Mental Health

I have just watched my neighbour first trying to smash her window with a hammer, then after a while of silence, with the other neighbours laughing at her, calling her names, the police arrived. He didn't get an answer upon looking through her letterbox he saw her lying at the bottom of the stairs. After a while, an ambulance arrived, the police asked us if we knew her name. Which no one did. She was eventually taken away on a stretcher, suffering a broken leg and slit wrists. I feel so saddened by this, having suffered with my mental health for a few years. Seeing my mum also suffer from this horrible condition. To think that she feels so sad and feels the only way out is this, is awful. Having heard that a friend of mine's sister recently lost her life to mental health issues little over a week ago, it's all just so heartbreaking.

I am really sore today... Aching and in pain, I am going to do dinner and have and early night. I have been reading about the connection with Fibromyalgia and PNES (which is Psycho-genic non-eleptic seizures), I have been told i have this but im not 100% sure what it is. They are also known as functional seizures. According to Google there is a conection but not sure what it is or if there is any great significance in it.

Feeling Good

I have been feeling okay for a few weeks... I woke up yesterday in quite a bit of pain, but had to take my cousin for an ante natal check up so pulled myself together, by the end of the day my knees we creaking and aching. This morning my shoulders and elbows and sore. I think i will having another flare up soon. I hope not as my cousin's baby is due in just 10 days time, I would like to be well for this event. I have been focusing on a course i will be studying from home in October and for the foreseeable future. I am doing a BA Hons in Computer Software Design. I am waiting for an assement from Social Services in order to have a shower fitted, as I have trouble getting standing to get out the bath... I also often have seizures whilst in the bath.
