My biggest problem now is my own slow deterioration and the lack of understanding of my siblings and children. SS turned me down for disability so I have a pro bono lawyer now. I have been diagnosed with panic disorder, depression, and generalized anxiety. My psychopharmacologist thinks now that I may have right temporal lobe epilepsy as well. I also get migraines, have mitral valve prolapse, acid reflux disease, chronic sinus infections, heaven knows what else. My parents, brother, and sister have all been diagnosed with depression and my mother with anxiety as well. One of my children has been diagnosed with depression and the other with ADHD. What a mess.
I have been divorced for 11 years and I feel as though I have had a series of mini-breakdowns through the years. Could this be so? I can't produce in a job anymore. I can't concentrate or keep track of things. I lose time, sometimes whole days. I walk in my sleep and do things in my sleep, like ordering things from infomercials or changing where I keep things so when I wake up I don't know where things are.
I am trying to find out as much as I can about right temporal lobe epilepsy and its diagnosis. So if anyone out there knows a good Web site or just has information, I'd really like to hear it. Thanks.
