I'm a Survivor!!!!

Thank you so much for everybody's words...yes I consider myself blessed...blessed to be physically able, blessed that I am still here,,blessed that I have my loved ones,,,and the more blessed to have found a family here at stroke net...God is good!!!....the emotional healing for me was a long long process and it was hard,,no one understood and phsychiatrist just gives you meds........ I recovered physically...but emotionally I was so sick,,ang got sicker as the day passed..I had no one to talk too,,no one undertood what I was feeling...I tried so hard to find answers...but i only found more questions..I was deeply depressed...I got hallucinations,,I heard voices,,....I was goin crazy... I was tranquilized.. and when I calmed down.. I saw myself,..and .realized.,that everyones help wont do no good if I dont help myself........so I composed myself and in the long process I found me ....I found the new me....and I found God with me.........

 

Everything that has happened to me,,to you ,,to everyone of us has a purpose...we may not know why or for what purpose but I'm sure its for the best... after my stroke and depression,,my family found each other again..my dad ended his adultery and gambling,,my mom started to act like a mom..my brothers and I got reconciled..and my family at last accepted my boyfriend. He was there all those time, during my stroke and depression,,.. and the more he loved me..

 

I preferred to forget about what happened,the stroke and deppression..for 2 years I kept silent about it,,pretended it never happened,,remembering it was too painful..and any news about or things related to stroke/depression made me shiver. I kept away from seeing people with stroke or people who are deeply deppressed... the memory of my stroke and depression scared me.......but now I decided to share my experience...

 

I am now being brave of sharing and opening up so that I can inspire somebody,,somehow,,maybe in someway I can help. Stroke now a days is so rampant and not everyone survives. I cannot just ignore that I am a survivor...I should be proud to be survivor.

hey Nancy:

 

your blog is truely inspiring. after stroke I too suffered with huge depression and whyme, and was and still trying to find my purpose. My husband says you are here with us be a best wife and best mom what more purpose you want in life. sometimes I feel fortunate to able to see that how fortunate I am in my hubby, and all pain goes away. God works mysterious way. I am so happy for you that you have found your soulmate who have stood by you in your thick & thin
