Both my parents called today.  Nothing earth shattering to report from either phone call.  It was, however, the first time my mother has called me since I got out of the hospital.  I guess I can make the phone call next time.  My father is under the impression that the less time I spend at home, the better I will feel.  I do feel loads better lately, but still, spending my days away from home all the time, like he wants me to, would not make  me feel better.  In fact, because of my anxiety disorder, it might actually might make me feel worse.  Oh well, he, as usual, thinks he knows better than anyone and will not listen to what I am saying.  He is one of those that also thinks that a positive attitude is all I need to “get better”.  I wish it were that easy.  I have been looking for the easy solution since I started the recovery process and I have not found one yet.
