You know - I can't help it. I am starting to get upset when I have to ask a stupid question and I feel I am treated like I have asked a stupid question.....Thing is I really don't feel like laughing. I didn't used to have to ask stupid questions. It used to be very simple for me to calculate the difference in time zones, or to make change for a dollar. I have always been exceptionally bright and never been intelectually challenged. I could always find things when I set them down and I could remember what I was doing 5 mins ago. I could remember why I took that book down off the shelf and what I was going to get from it..or the box I opened or the drawer I opened.. I very seldom put my coke in the freezer and was woken when it exploded.

You could give me a list of things verbally and I could recite them all back to you - probably backwards.. lucky if I remember one this week..

Something terrible has gone wrong with my brain right now and I am terrified. I will not get the results of the tests that they gave me in the hospital until Wed. I have no idea whether or not this will be permanent - If I will work again or what my life holds for me...so NO I am not laughing anymore when I ask a stupid question and get treated that way..But - I guess you aren't psychic out there..I haven't told everyone..so I guess I will now..Please have some patience with me...It gets even worse for me if I am frustrated or feeling embarassed or stressed. Thanks. And if you Pray..please pray that I get back what I had..that this is temporary - or that I am able to accept this new condition and adapt. Up to now I have been blessed and am grateful for that.


MIRACLES HAPPEN !!!

Sobergirl, I will certainly pray that you recover from this or that they find some suitable treatment. I read your fear in this post and although I have no idea how you feel the thought of what you discribed happening to me is scarey.

I was in chat last night when you came in and read your fear then too. I do not believe there are any really stupid questions. If you do not know something for whatever reason the only stupid thing is to not ask.

The meetings are at 7 your time except on friday. Then they are at 8 your time.

Take care, I pray that you get better soon.

Namaste..   Glenn H

Center your heart, and cultivate your spirit.

((((((((((Jannni)))))))) as Glenn said, there are no stupid questions. And as you pointed out, people don't always know what you're going through unless you tell them. I hope you can forgive things said out of ignorance of your circumstances. This site was created to be a safe haven, and we want you to feel safe and loved here. You are a welcome addition, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Janni,,,,, I wasn't trying to upset you when you asked the question about meetings the other night. My suggestion that you write the times down after we told you when they were for your time zone was meant to be helpful. My apologies

((((janni)))) hugs for you,
It can be very frustrating and scarey going through what you are going through. The uncertainty only adds to it. My prayers are with you, sweetie.  Take care of yourself.
love and hugs,
