Hi all I was gone for a while. Many know here that the past 6months plus of my life dealing with an EPilepsy and Bipolar disorder diganosis cost me pretty much everything I had.
I have been living in a board and care now for about 2 months. I managed to get health insurance and SSI to pay to live here. I like it here, it took some time getting used to it, but its keeping my mental illness very stable. I am also part of a pragram that offers therapy and all sorts of things such as emergency call team any hours.
My Epilepsy is still not as well- controlled as I would like it to be, but I am hopeful. 1 Week ago I had an app with my Neurologist but after I regsitered at the clinic I started to get double vision, so went outside for some fresh air. Its thought I had a seizure because when I went back in the building I sat in a totally different clinic confused for 2hours....thus missing my app....I will tell my Neuro about this in 3 weeks.
Although my life has stability and normalitty which Im clinging to, I am finally thinking... "why me" and I cannot get the memories of last years and this years hospitalizations out of my head, i am discussing the posibility of PTSD.
A couple of weeks ago I realized howgreatful I was to be here after having a complex partial seizure in the dining room and needing to take a shower later on...staff were able to make sure I was ok in the shower. I share a good size room and bathroom with my room mate who isAutistic.
Aside from all that. WE had a recent person move in who I suspcet has Munchausens, and Im not sure how to handle it becuase Im getting very angry.
This person has claimed so far ..Bipolar...Schizophreia..multiple personalities, donw-syndrome (looks nothing like it) claims has died over 15 times by negligence of medical staff. Has walked into the dining room telling staff she just had a stroke...then when she is ignored she leaves the facility, goes to the ER over-night and comes back angry the next day saying staff at the ER were laughing (can you be suprised ?)
Well when she found out I had Epilepsy after me having a partial seizure there...now she claims that too and has been faking seizures. ESP in-front ofme. It seems she wants to see my reaction.
I dont do anything. But im furious. This condition has been part-responsible for loss of job...home...dog...and most the things I own.
I amsettling in here with my TV and computer desk computer etc...but I dont come online much as the wireless signal is bad.
Staff here arelovely, and I have the stability and help I need. Missed u all. please respond
