MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

Today I am grateful for my mother.

She accepts who I am.

Any other person would walk away.

Somehow she still stands by my side.

I feel ungrateful. I can see what good is around me and I should be grateful. Others are envious of what I have in my life, but I still feel ungrateful. what is wrong with me?
I am not sick, I am enhanced.

People say these things take time. I say a nanosecond should be long enough.

Lamotragine 150mg bd; Dex 10mg 3x daily; Seroquel XR 300mg; Seroquel 25mg-50mg prn; Lexapro 2.5mg

I don't burn the candle at both ends,
I break it in half so I can burn all four.

Sorry, my magic wand is broken. You'll have to see a doctor instead.

I think, rather, that I feel grateful, I am grateful, but I cannot show that I am grateful or thankful.

I think I try to be grateful by crying silently and trying to hide the mess I'm in, by trying to protect them from myself.

I am not sick, I am enhanced.

I am grateful to be home for this Mother's Day, to see our son home from college yesterday evening, and to see the glow of my wife's face when she said "...this is the best Mother's Day gift anyone could have gotten me, my family at home..."

Today I am grateful to have received a text from my wife that said "Bye Sad You weren't home long and I'm sad to see you go" That warms my heart after all the years of pain I have held with my silence.
