    hi all

    thanks for all the hugs and thoughts. it really does mean a lot that people are thinking of me. still not great but felt i needed to say hi.

    i saw my pysch (cant spell the full word :o ) they have mentioned a few times at the possibility of aspergers. today they confirmed it along with the bipolar. still not getting a lot of support from them but they have upped my meds. all feels a bit odd. although i've known about the aspergers for some time, it still has come as a shock. on the other hand, i feel like all they want to do is hand out labels and meds and not offer any actual support.

    hubby is out of hospital. miserable though which is making things more strained. we are both at a friends otherwise i will be inside for murder :o sympathy isnt a strong point of mine :o i tried being at home with him and lasted not much more than an hour :o so brought laptop along with me.

    ds thinks this is all some great game. our friend has a ds who is 4 so itsl ike he has a big brother. so he is fine.

    sorry there is no OS on all of that but feel i needed to share it :o

    thanks again. it really has meant a lot.
