Sorry 1982,

I tried to post back to you a week or two ago. I was interrupted as I typed, and had to turn off the computer. With my crummy memory, I totally forgot about this post until I saw it again just now. Dangit!!

I am glad that you got a response though! Phoenix7 is a good one too .

I wanted to tell you that I have a lot of emotional and physical disorders. I've gone to hospitals for both, more than a time or two. In my experience, I have noticed that the physical outweighs the emotional.

For instance, I got a TBI 5 years ago. The doctor told me not to work for a few days, then I could return on Friday. Those few days were MISERABLE! I had ALL of the symptoms of traumatic brain injury, and was wondering how in the heck I could go back to work (as a CNA-certified nursing assistant). I did it though. And, as I transferred a resident from his wheelchair into his recliner, I twisted my back. Causing the L4 and L5 discs to become herniated and bulging into my spinal column. This pain immediately took over and became center-stage for a couple of weeks. Until the pain became more manageable, then the brain injury became a bigger issue once again & brought along intense emotional difficulties.

That's my experience. I've got a long list of physical and emotional disorders that take turns being in the light. Weird. I am unsure if everyone has different levels of pain that they can withstand, before simply putting it out of the mind and focusing on one trauma after another. I think so....
