Hi Elaine,
I'll be thinking of you today. Take some gentle breaths, and remember that you are doing everything that you SHOULD be doing. You just do your best to tell the drs. what's going on. Tell them everything. You are brave, and I think you will do just fine.I think you are a very wonderful person for helping your grandparents find peace and comfort at the end of their lives. Have you ever thought about pursuing a career in a caregiving field? There are many opportunities to help people, and I think that you would be such a wonderful person to help people. It doesn't have to be anything as intense as you've been through- perhaps something like reading books to the elderly, or tutoring kids who don't have an adult to help them with hw after school. Give it a thought-- when you're better, what would you like to do?
You've learned a LOT about what happens when the healthcare/mental health system lets people slip through the cracks. It might help empower you if you could be a part of the solution?
Of course all of this can wait until your body is in better shape. You WILL get better. I hope you're wearing your pink sneakers to your appt. today?
warm thoughts,
-Lip.s. I don't know my purpose in life yet either. I don't have ANY idea what I'm gonna do when I'm done with school. *sigh...*
