I was hospitalized, for the third time this year, just 2 weeks ago. My second kidney infection in 4 months. My physician is not happy. I can only say, that, I am so happy to be alive. In December, 2017, I developed Pneumonia. In January, 2018, I developed Diabetic Ketoacidosis, in July 2018, I developed a Kidney Infection, and in November 2018, another Kidney Infection. All of these times, I was so physically sick, that I felt like I was dying.
It has been such a difficult year. At times, I feel so grateful to have survived these illnesses, but at times, I am so damn depressed, so sad, so scared.
The depression, anxiety, hallucinations, and physical illnesses have done a real number on my soul. I often feel like I am fading away. And my wonderful husband has to live with these situations.
To all of my friends, who suffer from mental illness, I know that you know where I am coming from. You are all in my prayers.
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?
