I have a 3 year old son and I'm a stay at home mom. I'm working on going to college to do medical transcriptioning so that I can work from home. I'm scared and worried about what will happen. I've been told to look for signs of a stroke and I'm just worried. I have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Panic attack disorder, Fibromyalgia, and 2 herniated disks. I do have a lot of stress on me and all of the PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and Panic Attack Disorder is from an ex-husband who was physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive...I'm trying to cope with all of the stress that is going on in my life. From everything...I'm afraid of confrontation, and afraid of arguing or yelling for fear that I might go into a panic attack. I'm afraid of doing strenuous things for fear something might happen to me....I'm looking for people to talk to who have going through this before...I need support. Thank you.

I was born in May'67. My aneurysm caused Hydrocephalus. Possibly because, the aneurysm either developed in utero, or after birth. For the first eight months of my life, my head kept growing faster than the suggested percentile of growth during the first year of life. My aneurysm was clipped during my first brain surgery. I was also shunted for the Hydrocephalus. My first surgery, and the five revisions I have had so far, all happened from eight months to nine years of age. As a result of the surgeries, I also have Epilepsy. I have Depression because of all the things my health has kept me from doing in my life, and the guilt over those that have died little or no medical problems that were younger than me when they died, and/or their medical problems existing for a far shorter time prior to their death. I am not referring to people like Janis Joplin who died at 27 of a drug overdose. I am referring to people like Neil Peart. His 19yr.-old daughter was killed in a single-car accident back in 1997. At about the same time his daughter was killed, his common-law wife of 22yrs., was diagnosed with cancer and died within ten months. I have had my health problems for 44yrs.. If there is anything for me to be thankful for, it is being glad that not only were you not born with your aneurysm, that the technology exists today for getting rid of an aneurysm.
I will get off my soapbox now.
