compromised
I've been poisoned I think. I went to the ER Sunday to get help for an allergy attack that apparently I didn't have(although I'd had one the day before), it was left over anxiety. I see that now. I was treated by a PA, who, rather than tell me the truth, decided it was be better to give me a "shut up" pill and send me out the door.
Now comes the fun part. I am now psychiatrically compromised. According to the direction of my own psychiatrist, I am taking .5 mg of Ativan 3X's a day every 5 hours to combat feelings of aggressive behavior, psychosis, anxiety, and tremor. He believes this will stop in 8 more hours.
Meanwhile I feel abandoned by everyone, I've left a bizarre message on my doctor's answering machine and I woke up a few minutes ago from a sound sleep and took ten minutes trying to determine who I was, where I was, and who was in bed with me, because I was pretty sure my first guess was wrong. "Should I get up? what if I run into someone I don't know" "what if I'm not whoI think I am and these animals bite me?"
I did eventually get up, still not knowing quite who I was supposed to be and went to the bathroom. Name with the face? yep. that helped everything. but I still feel strange. how in the world do I tell anybody this?
beggs.
