I spoke too soon
Apparently I was wrong when I said that my brother was staying out of the hospital. He was actually back in there at the time, just my parents hadn’t told me yet. He’s still there. It is not going very well. He says some of the nurses are mean. And there’s not anything I can do to help; I can’t even visit because I’m way too far away. I don’t really want to write about it any more right now. I did have a good weekend, by the way.

UGH! Sorry about your brother Polly. It’s got to be very anxiety-provoking and triggering to watch- even from a distance,and maybe it’s worse that way. Just do what you need to do to keep yourself balanced and functioning. He’ll have to figure out how to do that on his own just like the rest of us.Yup, there are a lot of mean psych nurses…better to do whatever it takes to stay out of their hands.
I’m glad you were able to get away and enjoy your weekend.

Polly,
So sorry to hear about your brother. That must be so difficult for you. Just know that your fellow bipolar bloggers are thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way…and his way too.

Oh no! I’m sorry about your brother. I hope they can treat him and he can emerge back into the world soon. And I hope you are doing okay in the meantime.

Polly, I’m sorry to hear that. I echo the thoughts of those above. I can only hope that he leaves the hospital soon - it’s certainly a depressing place.
