Insanity. Part 2.

This is the second part of the story of Insanity.
After this post i will continue posting alot more.
Writing about me, myself and things around me in my world.
My storys about thoughts and aspects about living, illness and daily life.
I wanted everyone to know that even if its hard, dont give up.
Giving up just makes it even worse for others to help you.


Part 2 - Insanity

So there i was as low as a person can get. Rockbottom. Lifeless.
I feldt like a walking ghost. Empty. Blank. Like i ment nothing at all.
To do anything was just pointless. So i sat there, staring at the wall all days.


Everytime my mother came by with her worries about me, id put on a mask.
Told her that "Everything is fine". I always did.
Answered all her question, with answeres she wanted to hear.
Answeres i told just to get her out of my apartment, so i could vanish again.
For a long time my mom really belived me, that everything was fine with me.
For a long time i fooled everyone around me, but it didnt take long before it got noticed.
Noticed that i actually was the opposite of fine, i was in horrible shape.


It was when i started to ignore everyone.

As i was feeling the most down, i shut down myself completley.
Didnt eat, hardly sleep, didnt walk out the apartment. Rather starve then go outside.
I lost track of time, track of days, weeks. And i didnt care about it.
I didnt care about anything, not even myself or my own health.
When the phone called, i just looked at it. When the doorbell rang, i just sat there in silence.
I never answered, i never opend the door for anyone. I wanted them to forget that i existed.
Even my closest friends gave up on me after constantly trying to reach out for me.
But one person didnt give up, one person refused. One person i will thank forever.


My mother.

She tried so hard over and over, and in the end she broke into my apartment.
At first she just stood there, yelling at me, furious with an anger ive never seen.
I didnt care, she could yell as much as she wanted, for me i didnt exist at all.
But it wasnt til she looked straight in my eyes and said:
"I dont care if you die, but atleast fight til you do"
she got to me.
From a blank face i started to cry, like a ocean of feelings bursting out in a snap.
I knew that moment, that i should not be alone. And that i was heavily depressed.
And i had no love of taking care of myself or my surrondings.


I moved in with my mom temporarly, she forced me to eat, forced me to sleep.
She was gentle but with a hand of iron. She didnt let me evolve myself to a stone.
Constantly trying to prove that its worth living. Make me feel something good.
Trying to stop me beeing a ghost. Trying her best to make me smile.
Cooking my favorite food, just to watch me move it around on the plate.
My will of living had come back, but my will of beeing a ghost still existed.


And it was after that i started to see
her.

My psychologist. I had got to that point that i knew i wouldnt survive without help.
And i refused to let any doctors talk to me, it was those that made this happen.
My mom made the call, booked he appointment, and even drove me there.
I had no clue of what to say or how to act in such a session. I never been there.
I had never classified myself as insane before. But now when i was insane, i needed it.


As ive been treated like garbage with anyone else in the medical areas,
my expectations was that she would do the same as the others.
To remind me how pathetic, worthless and useless i were.
It ended up clearly the opposite. Before she even met me, she had read threw my journals,
Talked to my mom several times, my doctor and staff from the psycho house i was trapped in.
Before i even opend my mouth to talk with her at that meeting,
she knew what was bothering me, And she knew exactly what to say and what to do.


And it all started with a cup of coffee.

Her room was not like the rest of the hospital, nothing was white.
Sitting there felt like sitting in someones living room, like i was in someones home.
All dressed up with a funky set of clothes and a strange haircut. Nothing i expected either.
She looked like one of those crazy persons you could meet on the streets. Seriously.
I didnt say a word when she showed me into her office. I didnt want to.
But then she said something that confused me and got me curious at same time.
"Im bored of this day, so im getting myself some coffe,
and one for you aswell but with soyamilk right?"
I couldnt get a word out, frozen by surprise. So i just nodded and she ran out.
Leaving me all alone sitting in the most strange office ive ever seen.


