Just at the point of discovering I don't want to lie and pretend I'm normal anymore. I'm odd and that's okay.
Then I discovered this website and discovered maybe I'm like everybody else ... here.
While attending to my case after I had a heart attack a little over ten years ago, a cardiologist who did not like something I must have said told my MD he would not see me again until after I got psychiatric help (and he made a note of that on my chart) ... but then he relented when the MD told him he (the MD) would talk with me.
I now have a different cardiologist in that same office, and this new one had raised that issue with me when I first met him about a year ago ... but today I was finally able to clarify things by letting him know I have some kind of neurological disorder rather than a mental illness ... and now I no longer have to try to cover up being a bit odd.
Pretty cool, eh?!
Being welcomed here has made a tremendous difference for me in life over these past couple of weeks, and I am enjoying seeing the same happening for you, Ginger!
