Clarity Community Group
This group originally had been formed to lend support and to have open discussion on the topic of dissociation. We have since opened up to all aspects of PTSD, BPD, DID, BIP, Depression, etc. Basically our group is a safe supportive (non judgemental) place for open discussion on any somewhat related topic. We do not discriminate. We consider ourselves to be...
Hi friends,
First i want to apologize for being scarce lately. I have jumped on from time to time in order to check in vi my iphone but that's not the best way to participate.
My case regarding the MVC when the drunk driver hit me two years ago started to heat up. In the past two weeks I have had numerous meeting with my attorneys in preparation for the mediation. UGH....As much as I want to complete this process, it is still so very triggering to go back to that night 11/28/2008. Last Wednesday was the mediation with the insurance company attorney. What a fucking waste of time. The insurance attorney started with a ridiculous $6500 off and moved all the way up to $20,000. I paid more than that myself out of pocket in just 2009 alone for medical stuff that my health insurance wouldn't cover. How insulting. So off to court we go. I just do not understand this system. We pay for a certain policy to cover us in the event an uninsured driver creams us, yet in order to utilize the policy it takes years and I must sue my own insurance company in order for them to pay out. It totally angers me.
Today I spent at a neurologists office set up by the defense. Tomorrow I see another one of "their experts". These docs will write up reports saying how fine I am and deserve nothing. This whole process just irks me.
So that;s my story. Been triggered back to the crash...burying myself into my work in order to take my mind off it. I feel much better today. I am strong and will take care of business and get what i deserve.
Repo update: Mikey is getting a knee replacement on March 7th. The second knee will be done in September.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Hug Repo for me! Tell him my dad had his done, expect a slow recovery...but if he gets to physical therapy right away, and works hard....he will recover faster.

i believe in you rae.......... you rock sister!
Kathyadele here, someday people will see the treatment of people for these types of accidents as abuse. I have no idea why with all the medical information out there, they still continue to try to blame the person who is suffering. We have your back. Keep up the good fight. You and everyone who tells their story adds to the change that has to take place. We are hero's because we do our best dealing with very difficult issues, yet most, even some doctors do not acknowledge the true difficulties and hardships we face. Does anyone know who out there really helps and supports us? I've applied for disablility, but they say most are denied at least 3 times and may never get it. What are people supposed to do in the mean time? I have trouble even understanding the process, let alone fighting a system that automatically denies.
For those who do not know it, Kathy was hit twice within a two week period of time.
Just goes to prove, you never know what could happen.
