I mentioned in another post that I would be writing to major investigative news programs to try to get them to do a program on us. I was not looking in this thread and I have totally been absent in giving feedback here! You guys went through a lot to get this going, you at least should be getting feedback!
I have been recovering from a bad reaction to a psychiatric medicine change (POIS has a hand in that) and I just started school again. I will write these letters!
Nightingale,
You've gone through so much with psychiatric medications! I'm so
very sorry to hear that these medication reactions are an on-going problem.
I bet that if POIS weren't in the picture, you wouldn't need any of those meds!
You and I spoke by phone once, over a year ago, and you were 100% with it!!!! I could not have been speaking with a more terrific, sweet, intelligent, "NORMAL" person -- I remember that conversation vividly.
(Seriously speaking, I've had the opportunity to speak with some bona fide "oddballs" during my nursing career, both at NORD and before working at NORD. I once got a call from someone who wanted to know what to do -- she'd been abducted by aliens from outer space! Another couldn't stop eating toilet paper -- unused, unscented!) There's nothing funny about any of it -- but THAT is mental illness. THIS is POIS!
You were NOT odd in any way! Not in the slightest!Please believe in yourself and stay the course. There will be an end to this POIS madness.
And go for it with those letters, once you're feeling better!!
