First I just want to say how brave you a...Wow Kate! First I just want to say how brave you are! What an incredibly strong woman you are to go through this process.<br /><br />While reading your post I felt that I could relate on a smaller level to what you are feeling. Going through almost 2 years of having NO IDEA what my problem was and feeling pretty much like you did yesterday EVERYDAY! It was total HELL. For me too, I'm not an angry person...never have been...so for me to be this upset at everything every day drove me and my family crazy!<br /><br />Once it was suggested to me to take anxiety/depression meds I thought please God let this help! But that started an 8 month process of finding the right meds and the right dose...which was awful!!<br /><br />Each time I felt the frustration and anger dissipate for a short week then come back guns a blazing was awful. I finally got the right dose and have been doing well since. BUT, once a month I STILL feel a day or two like you described and I too panic... feeling like I'm not on the right dose and I can't feel this way again nor do I EVER want to feel that again...but then I wake up and it's over.<br /><br />It's hard, I agree to "get to know yourself" for me it was to get back to being myself. It's not easy and there are good and bad days for us all.<br /><br />Big Hugs,<br />JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092367499558556136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620771266591479835.post-77011367881397553572012-01-08T17:38:19.157-05:002012-01-08T17:38:19.157-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620771266591479835.post-13836432909487197032011-10-19T22:43:23.849-04:002011-10-19T22:43:23.849-04:00This is probably the best makeup story I have ever...This is probably the best makeup story I have ever read. Although I don't have to deal with the challenges of a tremor, I will note that some of the smudgy-type issues and ability not to look like a caricature of god knows what. Now the eyeliner pencil must make its way across a bumpy landscape impeded only by fuzzier vision. You, Miss KB, are beautiful throughout, always have been.

You, my lovely daughter, not only fill my soul, you inspire me. I loved your writing when you were a wee thing, and now I am humbled, delighted, proud of your ability to observe, act, and articulate things from where you are today.

I was there with you in the hospital, bunny, and I've struggled as long as you and also went through the last two years learning and accepting and finding out what the "disorders" were and that they aren't just in my head (emotionally), they are in my head as hard-wired due to events that have prepared my brain for defense and survival. People put such a stigma on mental illness, and it's people like you (and hopefully, me) that change that stereotype...that let the public "sanity" know that it can happen to anyone, and you have no control over it. Only acceptance...Thanks for sending out the link, I'll be visiting here often. love to you.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067680788001763053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620771266591479835.post-44573438892182540782011-09-30T19:56:15.417-04:002011-09-30T19:56:15.417-04:00Grace and Peace to you always!
