Not sure if anyone has noticed, but I have been gone for about 2 months. I think a lot of what has happened to me lately is just coincidence that it happened all the say time, but here is a brief run down.

I got a new medical professionals in October after a fall out with my GP and my abuser getting a hold of my medical files from the clinic. FYI it is really hard to get the law to act on a hippa violation.

So, I got rotated on a bunch of new meds. and back off. Hubby beyond stressed at work, wants to desperately quite. was feeding my panic attacks, I begged him to join the supporters section and it didn't go well, I freaked. Don't worry, I doubt he will come back he didn't want to join in the first place. Beginning of December I stopped being able to keep anything down along with a host of other strange symptoms. 3 days out of the hospital and I would be right back. Finally after 3 trips to the hospital on December 27th they did a brain scan. I have a prolactanoma. Non cancerous tumor am more scared than I should be. Guess it is one of those things that sounds super scary but is easily treatable. I should find out about any additional stuff like adrenal problems from the endocrinologist monday. Test results are slowwwwww.

Anyways my mental and emotional symptoms that is where I am really scared. They have tripled. The panic attacks last forever and I am swinging from anhedonia to full blown panic and nothing in between. For all the times dr.s have said I was depressed, NO no I wasn't. What I am experiencing now it. Never felt like this before. Void, hopeless, bored and craving stimulus but everything seems so one dimensional.

My husband and I were supposed to start couples therapy but they had to reschedule. Hubby did go to a therapy appointment with me and saw how my therapist talked me out of a flashback.

With the repeal of the statue of limitation in California I am pursuing charges against my childhood abuser. Yes,it is out of spite and vengeance. but that need for vengeance is the only thing keeping me going because when I feel that anhedonia stuff, suicide becomes way to easy.
 
Jesus @Fadeaway No wonder you’ve been through shit, and feel like shit. I guess the only good thing is that it’s non cancerous. You haven’t said though if it’s treatable??? As in removal, brain surgery?!?!? That will be tough emotionally, but with today’s technology things should be fine. I know a woman that has had a brain tumor removed 20 yrs ago, and most recently had deep brain stimulation for a tremor disorder. She’s fine....

My only suggestion....... Take things slowly, don’t overload with too much shit on your plate. Take care of your health FIRST, and then deal with the rest later. Seriously, your health is the most important thing..........
 
Gosh. That sounds beyond intense! So sorry to hear it. Glad you are back. Know they either treat prolactoanomas with meds or surgery. It may be that treating it will help you feel better emotionally too as they don't help at all feeling stable.

So sorry your abuser got hold of your medical files and well done for pursuing charges. You are amazing. Wanting repercussions for them is totally normal.
 
I noticed, and I’m glad to see you back and I hope that maybe being here helps regulate some of those intense symptoms for you.

And whilst I am genuinely sorry that you have a tumor (I have a couple of benign ones, not in my brain, but they can still be really stressful), I am literally fist-pumping the air that you’ve decided to make a complaint against your abuser now that the limitations period has been dropped. For me, just reporting the bastard to the police was a huge shift in my recovery - like, massively huge. Even if the report ends up going nowhere for lack of evidence or whatever? It’s something you did for you, just because you deserve it. Finally treating the perp like the criminal that he is? Is fkn awesome. Go you, even though you feel like shite you should be incredibly proud of yourself:)

there is all kinds of stuff on line about it's relationship with trauma and anxiety.
There is so much about this now, @intothelight has been reading and commenting about this for awhile now. There is so much research into trauma and illness now.
