Health Is Doing Better, Joey Ate Thread
I keep meaning to post more here, but I end up back on Facebook, which actually causes me a lot of stress. Apparently FaceBook can worsen depression. I am not surprised. Recently my cat, Joey, ate a bit of red thread and I spent $450 with him one night at the animal hospital. Thank goodness he was alright, but really was not up for dealing with that, or the vet bill. He's happy as a clam now! Mrs. Bates (other cat) is the same as always. Lazy. I've started reading the Beautiful Creatures series, having recently seen the movie. I like it. I'm really into YA fiction. I have a subscription to Teen Vogue, too. I relate more to teenagers than 30-somethings in some ways (just not the ultra-cool teens or anything -- they will forever make me squirm). I love the new Cinderella movie that came out, as well as the Irish movie, Song of the Sea. I hope to get both on Blu-ray/dvd someday. I leave for California on May 7 to visit a friend for nearly 4 weeks. She is very ill. I am starting to get healthier, though. My Lyme/Bartonella may be in remission and I'm off antibiotics. My long-time psychiatrist agrees with me I'm NOT bipolar or psychotic -- I have severe Panic Disorder. I'm sure I'm also still diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but that's less of a problem. Not even convinced I have that and not just more stress with the unexpected due to being autistic. My formerly severe PTSD is also a lot more mild now. I haven't had eating disorder symptoms in at least a year. Etc. So doing much better in many ways. Daily panic attacks suck, though. They are severe panic attacks (the type that have led me to attempt suicide a number of times). Of course, I also was very depressed and a bit crazy due to the Bartonella back when I made suicide attempts. I am doing okay, overall, mentally and physically. Physically I do have Planters/Fasciitis and have since Labor Day weekend -- but I just found out earlier this month. I have new shoes and heel cups for it and I'm doing foot exercises. Hopefully it will clear up in a few months! Oh, and I've been getting seizures again, so I'm seeing a new neurologist in June. My gp flat-out said that a lot of the neurologists in our network have bad skills dealing with patients.
