Author dreamergrl Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hate playing phone tag. It looks like I might not get into the therapist for weeks. Probably since it's low cost. And I keep getting the run around with the hospital about getting a tox screen. And the stupid roof is leaking. Frustrated... I keep trying to go back and think of what happened. Why can't I remember damn it. Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer Girl Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I had a black out once.... and I was with my SO.... Never been like that in my life..... thought I was drugged.... I told him what I could ..... He had to fill in the details.... and I felt so guilty.... I was a mess..... Knowing I had the black out he could forgive me.... I told him what I knew.... He forgave me as, he knew this was not the real me.....perhaps your man will know that too..... Link to post Share on other sites

What did he say you did? How did you cope with it all? Link to post Share on other sites

sb129 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Do you think it would still be in my system? Some drugs can stay detectable in your system for a long time. I guess it would depend on the drug (and whether or not you had your drink spiked). The sooner the better for these tests though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jilly Bean Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yeah, I don't think people are trying to diagnose Dreamer, so much as sharing their own experiences with AP Disorder. I posted my own history with AP, and that was to say I never personally hurt myself physically while having an attack. If anything, I was too paralyzed with fear I would die at that moment, and was often catatonic while having an episode. Regardless, Dreamer, hope you're feeling a bit better today, and encouraged to hear you are seeking some answers and help. When are you going back to work? Link to post Share on other sites
New_Life08 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have had AD for about 20 years. The reason this happened is because you need medication to keep you balanced. That way you will not have the full-blown attacks. This disorder is not something you can control on your own with diet or mind over matter. It is a neurological imbalance that needs medication if you want to live a normal, healthy life. Are you sure this is an AD? Never once in my worst debilitating state would I have ever hurt myself. My attacks were textbook - feeling like I need to run away from myself, shortness of breath, sweating, convinced I am having a heart attack bc my heart is pounding and numbness in my face and limbs. Usually I could not sit still, I paced the floor bc the intense panic made me feel I was dying. I am so thankful I have not had one in 9 years. Thanks to the proper medication. I have only had a couple of mild anxiety attacks in that time. As for the bf, if you rationalize his position we cannot really blame him for running scared. I am sure it really freaked him out. Most people cannot comprehend AD, so there is no point in trying to make them understand the impact it can have on you at the time. I had a few big ones when I was married and my husband did not know what to say, think, or do for me. He looked at me like I had 3 heads. I felt so embarrassed; I never wanted to talk about it, I still don't like to talk about it. The only thing you can do is see a dr who can prescribe the right medication for you so you do not have anymore episodes like this. I am sure it is a real party killer for those who do not understand. If I were you I would focus on seeing a dr - get yourself healthy, and don't worry about the bf just yet...give him some time. He is more apt to come back around if he knows you are trying to get help for it. All my best to you. Hang ion there ~ Link to post Share on other sites

I've had SERIOUS AD for a longggggggg time and never took meds for it. My AD is helped with balance. I'm a naturopath and can tell you that AD can and is controlled with God given effort and not pharma meds that keep you numb. This disorder is something that can be controlled...........I am living proof, as is my Dad, my friend a whole other host of people I know! Link to post Share on other sites

I'm only keeping them around for an as needed basis. I didn't think this thread was still going, but there's an update in the personal well-being section. Link to post Share on other sites
