Hi  

Thanks for writing to me.  I have calmed down since my last post.  Now I feel kida silly.  I really didn't know that I was doing so bad until I wrote it all down.  What was I thinking?  I was just a crazy person on a rampage.....Now I'm going to feel silly going to the doc, because I just had an appointment, and told him that I was okay.  Now like one week later I'm going to tell him all of these things....I'm really not that mean of a person.  I usually have a lot of patience driving.  Don't know what my problem is...I guess some of the things that went on before I was diagnosed are starting to happen again.  Things like driving at night and bushes looking like people.  Saw one shadow that freaked me out once.  I am starting to get little dizzy spells....and feeling angry, a lot..There is no extra stress in my life.  I feel like I want to fight anyone who'll takle me on...  Oh well.... 

see ya later 

You may want to print out that last post and take it to the doctor. It doesn't seem real, now, does it? and yet you need him to know how you were feeling. I know how you feel when you come down; it's so unreal and doesn't seem like that stuff really happened. But if your doctor doesn't know about it he can't help. Try to let him know as much as you can. He has to know how you were feeling and what you were doing. I know the temptation is to go in and say "I feel fine" because you do now.  

Don't do that. Tell him what was going on and let him figure out what was happening. And let me know how it goes. You know I care.

Hi Catrina 

  

I read both posts...it is good to write things down.  Then when things are good you can go back and look at it and realize what is going on with you.  You know it's not normal already...none of us need to tell you that.  Jane(Mensan) has given you a lot of good input.  I too think you should copy your posts and make your doctor aware of how you feel sometimes.  That's the best way to get some help...because you obviously don't like this part of you.  You may still need some med adjustments.  I used to have a thing with shadows...that's far better now.  The other nigt I went out to get my mail...I seen my own shadow and freaked...LOL.  But, I do remember the feelings that went with it and I do emphatize with you.  You might have some night vision problems as well...next time you see an eye doctor bring it up.  But, yeah...I've thought inanimate objects were something else as well.  "At night" I still can have that sensation...but I am starting to have difficulties with night vision.  Hang in there...chat with you later...Rhonda
