Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

How do you say goodbye to a group of people whom you've lived with during the past 115 days? How do you say goodbye to a group of people who have suffered from their personal demons alongside you for such a long period of time? How do you say goodbye to people -- the patients, staff and doctors -- who were really there for you and whom you wish to keep in your life as friends and allies, but cannot?

I guess I am going to find the answer to these questions today.

And then what happened?

How the heck did this nuthouse story get started in the first place?

Yay!

I'm glad to hear that you got your release papers... I know how anxiety producing it can be to be released on your own recognizance with little outside help, my last shrink did the same thing to me (though i wasnt in the nuthouse), and I ended up in a depressive cycle that lasted more than two years before i was able to get the help i needed.

We're here for you if you need us!

Give them a hug? And don't forget the help they gave you when you really needed it.

Good luck and if you need anything just holler!

Goodbyes are always difficult. However, you'll be home soon, and that will probably seem like a relief, especially once you have your parrots back with you.

Actually getting home will probably be a bit of a let down along with the upside. There will be an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. But you will get beyond all of this as you have everything else. You are now on the mending side and more in control of your environment.

I cannot say much beyond what everyone else has already said; I send you the best of wishes, and we (I do include myself in that "we") are here for you, and will do what we can to help you through the times when things might be a little lonesome. You will do great.
