POST TRAUMATIC PATHS: CANADA, WAKE UP

January 5, 2009

CANADA, WAKE UP

Although Jon Stewart loves to giggle about us, Canada really IS in a serious 'constitutional crisis' due to lack of confidence in the parliament that was formed in Oct. 2008. The leader of the Liberal (Democrat) party was airlifted out in late November (see: Sarah Palin) and the new guy - intellectual, academic and as exciting as past is at his retreat finishing some book on his family roots!

So, ok - Christmas is a 'let the agenda go to hell' kind of period that goes on and on and on (esp. for politicians) but COME ON. Step up the to bat, you ding-a-ling. Get yourself ready to take over the leadership of the country- WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY. GET OUT YOUR BLACKBERRY FOR GOD'S SAKE

Is it important (Canadian politics)...Well, according to Steward, no, not really - we've got Milton-Bradley money and a Prime Minister who glues his hair in place. You may giggle now, hahaha, Mr. Stewart but let's wait and see who gets the last laugh!! Our plan to take over the world with politeness and obsequience and apathy is going forward as planned (evil laugh).

About Me

i was diagnosed with chronic and complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder in 2004. Required annual assessments for my insurance company confirm the original diagnosis. My M.D. is my constant medical support.

I am fifty-six; have a sweet family which includes my daughter and her partner and their three GORGEOUS children.

My life (since age nine) has been informed by several traumas, all of them yukky. Over time, "yuk" became my only viewpoint. In 2004, a new trauma cracked me open and there i was, surprised to find myself in "Never, Never (again will i have my old life back) Land". A nervous "breakdown", if you will; a major depressive episode requiring hospitalization.

It became clear to me that untreated PTSD is MISERY and HELL and i was living it. With a diagnosis under my belt, seeing few alternatives for treatment, I chose medication and talk therapy. Talk therapy didn't work out for me but my meds (and supports) hold me together. I continue with symptoms on a daily basis, some severe but i have made adaptations because of my illness for a better quality of life. I had almost, almost lost my mind - i never want to experience that again. and i do everything (except commit suicide) to prevent it from happening.

This is my Post-Traumatic path - to discover "me", behind all of "it". It would be nice if "it" had never happened but a life's to be lived in whole, not in part .
