About Me
My passion in life is to pass it on, learn then teach another to make this world a more peaceful place to live. I am serious and will get a VNS sooner than later I too am scared but it is not brain surgery and I am running out of medications. VNS vagus nerve stimulation for Epilepsy, Depression and pain right now I am better knowing I am a canadate, my mood has hope and less begging G-d for death. I have been raped alot! I see a Psychologist Dr. Rosenblatt, and a Psychiatrist Dr. Zak who help me in my struggles. I wish all the abuse and rapes never happend.. I keep waking up and facing the day one more time, recommitting to not kill myself multiple times a day just to keep my promises to my caring and compassionate doctors who really give a damn. I am once again acting in multiple personalities and it is a new part. I resent all the things I have to do to get well. Does anyone out there understand me, I would love to talk. I am so straped with a big credit card bill and no money to pay, had to cancel doctors. My neurologist Dr.Cases is so concerned of my mental health and you know what; so am I. Yet I make sure to laugh daily even if I feel like crap, because it helps ground me to this planet. I am not perfect or special I am just one soul that has been wounded and broken and shattered.

Interests
But I love to listen to Music, and play the flute mostly in mass at Christmas, watch politics on MSNBC and funny shows like Two and a Half Men I have a service Dog Shen for seizures and anixety - Shen is a Lhasa Apso and I have a Boyfriend in whom I devote my time with when not sick, which is often, he is very compassionate and cheerishes me, as I do him.

Hug
Food can go either way a healthy low cal diet which I feel vituous sticking to or on other days I might just eat maybe one bad thing but very little else. I am very up and down not at all routined any more which I prefered but I think routine only adds to weight loss so maybe not a bad thing.
