My heart is so sadden by the news that we lost a great TN Brother, Matthew Tabb. He was one cool guy! I chatted with him a lot last fall when my TN was at its worst, and just the little things we talked about would help keep my mind off my TN. I'm heartbroken because of his loss.
The last few months I've been struggling with depression & anxiety...lots of crying & weird and crazy thoughts run thru my head. Some days I'm at an all time high, laughing literally uncontrollably. Actually that only happened once at work in the past few weeks. The rest of the days have pretty much been a bomb. I'm seeing a great lady who is trying to get my mental health medications all straightened out. I know it takes time, but I feel like a ticking time bomb some days and I'm about to blow. I cannot be crying this much anymore! I'm curious, if any of my Trigeminal Neuralgia friends suffer with this type of depression & anxiety? My TN is pretty much under control right now with Oxcarbazepine 600 mg twice daily! One positive thing in my life right now. But there has to be some connection between my TN and my mood. I will be having further testing done, hopefully soon, in order to figure out an exact diagnosis.
I know there are only 1 set of footprints in the sand right now, because Jesus is carrying me.
