Last I heard, post traumatic stress syndrome was ranked as a mental illness. Probably for the sake of insurance, but who really cares? What that means to me is that I'm now classified as mentally ill. I prefer crazy.

Anxiety headaches are, at least for me, a symptom or warning of being overloaded with information or emotions. The feeling of dizziness comes on without warning and is typically triggered by information coming from OUTSIDE my own head. Maybe it's the kids or the spouse, the job or some other stimulus that pushes the right buttons that removes my equilibrium and overloads the circuits.

It is exact that a good deal information or an excess of material can egg on anxiety attacks, but the same is exact if we have too little information or, worse still, mistaken information. It is to a good extent like feeling without help in a swarming area.
INFORMATION ANXIETY ATTACKS is shaped by the massive gap between what we discern and what we think we should discern. Individuals at the moment now discern what they dont discern, and that makes them anxious. The result is that the majority of us might well experience that we ought to discern more than we do. With the torrent of information coming our way, we single out tiny pieces of information. However commonly we are at a loss as to what to do with them.

Borderline Blues

Blown about by winds far stronger than I,
Forever spinning and whirling, with nothing to anchor me
I spin away from those closest to me because I am empty inside.

Yearning, waiting. Forever
Waiting and yearning - to be filled, to be stuffed, by a
Needle, or a cock, or a scalpel.

I suck on fat joints the way I suck any
Man=s dick, it fills me up with something; that=s way

I learned at my first day of DD Specialty Training is that our goal is to provide a "Better quality of life" for our residents. "People are people are people are people." and "Treat adults like adults." (Even if they don't act like adults!)

Also the medical term in the 1800's for mental retardation was actually MORON and IMBICILE. Sadly even today we still live in a cruel world.
