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 [...]
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 [...]
NO! I DID NOT DRINK! But oh, did I want to! I was so anxious leaving J.’s that I had to take a Valium/Diazepam as I thought I was going to throw up all over the place! After being so sick before, with the tonic-clonic in early September and staying there for a week, I [...]
No, I’m serious. This is actually worthy of “Breaking News!”
My body is weird. At least from the inside. I think it’s alright from the outside? *shrug* Still, I don’t eat. This can be traced back to a variety of reasons. However, in the immediate, it has tended to work “backwards” in a certain way regarding [...]
I can barely string enough words together to be coherent (well, maybe…slowly…and my typing sure is slow!) I guess that’s what happens when half of your brain is still lying all around one of your best friend’s apartment after your worst meltdown ever.
I wasn’t going to post anything but some Valium has given me energy [...]
After yesterday’s and last night’s excursion through an inexplicable form of mental illness torture, I did actually get a migraine. Now, I’m not going to rant and complain and go all wingy, as in the last few posts prior to this one. No, I have settled down somewhat. I am now experiencing some other inexplicable [...]
Well, the ADD is all pervasive. It never leaves. I could wake up with another Migraine From Hell tomorrow but we’ll have to wait for that?
So, within one bloody, fucking day, we’ve (I’ve?) managed to go through all of all my diagnoses.
This is some kind of record. No. It is a record. This makes no [...]
I’m sure I’ve felt this scared at some point in my life before. Perhaps? Maybe? I don’t know. Perhaps not. All I know is that I am very, very scared right now. I was chatting with a couple of bloggers last night, and emailed another one this morning who have gotten various bits of this [...]
You Are Not Sick…You Are Well…You Are Not Sick…You Are Well…
As Far As Meds Tonight:
Another Maxalt/Rizatriptan (On The Heels Of Just Getting Over “The Migraine From Hell?” Another One? Neurologically Not Good?) Gravol/Dimenhydrinate, Valium/Diazepam. The Regular Stuff: Topamax/Topiramate, Lamictal/Lamotrigine, Clobazam/Frisium, Seroquel/Quetiapine.
Ibuprophen That Didn’t Even Make A Dent Before Taking The Migraine Triptan. My World, It [...]
Princess Migraine© knocked on Madame Depressiva’s© door. Madame Depressiva© slowly got up from her chair and looked through her peephole to see who it was. She sighed. She really didn’t want to speak to anyone. Well, when did she ever? She took one glance at how pathetic Princess Migraine© looked, changed her mind, and decided [...]

PROOF THAT I AM INSANE!!!
In case you really need it, here it is. Have a look.
This is the form that is filled out by a doctor in the Emergency Department, when you are admitted to a Psychiatric Ward for a 72 Hour Observation Period.
I actually have one of mine from one of my hospitalizations. It was given to me after I was transferred from one "Institution" to another. The second physician was supposed to ask for it. He never did.
I completely forgot about it until I was released and came home. It was still in my jacket pocket. It has all of the nice boxes ticked off that PROVE I'M NUTS.
I'm going to frame it and put it on my wall. I just haven't gotten around to picking up the frame yet.
I get pretty preoccupied with being such TOTAL WINGNUT. That kind of makes something like a frame slip my mind. Until I pause and think that some frames actually have wingnuts.

Yes, PA is a woman but she chose this badge for four reasons:
1. She can not stand colour used for gender distinction. The one for a female Blogger was pink. Therefore, this is to be used in protest.
2. PA is also in touch quite comfortably with both her "masculine" as well as her "feminine" side.
3. The third choice of badges did not appeal to her--it was in fact rather unattractive in her opinion.
4. Blue looks better in her sidebar.

Although, unfortunately I can't remember what all of the badges mean that aren't labelled!
