[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 408611, member: 1514"] I have to say that while I dont have schizophrenia after my bout with meningitis I have a deep respect for those that do. I now know what it is like to live with those delusions and paranoia, even if I only did it for a short time. I actually still have some residual traces that pop up once in a while. Now its more of a feeling of intense anxiety though. However when I was in the coma and coming out of it, I was truly delusional and paranoid. I really didnt know what was real and what wasnt. Heck, I was completely convinced I was pregnant with twins! There was a whole ton of things I was convinced of. I thought I was walking back and forth from the hospital to my house. I thought I had two rooms in the hospital. I thought Tony was going out at night and getting into bar fights and getting locked up then showing up on those judge shows on TV...lol. I was convinced I could see him leave at night and see him getting pulled over by the cops. I thought Jamie arrested President Bush for having too much Dr Pepper in his car and then the secret service came down and arrested Jamie...lmao. The list could go on. The whole time I was so agitated because I was helpless too. I couldnt speak hardly at all. I couldnt form coherent thoughts or sentences so anyone could understand me. I thought I could walk and no one could tell me differently. I couldnt figure out why they wouldnt let me go to the bathroom even though I had a foley in and that just made no sense to me. I wasnt aware enough to figure out the whole bed pan thing. That was simply beyond my cognitive skills. They wouldnt let me go to the bathroom and they told me I had this thing in me to make me go...so I just didnt understand. It boggled my mind. I was a real mess there for a while. The nurses hated me but I simply didnt understand. I hope I never go back to that and I feel so badly for anyone who lives in that state day in and day out. I would be taking any medication out there to fix it. The first words out of my mouth when I could actually make sense where "where are my medications?" [/QUOTE]
