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 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 [...]

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 [...]

New MP3

October 19, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, BPD, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Cutting, Health, Literary, MP3 of the Moment, Medicine, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Political, Self Medication, Therapy, You Decide

I seem to be in a bit of a blogging funk, which is fine.  It happens.  I’ve been trying to do a bit more personal writing, but I’m not so sure I’m producing much there, either! At least I’m thinking about it, though.  However, I still don’t want my blog to go “stale.”  Things just [...]

Stop the Presses! I’m Eating! And Toe Tapping to A New MP3 Too!

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 [...]

Some Sobering News

October 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Migraines, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Self Medication, Therapy

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 [...]

What’s Left Then?

October 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Migraines, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Spock, Therapy, You Decide

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 [...]
