But on top of everything, my hubby just got laid off from work. I was all ready to just give my notice and then that happened. I will have to stay at this job to get health insurance. I seriously can't stand another second of the place, but I have to. Should I just keep calling in until I exhaust my FMLA? I only have about 3 weeks of it left and it has to last until next spring.View Thread





Also, during my recent episode I had some strange feeling/visual things and I wonder if these were hallucinations? I kept feeling like someone was walking up behind me but no one was there. Then I saw shadows dart by me in my peripheral vision, but nothing was really there. At the grocery store I felt like the bagger was staring me down, and I couldn't look up, but it felt like she was maliciously staring at me. When I was driving home a cop was behind me and I got anxious and wondered if he was after me because my driving was funny. I was very confused that day and making stupid mistakes and doing things and not remembering them. When I talked it sounded like my voice was coming from really far away and that I was talking really slow. Since i've been slurring my words and stumbling over my words. My thinking was so disorganized that I should not have been driving but I did anyway.
Anyways, I am now in the depressive part of the cycle, so hopefully it will go away soon. I just had a really super bad episode a couple months ago and only had 3 weeks in between. Not good.View Thread
