MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

A little about me: Former Detroit public school teacher of 20 years. I have 3 children (2 adult and 1 teenager) and one grandson. Recently widowed in 2007.

Diagnosed as bipolar in 2006. Presently taking lithium, buspar, trazadone. Lithium helps my mood swings but has made me fat. I lost 100 pound in 2004 due to gastric bypass but the meds have made me gain 40+ back.

Most recently having panic attacks. Scared to go to sleep because fear I might die. Feeling closed in and a need to walk. Can't sit still. Feeling overwhelmed. Feel I can't breath. But doing better since I've been off Wellbutrin and alcohol.

I feel I'm doing better over all. Feel more sociable. I'm on the computer chatting more. Even have a Facebook page. Signed on to sell Avon. Went to Bible study.

~Mark Twain

"It is admirable for a father to take his son fishing, but there is a special place in heaven for the father who takes his daughter shopping."
~John Sinor
