TO KATE:
Your postings really hit a chord for me - had a heinous manic/psychotic/every-disorder-in-the-book episode last month. Something I never thought could happen to ME. Another thing that really 'jumped off the page' at me is that not a single person responded IMMEDIATELY to your last posting!! You sound (and I'm sure you ARE) in a living hell right now. Are these people that damn self centered? Anyway, I sure hope you're doing better. I've made alot of progress since my "episode" but don't know if I'll ever be able to easily talk or even think about it without pain. I never thought something like that manic/psychotic/whatever-bizareness could happen to someone like me. But I CAN tell you one thing and I hope you give it some very serious thought. The one thing I learned with all certainty is that when you're feeling that bad, you MUST throw the burden to someone else....I'm sure there are times you feel there's no one who cares enough to go thru that kind of B.S. with you, but trust me, there is. So think of the one person you trust more than anyone else (friend, family, whoever!) and tell them you need their help BIG TIME. Let THEM come over and physically dress you and drive you to your dr's office, if that's what it takes. I went thru 48 hours of hell and could have avoided at least half of those 48 had I realized sooner it was out of my hands and called a friend right away.Anyway, I'm no expert, but I really know how you feel and I care! I'll be thinking of you til I hear how you are - and try to remember,when you feel that shitty, things can only get better, right? And miraculously, they do. Please write soon - dlfail@aol.com
