Re: Thoughts on my mind...

[Guest guest]

Chantelle,

The way to find out about seizures is by having an EEG. You lay down and

they glue tons of wires on to your scalp. Then they turn off the light, ask you

questions, have you take deep breaths and then flash a terribly annoying light

in front of your face. I have had these before. I actually love them

because I love my scalp being rubbed. My other daughter, a has had them

and

she hates it because she can't stand her scalp being rubbed. There are others

we have had which were more in depth but those were for different reasons.

About the voices, you know I always have a song in my head. I have to

control it or every once in a while I will hum or sing when it isn't appropriate

It is just who I am. When I was younger I used to get in to trouble for not

listening. It didn't matter, I was just enjoying the music! Are your voices

just thoughts? If not seeing a psychiatrist would be your best bet. Patty

has Tourettes, ADHD and OCD. She has had a psychiatrist for years. Even though

we are now in MA we have kept him so far. He understands. He has done

wonders in explaining to her who she is and why things happen. He has also

taught

her some relaxation techniques. Do you have a counselor on a psychiatrist you

can see? It really would help you in times of stress. Each of us in my

family have sought help now and then. That at times has been our saving grace.

Sometimes Patty just doesn't want to talk to us, and she shouldn't have to.

Still

though she has to talk to someone. I think you just might need someone to

lend an ear and not make opinions or judgments. And that person has to be

trained in deaf/blind or CHARGE issues. Don't just go to anyone.

You are a wonderful woman. Take some time to remember you are a gift to the

world.
