Mental Health Support

I am trying to take it one day at a time now. I get in trouble when I dwell on the what ifs. Today is looking much better. My cousin with the head injury was released today. He still doesn't remember what happened to him but the cat scan is clear and they released him.

I also talked to my other cousin yesterday. She is Bipolar and had to be hospitalized last week for a manic episode and we were all worried they released her too soon especially since she won't agree to take medicine. We were all scared for her and I got all emotional about it and just couldn't talk to her because I was afraid we would both cause each other more anxiety, and me yelling at her to take her meds wouldn't have been helpful.

She called yesterday and I was feeling stronger so I answered and we did okay. We talked about other things like her niece's baby shower. I still think she is in kind of an excited state and she still hasn't agreed to go back on medication but she's an adult and we all have to make our own decisions. I just have to accept that and not try to push the issue with her. My sister and her immediate family and her doctor, have already stressed to her the importance of the meds anyway, so she knows.

It felt better being able to talk to her again.

Thanks again!
