About the Book
There are no stupid questions about epilepsy Zen milepost 1-A Detour From the "Normal Life"Gentlemen, Line Up Your Cars, Start Your Engines, Green Flag, Gun Your Engines, Go! The birth of misdiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia, panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, psychiatric issues My first neurologist, Dr. Greyson White, MD said, "I've seen these many times before, when adolescence ends your seizures will stop, ' he lied; when adolescence ends my seizures will stop, that would be 7, maybe 8 years, 7 years seemed like a lifetime and 8 seemed an eternity, so began the mounting frustration exasperation with the medico, the whitecoats-the medical establishment-and later on those damn psych people, in 2001, again in 2003, again in 2013, and yet again in 2019-although, I actually like my psychiatrist in 2019. They slapped a paranoid schizophrenia label on me and I can't shake it off. Even Jamie thinks I'm a schizophrenic that is cool and understandable, there are worse things like suicide rooms and being incarcerated in a psych ward for 5 days, been there, and done that. It just took the right woman, an attractive woman I'll add to make me spin in a 180 and become pro-psychiatry. I believe that my cousin Roberta put it best, they really had me pegged, put Don with a beautiful woman and he'll do almost anything. I'd like to revise that a tad, put Don in a room with a beautiful woman trained to listen and help out if she can and I'll talk about almost anything. But not about my dark writing. There are some things that I write that are dark and I don't understand why I'm writing what I do write. I don't know if that makes any sense to you because I just wrote it and it doesn't make any sense to me. There is a lot of cynicism in regards to psychiatry and I was the most cynical of the bunch; just how the H is talking to someone supposed to help your mental health. The thing is I actually look forward to these appointments, I don't know, maybe I just need to talk. Not much talking as the length of time for the appointment for Medicare patients is only 15 to 20 minutes. After what happened at factory B and I quit I tell classmates that I'm probably the only one in the class that retired at age 37. It sure puzzled the heck out of Roger Farmer and June Farmer, the parents of Amy Farmer, she's married now Amy Farmer Brass-worthy, hmm, Lead-worthy, nope, copper-worthy, nope, silver-worthy, not that either, Amy Farmer Goldsworthy, that's what it has to be. Some metal and worthy.I think I found a producer for a sci-fi mystery series, Alpha Force versus the Legion of death, quite a few bites on this one. Steve Hudson plays an interstellar fugitive and warrior; the Hudson Special Team Private Investigators are survivors of a nuclear war. It's an Armageddon series, neon flame, radioactivity sickness, fallout's finally reached the point that you can walk at night if you happened to survive the infernal unholy light. I've been a mysteries fan from years back, I think I read my first Agatha Christie-a mysterious affair at styles-back in 1972, that would have been 4 years before she passed away in 1976. In 2001, a misdiagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia-according to my file a history of psychoses-in 2003 a correct diagnosis of stress anxiety syndrome, and in 2013 a correct diagnosis of panic attacks syndrome, in 2019 an updated diagnosis of social anxiety. So, my shrink thinks I'm schizophrenic, I suppose that there are worse things, like being force committed to a psych ward but I'm getting ahead of myself. They can only involuntary commit you if you are a threat to yourself or a threat to others, I never said I wanted to off myself or kill somebody, even so, I spent 5 days incarcerated in a Behavioral Health Unit-a BHU is the politically correct for psych ward-met with psychiatrist or psychologist-I'm still not certain what the difference is-Erwin Rommel for 20 minutes, that was it, 20 minutes in 5 days, 120 hours, he took
