Sucks but I could of got CFS mentioned in the interview if the name was shorter and more decent. I tried to say my health issues to the reporter and called it "chronic fatigue immunity dysfunction syndrome" as I hate saying chronic fatigue syndrome... only to have the reporter say the name was too long so they didnt want to include it.
So I then said chronic fatigue syndrome but I think they then gave up on that.. So they skipped that part of my issues and I think are only going to say that I have a mood disorder in the newspaper article..
Darn it.. why cant we have a decent name for the disorder!!! I cant even pronounce what ME stands for.. so wasnt going to say ME either as I was scared they'd ask me exactly what it stood for.
I would of loved for that news article to say that Ive been under severe stress due to having to deal with CFIDS without no good physical or emotional support leading to my mental health troubles including the suicide attempt which landed me in the ICU.
oh well... I did try. Real ugly photo of me it is which should be appearing in the newspaper.
(For those who didnt see my other post... we've had 11 suicides of young ones in my area in past 6mths so it was a community gathering to call on better support services in our town. It takes 2.5 weeks to often see a doctor here and 2 mths to get in each time with ones psychologist even in a crisis)
The government opposition health person was there but I didnt have time to complain there on the government health polices and the towns health crisis but I did manage to get that reporters interest to protest about the lack of counsellors and psychologists here.
Fingers crossed that that is going to bring more emotional support for people who need it into my town.
