Hiya Lou,
Right, click on your private messege,then at the top you should have a bar thats red amber and green...I'm guessing yours is all red. Just above that is an option to clear messeges.
Did you get in touch with Bambs?

Hey Lou,

It's me again!

It sounds like what happened to you was a dissociative experience with amnesia. Please write this down and explain carefully when you meet with the mental health professionals. You may have what is known as a dissociative disorder. They are not uncommon at all, really, but they can be very scary when you have one, especially when you have an episode that has amnesia and you don't remember!

Please be encouraged that this is coming out now, and you can tell the professionals about it. I am praying that you will get the help that you need. You can go online and do some research on dissociative disorders yourself, too.

Hugs, Kathy

Hi everyone...........
Been a busy day here and had problems logging on also.

It looks like most of us are doing pretty well!
Gabby do you want to be mayor for another week?
You are so good at it.......I think you've found your nitch.

Lou.......Please listen to Kathy and write down what she said. I delt with some mental illness issues with my mom years ago and there are some miracle things they can do to help.....
She had a physical illness which led to something like what your talking about. Her doc was able to bring her out of it with some correct drugs and talk therapy. It was amazing to see.
This is going to be a short one for now.
Will check with Gabby to see who your mayor will be tomorrow!

Lou, you know I am always here for you, and don't ever feel sad or embarrassed
We wil definintely go to that place on Tuesday for an assesment, and see what happens from there. I know you think - oh - I'm just fine, but, why not just give it a go? What have you got to lose?
It might just be the turning point. After all , GP's are ' all rounders' These people are specialists in this field, so instead of palming you off with a pack of prozac, they may be able to come to the root of the problem , and sort it out, with therapy, the CORRECT drugs, or a combination of both.
I know it's a really big step to take... But you are a lovely person, who deserves to shine - ALL of the time - just not on the 'good' days.

Will speak to you soon

Lou-Lou,

Part of it IS feeling like a child again. That's one of the symptoms! You're not being silly or weak or daft. If bad things happened to you when you were a child, it's like the trauma can get split off into a part of your brain and come up again at times almost like it was happening again. Sometimes you might remember it or sometimes you might not when that happens.

The symptoms might fit PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or dissociative disorder. These are ALL treatable. Talking therapy AND medication are usually the recommendations.

Try to take care of yourself and stay settled until your appointment, Lou. Sip some calming tea and know that there is help available! Your problem is not silly and you are not weak!!

And we are all here for you Lou-Lou! I know that you may physically feel alone, but keep on posting. We are all around the world, so it won't be long until someone reads your post and responds!!

Hugs,
Kathy
