[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Things are moving in better directions. Im feeling better with some sleep and a lot of f*** it moments relating chores. Discharge is Sunday so there is enough time to do things I need to do.

Finally talked to a psychiatrist regarding the medication taper and her reasoning and communication was exactly what I needed to hear. DD is doing well, is not and has not been reactive or problematic. Aside from one panic attack on her 2nd night that subsided.

DH (stepdad) has been with me in every single moment to a degree that is made possible by how wonderful he is as well as his own experiences with his own kids who are now adults.

We have no real family here. We have a few good friends.  I have only this one child so my load is lighter in that regard. I started a new job recently that is part time 100% telecommute and very flexible so I am in a good place with that.

The one thing I am seeing very clearly is that I cannot rely on any of these professionals to provide definitive guidance. I have a few data points from a few people that are very valuable and I can take those and build on them to find the appropriate steps.

Right now its kind of focused on getting her to the next step, PHP, which will be there in Hagerstown and I will need to find a place to work on my laptop because its an hour away and I cant drive 4 hours per day. I will have to stay put.

I may rent a hotel room (most expensive option) to work by day and also have comfort to stretch out and veg out if needed.

I may need to find some other option if I cant afford that.

Thank you for your kind words of support.[/quote]
