Stories of Recovery and Healing.

Dear @PeppiPatty Lovely to see you again. I did miss you your perky posts.

I am feeling good right at the moment. I just had a little music practise with my son and he is singing a very beautiful song. He worked hard to translate the Russian into something meaningful for him. It just makes me feel mummyproud. It just shows how much he has matured and that there is music out there that really suits his personality.

doing a great job @Appleblossom

Hello @PeppiPatty, @Appleblossom'

I have been wondering to put one of my stories here or if the Mods want to move it somewhere else -- that is ok too , I have thought for a while to share my story -- so here goes my friends xx

when I was 27 , I started to have mindgrains everyday , anything would set it off, a light from a passing car , anything , if i took some painkillers early i would be ok except for a heavy headache , but if i didn`t take painkillers early i would have to go through the whole cycle , being so sick that i had to go to hospital to have a needle , this went on for ages , the doctor didn`t know what it was .

one night at a 11pm , I could not breah, it was soo scary , the ambulance came and took me to hospital , the doctor gave me some painkiillers and sent me home

well a week later at 1am , i screamed out , mum rang the ambulance , by the time the ambulance came , I was having near death experience which i was going to a bright light , mum thought i was dead , I was going far away looking down at mum and the ambulance man until he brought me back with oxygen

I ended up in hospital for a week , had hundreds of tests done and they found out i developed Epilepsy, There was a black spot in my brain , which they gave me medication which gave me Depression and weight gain

for the next 3 years I suffered from depression, hurting myself , hating myself , I had my own childcare business and mum helped me sooo much , but the weekends were my worst and Mum felt so helpless to help me , I would cry all weekend , hurting myself and so on

I followed the doctors orders and after 3 years he did a scan and the big black spot on my brain was gone , he could not believed it , he called it amazing and asked if he could take my case to melbourne

well coming off the tablets was another scary story as i would wake up in the middle of the night screamim]ng because i forgot my tablets

so sometimes people will say you dont know what it is like to have depression -- Guess what I DO KNOW SO !!!!

dear @Former-Member

Apologies that it took me a while....i truly thought that I did answer you !!

how is it all going ?

You remind me of my sons who are both muddling their ways in their lives. My oldest.....26 years old.....somewhere is his story....refuses to take medication but he works fulltime and sees a Psychotherapist once per fortnight.

My youngest son......medically managing a non functioning shunt, hole in his fontelle and a now benign tumour: is discussing with my hub. and me about coming home for a couple of months to rest from life and thinking about going back to Head Space.

Where did you get the jackpot of good care for your husband ?? It is rare...............but......lol.....I do live in the West.........lol
