Am I NUTS
by Bulldawg (no login)
I read a pamplet on depression while sitting in the Dr's office the other day. It stated that unlike a broken bone or a bad cold you can't see any of the symptoms. (sound like N) I was jumping up and down with joy the other day when it was decided that N was an autoimmune disease. That put some tangable substance that the "world" needs to have before they "buy in to" our disease instead of us all being lazy as $%^^. Still waiting on judgement day at work. Still being sent for another (#4 in 2.5 years) abilty to work safely exam and maybe another phsic exam to see if I'm "really" sick or just trying to "milk the system because I'm lazy" token employee. At work people treat me like I've got a sign hanging over my head saying "Don't get near, CONTAMINATED". It's took 2 and a half years for my sister to decide that I was really sick. My wife does understand and she is very much onboard with what N does to a person and how it takes it tolls on you. But I tired of telling her everything I have to deal with knowing she has a life also with all its stresses and I feel like I'm going to be hauled off to the looney bin if I say took much to other people so it really helped today just to say what I have said. Thanks guys for listening to an old dawg howl at the moon for awhile
