Back. For what it's worth, I'm back.
Well, I really have not been here much responding since before I went into the hospital, and that has been over a month now. I'm getting to the point where I can stay awake for more than an hour at a time, and can even go out and move around some without totally losing my breath. In another week or so, I'm thinking I might even feel fully human again. Wonders don't cease.
Been some up and down mentally, not related to the physical. Been having lot of dreams, that are like half memories, but are incorrect memories. Like, of something that happen, but the wrong person doing it. Been having a bit more panic. Maybe that goes together, I get some energy back, I get some panic back. Oh joy. Oh well. It goes with the deal. It goes with being a survivor. I can take it.
Been dealing with some issues, as always. But for some reason, I feel mostly strong. I do fall apart some at times, when the panic goes back in. I do lose myself sometime still. But I have been dealing with it, and I will continue to. I am realizing that failure is not an option. To fail is to not live, and they took enough of my life. Fuck them. No more. I will not hand over more of my life to them. I know that I will still have the ups and downs, and I know that I will still have some negative feelings at times. But it is becoming clearer to me that they won't win. The negative will not win, it won't kill me. I am feeling for the first time in my life that I am truly 'back' from everything that happened. It's taken some 20 years, but I am back.
Now, what the hell do I do with myself??
Good night. The responding spree is over. I'll have to get the other forums on another day!
