It's vey sad. When she was young, she seemed vivacious and happy.
i agree
very sad.

i saw the flashback videos of her.
how does someone like that go undiagnosed?

I really don't know. I know nothing about mental health services in France. At any rate she should never have been hospitalized. At least not that long. I guess she was hitting people, and there was nowhere else for her.

Dont EVER feel judged my friend.

I know for myself, listening to what you have to say is extremely helpful and I am sure others feel the same way.

You have things to say and talk about. That is what this site is all about. Right?
Thanks for this!

I've haven't had a chance to hand out those letters I wrote I've been venturing with people and I couldn't risk them seeing but I'm getting a chance soon and they can't stop me from handing out the trust to the lucky few.

What do you see? Is there more than one image? I saw a headless meditator with wings.

ETA: Well, I answered my own question. Yes, there are more than one image. Wish I'd taken a screen shot of the first one.

I was responding to newtus' comment that she fears becoming disabled by psychotropics - like the woman in the film I watched last night.

No problem. It's so hard to keep up with this thread and so easy to miss something.

I took that test years ago when I went to a specialized psych ward in a different state. I lied about what I saw since I was afraid of being truthful. I wonder what I would have been diagnosed with if I was honest.

I hope everyone is doing well today. I feel kind of blah today. Was a very busy day at work and I've got lots to do at home but need motivation. Getting ready to go play taxi again! Story of my life! I took Daisy on a 22 minute walk today. She loved it! I took her to the vet yesterday and found out she is 12 pounds! She's too fat! Time for me to stop giving her bites of my food! I always give in to the begging! I know it's not good for her and it's terrible for me to do that. I must stop! I want her to live a very long time so it's time for me to get serious about her health. I vow to do that! More walks and zero table food!

Will she eat veggies? My dogs love carrots, brocolli, cauliflauer, cucumber, spinach, green beans, etc. (No onions - bad for dogs) plus they LOVE frozen veggies! They'll skittle the still frozen treat all over the floor before pouncing on it and happily munching. Excercise plus a low calorie treat - a win win! Maybe Daisy would like some of those too? I hope she was otherwise okay at the vet.

I don't know if Daisy will eat vegetables! That's a great thought! I've never tried that with her. Thanks for the idea! She's on a special low fat dog food that I get from the vet. The feeding her bites of table food is what's making her so fat! The vet said her exam was great other than being a little over weight. This is the fattest she has ever been in the entire four and a half years that I've had her! I've been a bad mommy!

That's the expensive low fat food I buy for Daisy from the vet. It's suppose to be really good for her. It should be it cost me $56 a bag!

Not a bad mommy, just an over-indulgent one! Two of my dogs were obese when I adopted them, so I had to learn about doggie dieting for their health. They both successfully got to their target weights, which has helped their health a lot.
I am sorry you have to be a taxi again. I had to be a taxi this afternoon and I thought of you!
