Default CHP5305 and the bumps in the road to completion

I took pictures of the car today. Its in the detail shop getting the new paint wetsanded and buffed. Its looking ugly with the dull wetsanded finish. When they get done it then goes itno the shop that installs the decals. I haven't been doing much to the car and have been struggling. I caught a stomach flu and took a presription medicine calleed Compazine to try to settle the nausea. Well it turns out I took WAY too much and had massive side effects which came in the nightmare of extreme anxiety and muscle fatigue. I literally felt like I was losing my mind and was terrified. I went to the hospital and was given Benadryl to counter act the reaction and it worked. During the Flu i went off of my normal anti-depressant (see what Police work does to you?-antidepressants..) for over 8 days. This sent me in the most terrifiying and deepest depression I have ever experienced. I talked to my family Dr who is 80+ years old a WWII vet and one of the best guys ever. He says I will pull through this and even calls me on the phone. He said the flu, stopping my antidepressant and the overdose of Compazine was "the perfect storm" of events to send me into oblivion and shocked my system. He gave me .5 mg Ativan pills to help with the anxiety while I get back on track.

I am back on the antidepressant for the last 7-9 days now and each day things seem to improve. I have never prayed so much in my life.Im far from back to normal, but im hopefuly on my way. Depression is a monster and during the darkest hours of it I could have cared less about the Mustang and would have traded it for normalcy in a minute. Today I was at the shop taking pictures so I guess thats a good sign. This car will be done and ready for the spring summer shows. I know im giving to much information here but it helps to talk about it right now. I will pull through this but If you asked me this 3 days ago I would have siad I was done.
