I'm at university and they don't let you have an emergency appointment without seeing a nurse first. I saw her and she said she thought it was just an anxiety thing and sent me away.
University Nurse! To make decisions on mental illnesses! That's INSANE!!
We better put all of our brains in padded baskets and hide them away!!
On the real side. There must be a connection between bi-polar syndrome and epilepsy. Afterall, they are both treated with the same drug (depakote, valproic acid.)
As for me, I'm tired of assuming any competance on the side of medical "professionals". Just let them reside in our brains for 20 minutes and see if they survive!!
It's tough going off my meds. But I guess it's no tougher than trusting a university nurse to recognize the significance of our brain storms.
I can see this (day five, drug free) is going to be a tough one. But I have learned to observe my behaviors better. I can see when I'm "swinging," (mood swings that is) And I think i'll just go with the flow. Please excuse me all you babblers and let me babble. I need to get through this journey! With psycho-babble I'm never alone!
