Update

So it's been a bit since I last wrote, and there's good reason for that, last week I went back into the hospital to have my medications readjusted.

Here's the story: I was still feeling suicidal and not handling being alone, so I asked my husband to call my doctor to see about getting an earlier appointment to adjust my medications, because I felt like it's what I needed. My doctor didn't want to risk my suicidal ideation so she said that I would have to go back to the hospital, and I did. I spent 4 days there and got my medication worked out, I haven't had any suicidal thoughts since. I go back to my doctor tomorrow to get the rest of it worked out.

I also started working again this week, my managers are being very understanding and are letting me take it slow right now, including letting me work less hours while I get back into things. Which is really good, because I'm a bit overwhelmed at being back, exact reasons are eluding me, but I can't function on whole days just yet.

I feel that I'd be better working part time, but that's just not going to work right now due to money and my benefits. Though it would be wonderful to work part time and craft at home to eventually open my Etsy store.

Another thing, my therapist suggested for me to get a therapy dog, and I love the idea, though it's not something we could afford right now.

I'd love to hear you opinions on working part time instead of full time, and about therapy dogs. Do you feel full time is a lot for you? Do you see part time as a better option? Do you have experience with therapy dogs? If so, what breeds have you encountered?
