Hi, I was doing reasonable but knocked over a glass of water tonight and went into panic/anxiety mode for a long time.
Mopped everything up and dried things but couldn't cope for hours.
Nothing seems to get better but will keep going.
Tears for souvenirs .... bon voyage,
G2
Hello "G2" and sorry to hear that you had such a reaction to that misfortune with the glass of water. I also have to be a lot more careful and although I have knocked things off of shelves and counters, at least I have not harmed myself! Yesterday's coffee machine incident was quite enough, though! I filled up the machine with water and started the brewing process, but forgot to put the carafe and coffee filter on! Hot steamy water geyser everywhere!!!
Hope you feel better and here's a pic I'm sure you'll appreciate; my sister has donkeys and she sent me some pics!! Have a "donkey-riffic" Sunday!
Take care,
OldGnome
It happens! I accidentally knocked a sandwich out of my teenage daughters hand last night. World War III erupted! All very upsetting and affected me totally disproportionately. Something I didn’t need.
I also think my porridge is starting to taste like soap powder!!
It’s a constant endless struggle but we’re all getting there it seems. Just some quicker than others that’s all.
We’ll need to stroke more baby donkeys today.
Dear Gandalf2,I absolutely understand I feel like a pressure cooker and things that never bothered me make me sob.You are not alone.Take care.
That awful panic over something small, the clumsiness that comes and goes, plus in me the lapses in concentration, are all reminders, if I need them, that things are not what they were but we are all survivors here and have the comfort there are other people who know how we feel.
Hi there,
I'm so sorry you had a tough day. I resonate with what happened. During my recovery, I've had several experiences where I dropped something or banged into something and just burst into tears!
A few months after I was discharged from hospital I went to a cafe and I spilled a full cup of hot chocolate all over me and all over the cafe table. I had to tell the staff and I was so embarrassed! However, I realized these things happen and they also happen to people who haven't been through encephalitis!
Just know, you are not on your own and we all have had experiences like this and this feeling will pass and things will get better!
I was found in the driveway not memory of feeling sick and taken to hospital. Diagnosis given and was in seizure medication given for a short time and not allowed to drive until seizure free fro 6 months. This was a hard time and not knowing it even happened or any warming. Lucky neighbour found me and called an ambulance
Can you get a diagnosis months after initial onset?
How long to heal?
How to accept or come to terms? 
Scared, upset, confused…Not sure who to talk to.
