Signing Off

After my last post, it seemed that things were looking up. But it turns out things started getting worse again on the Paxil. Finally, on May 30, things were so bad that I left the house and attempted to commit suicide by overdosing on an entire bottle of sleeping pills, a large bottle of Nyquil and half a bottle of alchohol. Miraculously I awoke the next morning but was severely confused and incapacitated. Friends found me and rushed me to the hospital. A week later I entered a psychiatric hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, but I made another attempt on my life after the first few days. Finally, after a new diagnosis (bipolar disorder, not depression) and new medication, I made some progress and was released after 12 days.

However, the task of dropping back into family life with the twins and my daughter is yet another challenge. For this reason, I have decided to let this blog go for good. There are some immense challenges ahead of me, and taking care of my sanity is going to require a lot of attention.
