My T terminated me last Friday. 'Terminated' is a horrible word, but it sounds and feels apt. I thought my whole world had fallen apart. I've been in hospital since then, just got out today. That was a shock to the system. I haven't been an inpatient for about 2 years. Everybody just sits around and waits to see their doctor and they either hope and pray for discharge, or for no discharge. My p-doc has been good to me, but he wants to pass me on to someone else. He is trying to get funding so I can go to Ashburn Hall which is a private psych hospital in the South Island. It is long term though, 6 months to 1 year. He reckons I can keep studying while I am there though, and I may be able to get tutoring work at Otago University. I feel like the bottom has fallen out of my world. I don't remember having felt this hollow and alone for a long time. But I am hanging in there, one day at a time.
