Thank you so much for writing!

I was being childish last night-but also freaking out so maybe it was okay. Coming here-beig able to post and vent (if need be) has done me a world of good. Now that I am taking the antibiotics, I'm already starting to feel better and no more hallucinations since Friday. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my late forties and a lot of damage had been done by then.

sui generis-Thank you so much for taking the time. When I have to interact with too many people in a short time span, I get very anxious. And I can't stand being touched by strangers, even if it's accidental. So eight days to write and read and make art is heaven.

The crisis line is for Vets and also families of Vets. So if your Mom or Dad were in the service, you could use it. I will PM the number for you. Talking on the phone makes me anxious as well, but all of the staff (and they are all over the country) have had extensive training and most have their degree.

My husband died ten months ago-I thought I was going to be evicted (no insurance) and then I picked a sociopath for a roommate. ((shiver)) She ripped me off, hid my things all over the house and since she had never paid a deposit, left me in the trenches financially. She also tried to destroy one of my novels and tried to poison me. (She knocked me down a couple of weeks ago and kept trying to kick me, but I beat her black and blue with my cane. )

Hardy hail and hello fellow writer! This is something we will definitely have to talk about!

Miguel's Mom-Thank you. I finally did get the atibiotics I need and have been taking an extra klonipin at night. I'm switching all my care to the big VA hospital because with their van service it's easier to get there and I would never see that other doc again.

Thank you InnerZone-yes, I agree. Getting sick is a terrible stresser. And I do talk to myself sometimes-or the comp or the tv or my cat and it is very soothing. I sing to my cat too, which he loves. He pats my face and I get kisses. And yes, ms's is manuscripts. Just started number 6.

So thank you all for caring and supporting me. I will do the same if I see a thread from you.
