Thinking of her. Glad she is getting the help she needs.

I find the hospital experience to be very helpful if, at the very least, it does nothing more than lift away the everyday burdens of life (at my hospital they feed you, make your bed (I LOVE this), and at least seem to be able to put up with my tantrums and unfortunate ittermittant defensiveness particularly at the beginning of my stay. Just just knowing you're safe can feel so good, allowing enough space to heal.

I'm glad IDNK sought the help she felt she needed. Sending her good energy vibes!!!

Thank you for telling us about her entering the hospital. Hopefully, she will get the physical and emotional treatment that she needs. I've been worried about her for so long. She's been in my prayers for a long time and will continue to be there.
