Recently, I went to see my physician for a physical. During my physical, Dr. K. said to me:
“I just want you to know, that you are extremely intelligent I don’t think that you realize how intelligent you are.” “Really?” I said. “Yes”, Dr. K. said. “How do you know this?” I said. Dr. K. said “I have been your doctor for at least 15 years.” “As a doctor, I have met a lot of people, but you are one of the most intelligent, that I have met.”
“Don’t ever sell yourself short”, she said. “You have had a lot of ups and downs in your life, but you always pull yourself up and out of it.” Then she said: “You are one remarkable broad”.
Dr. K.’s compliment was one of the best that I have ever heard. It moved me to tears, in fact.
Dr. K. was scheduled to retire, the day after I saw her. I am missing her, so much.
Hello,
I’m Christine
My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
