Well, I've had another night to ponder my situation, but it hasn't gotten any better. My fear is giving way to anger and that makes me want to stay and fight this out rather than run. I accepted my diabetes, my mental illness, my vision, my financial situation... I faced them all as best as I could. Now this and I'm running away.
I made the mistake of talking about my feelings to Pamm...

In the past 24 hours I have not only discovered that I have MPD but have identified three others who share my body. It has me convinced that I am crazy and apparently my doctor thinks I'm nuts too as I went to see her today because my stumps have been burning so severely that I have been forced to use my w/chair.

It just amazes me, and is truly a humbling experience, to know that so many folks are so compassionate and supportive in light of your own problems/issues you are facing in your own li...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

A friend of mine is engaging in dangerous behavior in the name of LOVE. Her "lover" is getting her to do dangerous things. By the time I heard all the details from her room mate I just felt sick that the former friend of mine is doing criminal things in the name of "LOVE" but I think stupidity. Both me and her room mate have tried to talk some sense into her. And she is alread...1 Recommendation5 Comments
