Adapting

We managed to get to the doctor again yesterday and she referred my wife to the psychiatrist, not sure how long that'll take though. The GP also prescribed some tranquilisers to help with the short term incres in anxiety levels.

The CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse) called later that day to confirm that the medication was appropriate and that the anxiety is expected to subside after a fortnight or so. We just need to get through that time.

Today I dropped my wife and children at a friends house on my way to work and picked them up on the way home.

My wife is fine in the company of others but cannot bear to be alone at the moment so we will have to adjust in the short term. It must be hellish for her living through this but I feel compelled to record it here so I can remember how hard it has been.
