The Wild Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Pages are Done! Who Likes Animals?

November 30, 2009 in Blogging, Health, Patient Advocacy, Therapy

Yes, this has taken me so, very long to do, and some of you have been waiting so, very long, as well! Or, maybe you’ve given up on me altogether! Well, no matter! I’ve finally done it, anyway!
It’s taken me all day, and into the night to do it, but it is absolute “Blog Relief!”

How I Triggered My Own PTSD

November 29, 2009 in Asperger's, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Medicine, Meds, PTSD, Seizures, Therapy

I’m in rather (quite?) a dissociative state now from yesterday/last night but I really want to write about this now.  Let’s see what I can do.  Apologies in advance for messiness, errors and severe “out-of-sens-ed-ness.”
Yesterday, it was my mother’s birthday.  She’s nuts.  Totally crazy.  So am I but at least I am dx’d and being [...]

Possibly post-”ick”tal?

November 24, 2009 in Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Seizures

I shouldn’t even be on baby MacBook right now, but I need to gripe.  What the HELL is wrong with me? I am completely, cognitively impaired, totally nauseous and dizzy, I have somewhat of a headache, and a bit of photophobia.  Anxious…  Maybe take a Valium? Tinnitus but that’s been a lifelong condition anyway.  Still, [...]

Why I Love My Pharmacy Even More

I am so lucky.  I seriously am.  I really think they have gone above and beyond “Customer Service,” this time.
Because I am still not working, I am on a stoopid guvmunt plan where I need to pay out of pocket for my meds.  As you can imagine, this is rather painful when you are on [...]

The Flashback That Didn’t Flash Back

November 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Medicine, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

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 [...]

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 [...]

I Am Still Here and I Am Alright

November 7, 2009 in Blogging, Health, Therapy

I am fine and I am merely taking a break from the “online me,” and paying some much needed attention to the “real life me.”  I realized that at least one reason I needed to do this, was because I was spending all day and all night tethered to baby MacBook. It was becoming extremely [...]

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 [...]
