She's probably die after two days.
Or be begging me to let her go home.

maybe it would be good for her!

I'd make her break her phone the second she got here.

 

[Tesumph]

That's awesome that you haven't had seizures! That's truly amazing news!

Thanks! I’m very thankful for it.

Thanks! I’m very thankful for it.

Nothing scares me more than seizures.

My high school friend had them and it was heartbreaking.

I'm glad you found something that works. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!

then we'd never hear from her

 

[Kiki]

I'm not that mean.
I'd let her borrow mine for five minutes a week.

You need to go live with her. You keep her in line! That's what good friends do though.

she really does!!

I've been telling her to come stay with me for a while.
I'll boot camp her into shape quick.

I thought you were joking

Eveyone has a touch of screwed up in them.

We’re all a bit nutty!

Shower ever night you nut!

I’m guessing you saw it before I edited it!?

I can’t afford therapy. That’s what chickens are for.

That said, dogs and chickens really are great therapy.

Exactly... That's the scary thing. When they put me on veletri I didn't want to because I'm stick to a stupid pump for the rest of my life... I can't disconnect... I can't forget about it... It's there... All dang day! i joke that it's my second husband.

I have this Hickman line that comes out of my chest that people constantly stare at. I also have to wear a fanny pack type thing but it's under my clothes so you really can't see it to hold this brick shaped pump.

The medication that I took before this one gave me graves' disease after taking it for about a year. It was one of those rare side effects the 1% type side effect. The day I got diagnosed with it I wanted to punch the doctor in the face so hard. I know that sounds pretty aggressive, but when you're already dealing with a disease you don't want to have more on top of that!

There are so many people out there that are like me and this makes me cry my eyes out because I don't want to see anyone suffer like I have. It literally hurts my heart to hear that people have had side effects from medications that have ruined their entire life!

They really should start looking into long-term studying, but it will never happen. You are basically playing Russian roulette every time you take a medication or put a medication into your body.

It really is sad!! Wish they’d care less about money and more about people.

No.
You don't need to start anything new.
You need to focus on doing stuff that you should already be doing.
Go brush your teeth.

Yeah but I also need hobbies and things to do besides the phone. Aren’t you the one who always says I need to get off it!?

That would be awesome. Texas is a great place too! Nice and warm plus great food.

Very true!!! And sunny!! None of this dark at 4 crap.

She's probably die after two days.
Or be begging me to let her go home.

Nahhh! I’m sure I’d have a blast!!

Might die of the heat and the spices though

I’m sure by the end though I couldn’t eat anything without it.

Funny thing is though, I might not even need a boot camp by the time I got there.

Just like I might not even need therapy by the time I actually go.

When I have somewhere to be, I clean up, shower, teeth, etc.

And when I am at other people’s houses, I always help out and/or clean up after myself. Do dishes, clean, make my own bed, whatever. I’m always extremely productive and helpful when I’m a guest

Just not when I’m home by myself and don’t have to.

Never heard of it. Sounds horrifying.
I haven’t really seen anyone for several reasons. I was diagnosed somewhat recently and never went back.

But I’m off all seizure meds! I’ve been seizure free for... I don’t know... a year?

I think it’s like rapid eye movement desensitization and reprocessing or something like that. Supposed to be really helpful. Exhausting but helpful.

And aw sorry. Hopefully you’re okay.

And oh wow that is awesome!!! Congrats!!!

I honestly can't afford it either but I don't want to insult my Dr.

We actually just saw him last week and we were talking to him about how much farm life has really helped me. My husband was telling him how great moving to the country has been for us.

My doctor said this to us "you get busy living or you get busy dying" It's from Shawshank Redemption. My doctor said he thinks of me every time he thinks of that saying.

That is awesome!!!

maybe it would be good for her!

I’m sure it would be.

I'd make her break her phone the second she got here.

break it!?

can’t you just like.... put it in a lock box or something!?

then we'd never hear from her

You would when I got back!! It’d be like an extended summer camp.

I'm not that mean.
I'd let her borrow mine for five minutes a week.

5 minutes a week!?

Honestly though I’d be good with just not having the phone and only being allowing to use a regular computer for a few mins lol

That way I couldn’t carry it around.

Although honestly, again, just being there would be beneficial because I usually feel rude using it when I’m with people so I wouldn’t even want to use it anyway.

Maybe only be allowed to use it at night in bed alone.

But then I’d stay up all night.

Yea I get sleep paralysis too, only a couple times a year. Night terrors weekly and sleepwalking almost nightly.
Unfortunately for me sleep disorders are not well known and there isn’t many medications to throw at it when it’s linked to PTSD. Therapy is basically your best option.

Sucks, don't it? Docs recommended me Prazocin but since it's also a BP med I didn't feel like screwing with that. I'm sure yours has already brought it up.

Yea it was a rough time, especially as a newlywed and in college. Had some scary near misses. Still dealing with the consequences of memory loss and whatnot.
