DSM3KIDZ Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 August 23, 2004 I closed my eyes and went to sleep happy and healthy. Aug 24, 2004 I opened my eyes and my life has been forever changed. What happened in those 8hrs I will never understand. I close my eyes every night real tight hoping that when I open them it will be Aug 24, 2004 and this is all just a bad nightmare. When I open my eyes in the morning and realize nothing has changed my heart aches and I search for even the smallest improvement but none have yet to be seen.When will I get my life back? Will I get my life back? Maybe I'll never know but what I do know is that I have done everything I could to make myself feel better and still have no success. Now it's out of my hands and I'm writing this to let everyone know that from this day forward I have to just let it go. I have to accept my life the way it is and try to "bloom where I've been planted". It is definitely going to be the HARDEST thing I have ever done. At least now when I go to sleep I can close my eyes and know what to expect when I open them this way I no longer have to have my heart broken over and over again.Thanks for listeningDayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sonotech Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Dayna,I really enjoyed reading your post, but I am sure that it is really hard for you to accept the change. Sounds like you are still trying to convince yourself that you are "ok" with your "new" life.I think that it is ok to NOT be ok with your new life, but to just learn how to cope/deal with it. I think a situation like YOURS must be more difficult than someone like me. My dys symptoms progressed over many years and has gotten worse each year. I cannot IMAGINE going to sleep fine, and waking up the next day afflicted with this illness....it must be a shock!! I really hope that because of your sudden onset that you may have a higher chance of a full recovery. I think that you must continue to have hope for a full recovery, and never lose that hope!!

Guest dionna Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 sounds just like me except the date was August 1, 2004... i went to sleep in my rack, then i woke up August 2, 2004 at 0500 went to pt (physical training), came back for a quick shower and then to a promotion ceremony. that is when my life changed, just before breakfast.i am still trying to convince to myself that it is okay and all i have to do is "adapt and overcome" like the marine corps tells/taught me.dionna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
