

I'm in a program at my local VA that I go to 5 days a week. Any given day I have between 2 and 4 psych appointments. The program is called PRRC and it stands for something along the lines of "psychosocial rehabilitation something or other". I get a free lunch every day I go and I actually enjoy the groups.

However I do get moments of clarity where things look positive and I actually am excited about the future and life. The one thing I need to constantly remind myself of is that feelings do pass and the negative ones are eventually replaced with positive ones.

Anyways I'm still around. I'm lurking and reading a lot but I just don't have anything to add to most conversations.

Thanks again.
