PTSD

27 10 2007

my shrink says that I suffer from a for of PTSD. 

he says that when people suffer a life threatening illness that alters their life substantially, PTSD is possible……….he prescribed an antidepressant that also works on anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. 

OCD can come along with the PTSD, it’s there to keep the person preoccupied as to not linger on their loss…….makes sense.

I began the meds on Thursday……….fingers crossed…..

Rosie O’Donnell

14 10 2007

her new book came out, I think I’ll get it…….the part about “the view” a small after though, an extension….but that’s all the media cares about….they pick the part they want to focus on, like with everything nowadays…Britney needs to read the book, she needs a celebrity detox……..i saw her trying to order taco bell….swarms of parasites surround her car everywhere she goes…….is this what we crave now, a pic of Britney ordering taco bell? maybe we’re the parasites too……





New Chapter?

14 10 2007

well, the new neurologist will take me on as a patient, so now I can get myself to my appointments….much better…I’m going to see a psychiatrist to see if he can help with the emotional side effects of my condition…..as far as the voice, still no real solution….i guess I’ll have to just accept my limitations….although, he did say that if the psychiatrist can relieve my anxiety, maybe the voice will calm down as well.

through the years that I’ve been dealing with this I’ve learned not to get excited about possibilities………just accept what does or doesn’t happen.





New Beginings

7 10 2007

tomorrow I start another chapter in my recovery, hopefully.  I’ve made the painful decision to leave my current neurologist and begin to see another.  I’m not leaving because of anything to do with his treatment, it’s been great, but due ti logistical reasons.   now a new set of eyes will look at me and hopefully be able to give me a new perspective.

 I’m hoping that he will have a suggestion on easing my vocal strain……that is my biggest frustration.  not be understood….being looked at as if I’m not all there….the pity smile and condescending look…..I hate that.

maybe they can also give me suggestions on reeling in my emotions….my scar in the brain leaves my emotions right on the tipping point….on the edge……it takes little to push them over…….

hopefully, tomorrow will be the start of a better chapter for me.
