Title: I feel validated. Thanks Milwaukee
Post by rickyshot on Jul 17^th, 2006, 11:28am

Y'all are hearing it again and again. The convention was wonderful. I met clusterheads for the first time in my life. I have a 22 year history and ten years misdiagnosed with a wrong tooth pulled etc. Y'all know the deal. One of my biggest things I feel so guilty about is the way I was when my kids were young. My headaches were out of control and I could not afford the meds ( I eventually became homeless). It was more than torture. I would run around the house breaking things and hitting the kids. :'( :'(
I got to talking to so many of y'all and heard the same sort of things how CH has affected our lives. I always thought I was crazy (the verdict is still not in I know) but seriously just meeting others like me makes me finally feel validated in life. Thoughts of suicide during cycles, depressions, stress from all this is "normal". Med reactions taking us to these thoughts has not just happened to me. I can't express how liberating it was for me. I am not a group person and never fit in but I feel more like family now.
