  11. Twinkle I had one of those days yesterday. We all have ups and downs. I too had symptoms prior but. I think it was my working schedule. Everyday is a challenge especially depending on your deficits. You never picture yourself as "handicap" when you were younger. It does take time and sometimes you don't to hear the word TIME. I know for me I can't really remember my life before this. It's hard but ,I'm here Thankyou Kelli, Its sadly turned out to be one of those weeks.......Iv just been feeling down, had a hug argument with my husband on the weekend just gone & due to my depression/anger/emotional problems, I can often say things I don't mean & then feel really bad after, plus I often forget most of what had just happen'd, it all seems like mumbo jumbo. I have many childhood & past problems that have caused my depression on top of having my stroke. I'm getting used to how I am now, the new me & I too have trouble remembering life before but the above makes life hard, not being able to control all emotions...... but surprising to myself iv been engaging a lot more with people, instead of feeling so timid & standing back in the shadows trying not to be noticed!!! I have a wonderful husband, but I'm sure it gets all a little much at times & he try's so hard, every day in every way he can, & I just seem all messed up, 3 weeks of the month, I will be good & then I have this downer week. I am still very young & try my hardest most days to be thankful for the operation that saved my life & caused my stroke, because if not, I wouldn't be sitting here now typing this to you.......... I will often say to people, as hard as it is to say, having just a stroke was a good thing because I could of died, my odds were not good. Your reply came at a much needed time & that's what I love about stroke net!!! I have many a new topics/questions to post/ask but am a little shy.......a lot are to do with relationship issue's eg. the bedroom, life, family,kids ect............ I know we are all adults lol, but I can be a little bit of a prude at times ( so my husband says.hahaha) Thanks again for your reply, Hugs to you. Leina xoxo
  12. Hello Kelli, It seems a common thing, Depression. I too have depression & am on medication to help. I had many signs of depression before my stroke in may of 2006 but after my stroke i felling into a crazy mess & had to take anti-depressants. They do help but i still have my bad days, its hard to learning to get to know the new person that i am now, post stroke. Thankyou for your post, i found it when having one of my down days, it helped me to feel that i am not alone. hoping life gets better for all.
