Hey Everybody!

I hope all’s well with the warriors. I’m sorry I’ve been antisocial… I think I’m being tested or something. I have good news and bad news. I’ll do the bad news first. I don’t want to end on a bad note…

Bad news: My boyfriend, who is bipolar, has gone into a very bad manic episode. To make a long story short, my car windshield is shattered and he’s now in a mental hospital. The cops had to take him away.

Good news: My blood levels have finally started to go down.
        T3 – from 268 to 214 (normal about 175, think)
        free T4 – from >6 to 4.1

I’m told that there is nothing more difficult than caring for someone with a mental illness. Or any illness for that matter. I feel like I’ve got a double whammy since I’m sick and I have to care for him. I’m so worried. He seems better. He’s been the hospital for 3 nights now. I miss him terribly and he’s unhappy there. I haven’t gotten any sleep since Thursday so my doctor gave me a sedative. He also prescribed prescription strength ibuprofen for chest pains that I have been experiencing in the past 3 weeks or so.

Will this ever end?!? I want to crawl into a cave and hibernate or something. I’m going to try and read the posts I missed tomorrow after I hopefully get some sleep. Xanax, here I come!

My love to all, Caroline
