That&#8217;s the part I am working on now. It&#8217;s a lot to process, and I am trying my best to get through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never said this would be easy. It&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s hard to deal with the fact that I became so ill and not once did I seek treatment until it was forced upon me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder about this. I know why I don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s because it never helps. It&#8217;s a miserable thing to go through. It&#8217;s depersonalizing to someone who is already suffering enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been in the hospital so many times over my life that I have learned everything they want to teach me in groups. That&#8217;s useless, and I never want to attend them anyway. So, what&#8217;s the use of me even being in there? I can have my meds adjusted at home, with the help of my doctor, where I am more comfortable anyway. Why go through that horrible experience of being inpatient when I am already going through enough? What&#8217;s the use? I just don&#8217;t get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can understand that I need to be in the hospital when I am a clear and present danger to myself or someone else. That&#8217;s completely understandable. But what about the other times?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a waste of insurance money. My family would love it if I ran to the hospital every time something happened involving me that made them uncomfortable. They would feel better, even though going inpatient is hell on me. i have told them many times that they could benefit from a support group for families of the mentally ill. They don&#8217;t want to do that anymore than I want to go to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, I am trying to explain how things are without giving away any content from my book. That&#8217;s difficult itself. I would love to be able to explain things to you, but it&#8217;s not possible at this moment in time. I promise that later we will discuss the book in great detail. That will be after it&#8217;s done and hopefully published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book is coming along nicely. I am very proud of the effort I am putting forth. It&#8217;s been a struggle, but it will all be worth it in the end. Writing this book is helping me cope with everything that happened and help to put it behind me. I need closure, so I can go on with my life Hopefully, I will get come clarity from this all, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am happy you have come along for the ride! I appreciate your interest in what I am up to here and what I have going on. Feel free to follow along. That&#8217;s the whole point of this blog. You&#8217;re also welcome to join the community and become involved. I hope that grows over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely, R. Kline<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PS. I haven&#8217;t been doing very well lately, as I am working through this. There&#8217;s been a lot in life that is weighing me down. A lot has happened, even though I don&#8217;t want to be so open about that here. All I will say is that I am now off work because of my disability, and I will be for some time yet in the future. I won&#8217;t be returning to my last job. I will be finding a new one. Bear with me. I am doing the best I can. Thanks again for your support! Feel free to comment or like this post.
