Thank you Relapse; very well said.
I will try to hang onto hope and remember when there was a time in my life I never would have understood the depth of despair of this illness, and try to forgive those around me who are the same.
I look back and recall gazing at a person w/ a problem of the mental health sort, and thinking 'thank goodness I'll never be like that'. I didn't mean them any harm, but, I didn't even ever stop to ask them if 'they were alright' or 'if there was something I could do for them' or if 'they needed some company'. I could have touched someone and maybe even 'made their day'. A woman came over from another unit once and said 'I noticed you hadn't been out very often and just wanted to see if you were okay'. That person is one in hundred! I think I've learned where she lives and plan to go over there and thank her for this. It did make my day. Someone noticed and cared and just asked.
No one in my fam' has even had anything like I, even in fam hx. So, wasn't raised to even know this or how to react to a person with it or help a person w/ it, except I did help my parents' parents when they were widowed and lonely.
Pls pardon me you all, as I am not punctual at all, at this time, afa responding to followups to my posts. I'm able to handle about one, maybe two, a day, then some days, none. And, then I look at my subject. I'm so sorry.
My pc seems to have a lot of illnesses. I'm w/o a warranty w/ Dell or MS. The experts to help fix this, which I can't afford to pay anything, are two fam' members here, and, 'because of my illness', don't want to be around me much. Trying to educate them, you look at the expression of their faces, and you see disappointment and their anxiousness to point out 'if only you'd do this or that', and give up.
Thank you so much R.
good weekend 2all, 5f
and: I'm scared of the risperidone :(. Muscle rigidity is causing breakthrough c-spine pain, at least did the two nights I took it. Fell asleep w/ it and my ice cream not embibed.(sp?)
