I need to share something in lieu of Robin Williams passing..I Never wanted to admit that I suffer from severe depression..I grew up educated..and very talented. .but the brain is a dynamic organ that controls your every thought and every movement. I used to be told to suck it up..you will get over it..and keep going forward. .Yet no matter how hard I would try..it always felt like I had to prove something in order to be chosen or even acknowledged..Im not mentally challenged..yet at times I was treated that way..Pharmaceutical companies make millions from poor patients who, like myself need help just to be able to function. I used to think if I had more money. .prayed daily. .and aligned myself with people who are as creative and the will to want I would be ok..but over the years. .stress built a home in my head..life challenges that seemed workable. .was slowing me down. .the loss of families and close friends that left too soon..sucked the life out of me..Depression is not just something you get..I dont believe anyone would want to feel anything close to what I go through..then to later in life be diagnosed with something similar to what took my Sister away..was gut wrenching. .There is No cure for pseudo tumor celebri..it can be controlled. .but once again the pharmaceutical companies and doctors benefit. .because I have to constantly change prescriptions. .and do different therapeutic routines. .mostly now. .im confined to my bed..sensitivity to light..noise. .temperature. .etc..it takes your life away..dizziness. .fainting. .nausea. .and debilitating migraine pain. .would make a person want to end their earthly life. A persons financial status has absolutely nothing to do with the diagnosis. .and one method does not fit all..I continue to fight..to push for my life..to make my contribution to this world..I have had to learn patience. .and humble myself before GOD..Im not lazy..nor have I ever been a quitter. .im in the fight of my own life..each day I awake is a GOD GIVEN GIFT..each time I can have at least a painfree moment. .Amen..I pray for Everyone who suffers with any conditions and I ask those who dont know or dont understand. .to just pray for healing..not prey on the sick and determined by judgment. .Sharing with Love Life and Respect to All~Yvette D.
