Appointment. Confused.

Tue, 10/26/2010 - 19:22
Hi, I just want to keep the people up-dated.  So, I went to my appointment today, and the doctor thinks I have ADD.  I have 30 seizures a day, and, yes, some things of ADD do add up.  But Epilepsy just seems like the correct thing.  I don't know.  But I have two more EEG's to take, one this Thursday.  Need to get to the bottom of this.

Yeah.  Sometimes when I hold the door open for someone, it makes me mad when I don't get a "thank you".  So maybe I'm just trying not to hurt myself, by slipping through the door.  That way I can give them a thank you, instead of someone ignoring me, and my efforts.  That's what makes sense to me, at least.

Trent,

Sometimes it's hard to figure out where your problems end and the the other person's begin.  That's a tough one for all of us.

It's never "all your fault" and it's never "all every one else's fault" and never say never.

That's life.  Full of contradictions.  Just try to figure out what went wrong in an interaction and try something different the next time.  When things go well, try to remember that, too, so you can do it again.

We need to learn from our mistakes, but it's equally important to remember our successes.  That's how we gain self-confidence.

You should seriously write a book or something.  All of this sounds like famous sayings.
