    Default just out of hospital psych ward

    I was in for a week this time coming off prednisone, before then I had been isolating for a few months not reaching out of my discomfort. My diagnosis has changed to schizo-affective disorder, a combination of thought disorder and mood disorder.I have stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine and it helps a little so far.We believe my son may have aspergers or some spectrum disorder, and caring for him is a challenge, so with my mental disabilities and his behavior, sometimes I feel like I will lose my mind. Sometimes just day to day activity can be too much for me, I have a prescription PRN that I am loathe to take except when nothing else will help.(xanax or valium). He was very good today and we went to the library where they had a program with baby bunnies for kids three and up( he turned three in january)and he was so gentle and loving with the bunnies, he said "I love you bunny" it was very cute.A priceless human moment.I think I am about all over the place in this post, and I apologize I have trouble organizing my thoughts.I have had some trials these past few years and frugality has taken the back burner for a time...I hope I can begin again on a good path,take care of my family etc...thanks for this forum where I could vent-