I think she planned that right from the start. To dazzle me.
Or just to prove that someone had not forgotten me, that someone cared.
It didnt take long til i asked her how the heck she could know about my allergy.
She told me that she had looked in journals and cheated by talking to my mom alot.
Silence came, and then she started to talk about that ive gotten treated horrible.
That no doctor in the world should have done what mine done to me.
That everyone needs to listen to me, and start listen fast.


The drastic change.

After that first meeting that had continue for hour and hours, i felt like my old self again.
The vicous blood seeking crusher i am. The one that never gives up, no matter what.
To finally have someone behind my back in this sickness drama made me thirsty for blood.
Not only blood, but revenge, payback, and a end to all this crap that happend.
I was angry. And i was heading for one direction. I wanted heads to roll.
But before i would go on my frenzy hunt, i knew i needed some help, psychologist help.
For the first time in months, my head was talking sense into me.


The next appointment was just the day after the first. We booked the whole week in fact.
She knew something was fishy about how they been treating me.
Not to give up like i had done, to get to the bottom of my sickness ive been having a year.
So she started to make some digging. Asking me alot of questions regarding it,
and looking closely to my journals. And suddenly, she dug up something totally irrelevant.
She had a hunch, but i personally think that she has a super sense or power.
So she sent me to a specialist. I trusted her so i went.


Specialist was exactly the same.

All funky dressed and a sunlight smile on her face. With a office all in purple.
By now i started to think that ive been seeing totally the wrong doctors in my life.
She explained to me shortly about this beeing a totally diffrent investigation.
And that tests needed to be done fast as lightning. I was not used to this.
I was used to denial, ignorance and doctors that did not care at all.

So after the tests were done, she smiled at me and said "I knew i was right!".
Then she started to explain that i shouldnt be worried, and that there was medication.
She thought i was going to get sad or worried. But i only smiled and got happy.
It felt like a weight got lifted of my chest. A huge weight.
"Were 100% sure you got ADHD" That moment i will never forget.
Im even proud about having it. Im proud of my ADHD.


But the battle just started.

But the biggest problem was still there. The battle with my doctors.
The battle of my body, my aching, my pain, my illness. The battle of my riddle.
I was now stronger in my mind then ever. I wanted to fight. And so i did.
This was just the start of a massive war.

Insanity. Part 1.


I have not been typing anything in this blog for quite some time now.
And i had a good reason for that aswell.
Everyone around me knows ive been sick.
Well not dying dying sick, but cleary so sick that i cant do much for the last year.
So reason why im typing just this day is that my doctors finally knew whats wrong.
So i want to type abit of the story first:
Ive been struggeling with those bastards (as in bastards = doctors).
Way to long now ive yelling and crying in anger to many times.
When they repetedly told me that they didnt know what was wrong.
That they time after time ignored me as a patient,
that they didnt even give me a good try.

Part 1 - Insanity

I remember one time last year, after having a heart scan and alot of blood tests,
i met up with my doctor, and then he dropped the bomb:
"Hey, it seems like your in perfect shape" .. PERFECT SHAPE i thought.
I waited a moment to try to think out what to say, anger was building up in a rapid speed.
And then i saw him sitting there with a dumb smirk on his face,
and saying "Ull be fine, your young" I freaked out, like reeaally freaked out.
Not freaked out as in "im so freakishly afraid right now"
Freaked out like "Yelling furiously and throwing chairs around" and yes, that was what i did.
Ive been in perfect condition whole my life, and after a flu in the beginning of 2010,
my body broke down. I couldnt walk up a normal staircase without almost fainting.
So i had a good reason to freak out.


So what happend then?
Well i said alot in my uncontrolled anger, like:
My doctor talking crap and that he is a joke, that he dont deserve to work or get paied,
that he was pathetic not listening to me as a patient, that he needs to make this fixed. NOW.
They hadnt even tried to figure out why my body is acting like a 80+ old sick lady at that point.
Then in end of the convo (well i was yelling, he was more afraid of the situation)
I said "If you say im in perfectly good shape now, id rather get hit by a car and die"
His smirk on his face that had turned to fear, changed drasticly again to something else.
A face of worry, that he was almost in panic about something.
A feel of that he needed to do something fast.


