Yes, I started my blog in October 2008. At that point my only child had been taken from me because I asked for written communication only and rejected more "mental health services." I got my son back in December. Prior to that, I've been off meds for 3 years, use only herbs and use some inhalers if I find myself wheezing. My close friend FDW used the same word, "zombie," to describe me on psych meds. 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep anpea. I use CPAP and it's not perfect, there are problems with masks/noise, but I have not experienced ANY DEPRESSION IN 3 YEARS. The shrinks for years neglected to send me for a sleep study. A few months after getting the OSA dx, i was disagnosed with 3 different sound processing disorders. Now I am a somewhat happy, peaceful hermit. As long as I stay away from noise (very subjective) I have no problems, few misunderstandings and fewer headaches. A lot of my "depression" boiled down to sleep deprivation, headaches, back aches, in other words, PHYSICAL PROBLEMS. I've posted most recently on hyperacusis-net, because i have a hearing coming up next week and I am getting ideas for presenting my case to the judge alone.

I feel very, very normal and well. And I am wondering what people really want to read....my memories of trying times, suggestions on foods, supplements...or what I am doing day-to-day. NG Thanks Jouney,
