Default Life Change

I had a mental breakdown in mid March 2010. Went to hospital admited me to psych ward for battery of test. Started me on anti-dep. Unlike every other Hydro I can't sleep and have never had a headache. Anyways they over medded me one night I woke up and ran head first into a door, out cold. Now comes flurry of scans and neurosurgeons. After 40 years they diagnose me Hydrocephalus. I also have a racing mind which gathers too much info, Soooo they slow me down way down. I wake at 8am for pill that stops my shaking, 10:30 300mg anti-depresant kicks in before noon. So now I can function for a few hours till the 8am wears off I now take another. Strick time lines bed every night 10pm for nite-nite drugs.
I cannot function as before, friends and family all see big change. My wife couldn't handle it cuz she didn't understand it and we seperated. I owned my own printing company and sold it cheap and fast I can't run the big equipment my reflexes and cognative functions are below average now.
So lost my family we do talk on phone and my business.
They put me on a disability pension now.
From all to nothing before you can take your next breathe.