What do you think he ended up doing?
Well, most of the doctors would act like:
"Omg, this girl is clearly having problems with her health,
i need to help her solve this health issues as fast as possible!"
A doctor with a heart and love for his patients would try to help, to try harder to find the problem.
My doctor was alot diffrent then that, he had no heart, or love for anything it seemed.
He just had one conclusion about me right then:
"This girl is crazy and suicidal, lets lock her up in a padded room"
And so he did. I got locked up at the pshycho house for having pain and muscel problems?
So i ended up at the psycho place at the hospital. Thank you doctor.


For those that knows me well, know that i have since i was small, tiny, young have one problem:
I got Nosocomephobia - fear of hospitals. I have no clue why i have it.
Also i have a weird twist of it, its not ALL the time. Ill give you an example:
I can visit sick friends or family or even just walk tru the hospital (shortcut) with no problems.
I can't even get thru the doors without panic, if i have to go there for the reason about ME,
So if i get in an accident and ends up at the ER with massive injuries,
well id panic so hard id jump out thru the closest window. (Even if its on the 3rd floor)
If i get inside a hospital, i would do anything to get out in panic, i blackout and hit myself out.


And to force one to stay inside the hospital against their will.. well thats smart?
So now you know the problem i would need to face, due to my doctors ignorance.
He was 100% sure i was just making up all my troubles for fun, that i was clearly insane.
And that i was a risk not only to myself, for the people around me thanks to my anger.
Now in afterwards i feel like getting so angry at the doctor at that point was only GOOD!
I had for months and months just been told that its okey, that ill be better, that im fine.
And for months and months ive been sitting there calm and asking polite things.
I had been pushing the doctors to solve my problem in a nice way.
And nice, is not always good. Atleast not in the situation i was in.


So i got locked up, the panic i couldnt stop, came. I tried all i could to stop it, but it took over.
And so the staff there also thought i was insane. I had constant panic i couldnt control.
Those days in there are the worst days of my life so far, and will be worst ever til i die.
I tried to explain for them that i was not insane, that it was my phobia.
And all they did was nodding to me and said: "Of course" with a smile.
I hated the staff, they didnt listen, they didnt care, ignorance all over again.
I gave up, i broke down. I feldt like there were no reason to fight anymore.
Should i face the fact that maybe i am really insane?


A week or so went by, and suddenly i got let out.
Cus at that point, my mom had forced the chief of staff to look at my
hospital journals, were it clearly stood: Has a huge phobia for hospitals.
My mom had tried to explain, yelling, begging to everyone in there about it,
the psycho staff, the doctors didnt listen. And all she got was the same:
Ignorance. Ignorance to not even look at a paper, ignorance to find out the truth.
Ignorance over the fact that i wasnt insane. Not giving a moment to check.
She had been told over and over again that she needs to understand,
that her daughter is insane. And that this lockup was just good for me.
"It's just Good for her".


There i was in the free world again, but i had changed.
I didnt smile, i didnt wanna do anything.There were nothing that i wanted to do.
Why bother with anything, all i got so far was getting ignored. I was invisible.
So then, i finally was depressed and a fear for my own health. Thanks to them.
To be treated like i was treated, would get anyone depressed. To get beaten down, mentally.
To struggle to hard with life, and then get tripped over and laughed at. Pointed at.
Placed in a folder, A lying folder, insane folder, mentally ill folder, Ignored folder.


Everyone saw that ive lost my will of living.
Before this happend, i was sick but i was strong and never wanted to give up.
I would have done anything to get this sickness to go away, I had been a true fighter.
But now, i was just something that wanted to be useless, ignored and forgotten forever..
Marked myself as insane. I gave up.
