Amnesia (NSFW)

NAS71232

When I was 14, an adult tried to kill me. I took double head stamps for a very long period of time.I should be dead. My arm broke in the assualt.

I'm 48 now and have what I think is amneisa. My mother said I was never the same after the event.

I tried to watch my favourtie films and couldn't remember the scenes. It was like i was watching them for the first time.

I'm undiagnosed with autism and ADHD. Teachers at my school told my mother to get me tested.but she didn't want to believe it, so did'nt.

I have a diverticular disease that causes me contant pain. I also have Barrett's oesophagus.

The combination of all these ailments is very debilitating. It's hard to eat.  I think I had a nervous breakdown a few years ago. I didn't recover.

I'm just taking it day by day.

When I see my GP he keeps asking if I have had suicidal thoughts.

It must have been from posts here that I don't remember and deleted.

I don't want to bother anyone. I just want to be alone. I have to sleep upright or the acid will burn my throat. I'm sorry for the thread. 

I don't need anything. I just want to be alone. The lady that did my colonoscopy said she has only seen that severity in people in their 90s. She said they will eventually have to remove a section of it. The GPs I've seen have said the polyps are nothing to worry about and everyone has them. 

I'm looking after my disabled mother. I live in her house atm. We have a few cats. We love cats.

I need to get place to stay. but I have no children so the council refused to add me to the waiting list.

As you can see. I'm in a lot of trouble.I can't focus.

I'm disabled, but it isn't diagnosed.

  • I think you should ask for an appointment with a neurologist who can help find out the lasting effects of the attack you suffered.

    Diverticulitis is extremely painfull and exhausting, you may not be able to absorb nutrients from your food properly, so you need another consultation with those doctors.

    And finally I think you need to seek a diagnosis for autisim and ADHD.

    If your GP's are unwilling to do any of this then I think you should change your GP, you are quite within your rights to do so.

    I think you could do worse than get in touch with the CAB and get them to look at your housing, benefits and help looking after your Mother.

    Thank you,

    They did start the process of autism diagnosis. but I couldn't go through with it. I know that I'm dying. There is something in my left quadrant that feels like it's going to explode. I have pain in my right quadrant too, but not as much as my left. I have to lay down on my side to ease it for hours. It gets worse after I try to eat. The fatigue from the diverticular disease is extreme. I feel like I have a hangover all the time. I've read that it is because my body is constantly trying to correct my swollen, inflamed colon.

    My mother has carers twice a day, so she will be is ok. I think my GP said I'm due for another colonoscopy next year. 

    I don't want surgery. I don't want a colonoscopy bag. It's obvious what I have to do. I don't have kids or a wife, so harm done. I'd rather not.

    Maybe I'll last a few more years. I think I can apply for help with rent for a small flat. I would rather have a council property, so I don''t have the anxiety of being kicked out. I would love to have a small garden for my plants. I have limited capability for work and work-related activity.
