Chapter 53: Somebody’s Crackers, But We’re Not Sure Who

Sept. 18th, 2019

Hello Everyone,

Came back from my shrink’s appointment a little while ago. They were confused by the neurologist’s claims. They said that they had no idea where the neurologists were getting the idea that my speech and memory issues had anything to do with my having depression and anxiety.

The shrink said the physical rocking and not wanting to be around a lot of people, my reaction to too many people talking at once, that is all depression and anxiety and gave me some new meds to calm me down some more to see if that helps.

I also had to see a case manager about my situation. She said since my neurologist pulled my FMLA out from under me which will result in me getting fired. To immediately file for unemployment and Social Security and they would help with the process.

I am feeling some optimism. These people seem to care. I am so tired of playing the game where every few months I have to prove something’s wrong. If I don’t frame it in just the right words I’m punished for it. I’m like “You’ve been looking at me for two fucking years. Stop the insanity!”

I’m glad that they’ve ruled out dementia and related illnesses. I get to be around longer than I thought YAY! Now, if they’ll get off of my ass everybody can be happy.

Cheers,
