That’s not the impression I got from your posts back when you were seeking support while coping with all the dx’s you used to allege you had, way back when. Your autobiographical posts gave me the impression you attended the university while on welfare or disability and recovering from a physical injure you sustained at age 32, disrupted your career as "Hoover the Mover" ……approximately 15 years ago. I got the impression your idleness and drug abuse during your recovery from the injury you sustained at age 32 (1989) led to your life spiraling downward and out of control—-til your drugging cost you your wife, kids, home, financial wherewithal, and landed you in the gutter by 1996, and a mental ward in 1997. I got the impression, that your remained NUTS even after you stopped drugging, and in 1999 your drug inspired grandiose delusion you were destined for greatness….got you dx’d as incurable—and put on permanent psych disability which you have remained on ever since. > > You did post about your being homeless and being in a mental ward, > > but, I got the impression such was for weeks or months—not for 6 > > years until you got a formal psych disability. > Correct.

sigh… you previously posted bout your being on the dole for this current psych disability since 1999 or 5 years ago—- – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> > If I hadn’t > > >have broken my arm (at work) in January (and had serious complications > arise > > >therefrom) we wouldn’t be having this conversation at all.

What you state now doesn’t square too well with what you previously shared about yourself. Linda

Good information.  On the other hand, when the drug is appropriate for an adult, in conjunction with therapy, and it works, it is a true life saver in so many ways. KC – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –
