Hello everyone I am so sorry that there is so much time elapsed since I have last written, or saw a picture of you. Here is a small recap of the events that have unfolded in my life
January 2009 - I have started a new day program called Elliot Tri-city Day Program. At the beging I kind of new where where everything was and was able to fit right back in. This the second time I have entered the ADT program. I had difficulties dealing with the ride that MART gave me but I was able to change to a great company. I also relised that there was a great time for me and the people to have with a midday group called Spirituality. I was very scared at doing spitiituality at frist. I was so nervous that well, I did a mess up job. With a lot of encouragement I was able to lead the group successfully.
Februrary 2009 noththing much happened. I recieved a lot of good stuff. I messed up with a drinking binge and wound up in the hospital. I wound up gettting into a fight with someone named Paul and wound up just being able to stay in the hospital until I sobered up.
March 2009 I fired my house keeper and am trying desperatly to try to keep my house from going to shambles. I am so messed up angry and can never seem to finish my housework before I blow up and Tornado Amy strikes again ! !! !
April- Nothing much happens . I am pretty much stable on my medication and am going strong with trying to keep the house from being messed up.
May and June 2009 - I was in and out of hospitals. I knew that things where going to be changing and I hate change. I am so angry if there is a litttle change to my business that is hard for me to change. I got a new ride from MART they where called Client Care Solutions. They are a bunch of Rusians, mean nasty tempered men. They insisted that my time call was for 8:15am when I purposly made sure my social worker, my team, Mart, and I knew the time call was for 8:45. Which they never camed at because these Russian mean tempered men came after me at 8:15. When they could not get me to come out just by showing up at my door I would look at them and simply just go downstairs when my time call was. I got so sick by missing my nurse because the nurse would not come and the driver would not come at the right time.
The first week of the month was so hard getting a transportation company that was mean and nasty to me. Falling at Shaws Supermarket on wednesday, in which I bruised my ankle, knee, and butt. I had a Colonoscopy on Thursday which threw my back out. And my period comming on Friday. I was not able to pick up my medications or being able to take ibprofen on friday I went manic and wound up at the hospital on friday they thought I was crazy and threw me in the mental ward.
July 1 2009 - D Day Yep that is when everything hit the roof. I got a new head nurse. I got a new agency to help me help them take care of my living situations. I lost all my team members, true they where replaced with new team members but it did not mean my life did not go to par. I am a disabled individual that needs help with understanding things without getting to freaked out. My life has just been going to shit. Yesterday because I was off my drugs I exploded my temper out on an art project it is not done yet but I am really getting into it. The more injustice I see the more injustice and fuel for the fire which that of my art work. I can not wait for this piece to be finished.
So I guess I am trying to say to my Sisters and Brothers, Disabled in whatever form, please rally with me. Share your stories of hope, or your stories of injustice. You know that writing makes me feel like a need to create a group for all the injustice of the world. Maybe somebody will hear our stories and want to do something about them.

Welcome back Amy..sorry things have been so unbelievably rough for you..I don't feel I really have a story..My TBI messed with my ability to hold back emotions so I tend to "snap" quite often and when I do, I throw things..I've been throwing things a lot lately..Hope the writing helps you get it all out and feel a little better...
hi amy sorry you had a rough time hoppe things get better soon
I'm sorry to see that you've had so many challenges, but I'm pretty sure I see a statement of "I'm not gonna let this get me down" in your words. Good for you, Amy!
Thanks for posting to Fugitives from Ignorance, Conformity, and Peer Pressure
{{{HUGS}}} to you. KEEP writing sweetie. Share your crazy here. We love you and won't feel like you're nuts. If you knew half the things that went through my mind on a daily basis you'd be shocked lol. Let us be your sounding board when you are freaking out. Sometimes all you need is one other person in the world to hear you and say "I Understand" - it makes ALL the difference to not feel so alone!
