Fed Up With The Rollercoaster Of Emotion

I haven't been able to write recently. I have had so much going around in my mind and I just didn't know how to write it all down.

I am worried about my dogs and how they will manage almost 3 weeeks in kennels. They went for a night last week and Max didn't cope well. They are going again tomorrow for 2 nights, I hope he will settle. My other dog is fine, she gets on with it. Max hardy leaves my side since the accident, watching out for me, making me laugh and just being a teddy dog.

Then therapy, the next session on Aug 17th will be my last one. I am so nervous about going it on my own although I do seem to be managing my symptoms. T has helped me with a relapse plan and will record and exercise for me. I have started going through paperwork relating to the accident in preperation for a compensation claim. Amongst the papers are photos both of my accident and the injuries I sustained. I haven't looked at them YET. I want to, but don't know how I will react. I spoke to T, and he says as it is me I won't take the easy way but will insist on looking at them - just to prove I can, hmmmm he knows me too well. Ts plan is that I look at them the day before our session, then I won't have too long to wait before I see him. He also suggested I bring the phoros to our session. It will be so odd not seeing him again. This man knows things about me I haven't told anyone else.

Also next week, sees the start of another round of dental surgery. This time the top molar implant work. I had the sinus lift to encourage bone growth and now is the start of the implant work. Wed 10th, a 2 hour appointment, yuck I feel sick just thinking of it. Then a week later another appointment to remove the stitches.

On 23rd August, I have an interview for the 9 hour a week job which I applied for. I'm crap at interviews, I get so nervous. I mean I know these people, I do volunteer driving for them, I know all about community transport and funding. I know the clients are vulnerable and how to deal with them in a sympathetic, friendly but professional manner. I just always blow interviews.

It is 18 months since the accident and I am still in a lot of pain and can't do everyday stuff, making beds, cleaning windows. Anything which involves my shoulders or neck. I am considering seeing my GP about being reegistered as disabled, at least have some recognition that that truck driver has left me with permanant injuries. I don't know, I feel like a fraud as I am walking and able to do some things and then I think I am not a fraud, I am injured and in pain and it is unlikely to get any better.

Other stuff is going around as well. I seem to have gone from speechless to verbal diaharrea.

Time for a shower and try and relax.
 
((((KP)))), linking arms with you, candle lite for you also. That would be a good idea to get that diagnosis of permanent disability and NO you are not a fraud. Anyone who has gotten to know you knows you are a very honest person. If you need it ... and look it's 18 months afterwards and you still are unable to do things, well then, that is disability sweetie. That accident wasn't your fault.
 
(((KP))),

You are so brave to face everything that you have. I agree with Froggie, that after 18 months and you still are limited in your activities, then you should check out the disability. I am not sure out it works in the UK, but their should definitely be some fair compensation for your loss.

BTW, you are not a Freak. I already have that title, so you will have to be Freak II, or Freak Jr. :p

I am not looking forward to taking the dogs to kennels tomorrow. I will miss them and worry so much. I hope it is easier for them this week.
 
I never make my beds. I just tell peeps we're 'airing out the linens'.... 

...and if YOU'RE a freak, well....I'm glad to be a freak, then!

This place is more normal to me than anywhere IRL....

((((Kath))))
 
Oh dear, just back from taking dogs to kennels. Max was so happy going into the car and then when we drove into the kennels his demeanour changed. He was scared, confused and reluctant to leave the car. Saffi, at least is there with him, being a clever girl and taking it all in her stride.

On their walk last night I ripped a t shirt whilst throwing a stick. I decided to take the t shirt to kennels for him to use as a security blanket. Only 2 sleeps until I get my pups back.
 
As we are both 50. If your birthday is before Aug 24th I will be Freak Jr, if your birthday is after I'll be Freak Snr

One way or the other, I'll be Mamie Freak as I'm older than both of you.

Note to Anthony : maybe change the name of the forum to PTSD-FREAK FORUM

Girls, anyone dealing with PTSD is convinced that they are freaks compared to the outside world. But we always forget that it was the ouside world that got us that way ! :eek:

((((KP)))), that is a great idea giving your Tshirt as a security blanket for Max.
 
I am afraid of sneezing or coughing, but it has nothing to do with PTSD. :geek:

I have to have a pelvic ultra sound in a couple of weeks. The letter says, drink 2 litres of fluid 2 hours before the test and ensure you have a full bladder. OMG, I will definitely be wetting myself :rolleyes::sick::eek:. My goodness talk about protection - aaarrrggghhhh
