CHATTING TO MED STUDENTS

HI EVERYONE IT IS ME LIZ. THIS AFTERNOON I CHATTED WITH TWO MEDICAL STUDENTS. WE CHATTED ABOUT OUR DID DIAGNOSIS AND HOW IT EFFECTS US. THEY WERE REALLY NICE. THEY ARE BOTH FROM CANADA BUT THEY CAME TO IRELAND TO DO THEIR DOCTOR TRAINING. THEY ASKED A LOT ABOUT THE INSIDERS, ABOUT OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE AND HOW WE MANAGE WITH THE DID, ABOUT SWITCHING, ABOUT HOW WE COPE IN GENERAL, HOW OFTEN INSIDERS ARE OUT, IS THERE A CORE GROUP ETC. ETC. IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO TEACH THEM ABOUT DID. I GOT A LOT OUT OF IT AND I AM GLAD I DID IT. THE MORE PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT DID THE BETTER, IN MY OPINION. THEY WERE VERY THANKFUL FOR ME GIVING UP MY TIME TO THEM. THEY SAID THEY’D BE AROUND TOMORROW AND THEY MAY COME FIND ME AGAIN OR IF I NEED TO CHAT TO ASK TO TALK TO ONE OF THEM. WE’VE HAD A BIT OF A TOUGH DAY WITH FLASHBACKS, WE EVEN HAD TO TAKE 5 MG OF HALDOL EARLIER AS A PRN. WE JUST LISTENED TO MUSIC A LOT, AND THAT HELPED SOME. WE ATE BREAKFAST, BUT NO LUNCH, BUT WE DID EAT SUPPER. NOW IT IS ALMOST SIX PM AND I AM WAITING TO SEE DR. BARRY. I SWARE SHE DOESN’T EVER GO HOME. SHE’S SUCH A DEDICATED DOCTOR, DEVOTED TO HER JOB. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER TO SEE WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT OUR SLEEP AND THE MEDS FOR NIGHTMARES ETC.
