The Flashback That Didn’t Flash Back

That Post Title is actually a lie.  If you’re not already familiar with PTSD, or you don’t have it, flashbacks always do “Flash Back” in one form or another.  That’s just the nature of PTSD.  You never know when flashbacks will hit, what they’ll be like, what to expect…  But I’ll bet you my last [...]

Day Five 98/03/20 1140hrs
Today has been pretty relaxed which is probably just as well.  After reading (interactive comic) with M. and D., I didn’t feel like going to bed.  It was only 2200hrs.  I meandered back down to the bar for a [...]

I Am Still Here and I Am Not

November 9, 2009 in ADD, Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Literary, Patient Advocacy, Self Medication, Therapy, You Decide

I figured that would be a suitable Post Title on the heels of the last? I don’t know what the hell I’m doing right now.  Falling back into the trap of staring at baby MacBook all day? I haven’t hit my night yet and I haven’t opened any apps…so?
Why am I making this Post? Because [...]

A New MP3 and My Story Behind It

November 2, 2009 in Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, MP3 of the Moment, You Decide

First, this is somewhat long but I don’t want that to turn you off.  I want that to turn you on.  If you can listen to it, I guarantee it will affect you in some way! *laughing*
I don’t know if any of you have heard of Christy Doran.  Irish born, extremely talented guitarist, who, when [...]

More Search Term Madness

Again, it has been a while but I’m in desperate need of Post Fodder at the moment.  Also, I might be in desperate need of “Search Term Fodder,” but as always, let’s give it a go!
To begin with, I don’t know if we have a lot of people looking up at the sky, who have [...]

fish-thoughts

October 30, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Fiction is Stranger Than Life, Health, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Literary, PTSD, Therapy, You Decide

It seems I’ve taken to lying in my bed these nights, with too many things running through my head.  I can not stop them.  They are like demented fish in a shallow pool, with half of their tails missing, and gills on either only their left or right sides.  If I owned a gun (which [...]

I Received a Very Special Privilege and Honour Today

October 29, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Blogroll, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Medicine, Migraines, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Self Medication, Therapy, You Decide

This morning I found out that I was considered for an award, and received an “Honorary Mention” from Psych Central. If you haven’t heard of them, they are pretty awesome. They have been recognized and received accolades themselves. I should have blogrolled them ages ago, but PA can be a little bit [...]

Ending the Cycle of Abuse

October 26, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

I have discussed this topic with my sister who is five years my senior.  In fact, we have discussed it many times.  We both have a complete: “The buck stops here!” attitude about it, actually.  However, there are multiple, marked and varied factors at play for both of us.
Even though we both suffered the same [...]

Peaceful, post-ictal MP3

October 25, 2009 in Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, MP3 of the Moment, Medicine, Neat Neuro Stuff, Religion, Seizures, You Decide

These women are so amazing.  I heard of them recently and was not sure how they would compare with my blessed Tallis Scholars (an a capella en semble that sings Scared Music.)  The Tallis Scholars are from Oxford, England.  These ladies are based in New York City.  Let me tell you, they are quite like [...]

BAD, BAD Seizure!

Alright, let’s move back a bit to the beginning of my day, prior to when I exploded last night.  Something was desperately wrong with me.  I felt like I was permanently living in a state of Orthostatic Hypotension.  I was so dizzy, felt so faint, and like you could knock me over by simply blowing [...]
