Just a quick check in to say I'm going to stay.
I went thru the archives, saw how many good people have left and felt that this board needs bad people too. Thusly, here I art.
My new DX is 296.60 with a dollop of PTSD, lumpy back syndrome(Chevy Chase line), athletes wrist, and water on the heel.
I've been AWOL from work for close to a month. Not sure if or how I will be paid or if my job will wait. My pdoc wrote a note and I quote, 'Filip will be out for 2-4 months. He's seeing me once a week..my husband doesn't know.'
I'm taking Symbyax(the only Lilly I like is the water lilly)and can stay up for days. I see Honey, my doc, tomorrow and I think she wants to try Lamictal. I told her she could take whatever she wanted.
Actually, this drug seems to work pretty well if I ever want to run a 7/11 alone.
I am sleepy-tired now so I must go but I'll be back...I ain't a leavin' nowhere, ya hear?
Special thanks to so many here...much love to you folks. Many of you have no idea the love I feel for you: I'm taking time to learn to feel that love for me, too.

I'm glad you're planning to stay. I don't want to be the only nutcase on this board, ya know?
Glad your doctor shares your sense of humor, but make sure her husband ain't loaded for Phil, you hear?

Can't stop crying...but it's a needed cry.Phil

When I'm in their waiting room, he sometimes finishes an appt and, as he walks by, I wink.
Racer, Here's an email I sent to a friend. I decided to share it here. It relates to where you and I left off here.
_______________________________________________
My brother xxxx, the brain(and memory) of the family, told me about
whippings I would get when I was young. I didn't remember the frequency or
intensity. I guess he told me when I mentioned the PTSD DX.
Evidently, my drunk mother would bend me over bare-assed and start lashing
away w/ my step-fathers' belt of choice. Xxxx, my brother, was a big boy. He told me he
once walked out of the house because he was afraid he was going to deck
momma. I wish he would have.
I asked, 'Bare-assed?' He said that, yes, I was and had whelps from thigh
to back.
I'm sure later that night, I was saving her ass.
I remember whippings but I didn't remember the intensity. Ah, those tender,
loving moments we all forget so easily.Last night, even before your email, I was thinking..'What do I feel or, what
goes through my mind and heart when someone says they love me?'
Hopefully, I can journal on that some today. It was a very provocative
question that never came up to me before.See <pdoc> at 5 today. I read some of XXX'x old posts on Lamictal last
night and will ask her<pdoc> to put me on it if she thinks it best.
I also need her help getting courage to call work.
______________________________________________You are very special to me, Racer. All my love to you.
Phil

you funny guy--I was really laughing out loud over and over again the more I read! Perhaps this is your thing--stand up shtick about your personal experiences with MH? Or sit down shtick, or shtick via windows internet explorer? Good stuff, very good, and of course, great to have you back, dear friend.
This is the end of the thread.
