Mental Health Day

Posted on | December 3, 2008 | 4 Comments

So after the excitement yesterday, I took a mental health day. Things were crazy at work all day yesterday, and then when I got the call to go and help deal with my brother, things just got way more intense, with the day ending in the emergency room. Like I said, the encounter with the police went well. Other good news is that he doesn’t have a brain tumor.

I’m really wondering about his fiancee. They were supposed to get married soon. She is just beside herself. I’m wondering if she will stick by him or not. I wonder if he will get better or not.

I can see why in the old days they thought people with schizophrenia were possessed. I would think that too if I didn’t know anything about the disorder. It is beyond weird.

This whole thing makes me even more concerned about Sky and his enjoyment of LSD, which is a known trigger for schizophrenia.

I wish I could have a mental health week. Thanksgiving was hell. I’m counting the days until Christmas break in the hopes that it will be much better.

Be Sociable, Share!

You need a break and I’m glad you’re taking one. Life is stressful indeed.

I can see why you’re worried about Sky. A few of my friends developed mental health problems through LSD use. Knowing the risks, I was always too scared to try it – something for which I’m truly grateful now.

All I can say is that, whatever happens, you’ll always be awesome.

I hope you get some much needed relaxation. Yesterday at lunch we were talking about taking days off. I said that an occasional day off when you hit the wall was a wise thing to do. Otherwise you would be tempted to strangle someone. A fellow teacher asked me when was the first time I didn’t know if I could face another day of teaching. I replied “Let’s see, when was my second day of teaching?”. Feel better soon.
