My Beautiful Broken Brain

[Negeen]

Has anyone seen the movie yet? The trailer is on youtube.

Hi Negeen, no haven't even heard of it yet. Who stars in it? Are you having a good day today? How is your friend you went to lunch with a few weeks ago, been out with her again?

[Negeen in reply to SAMBS]

Hey Shirley Me and her do go out fairly regularly. The day has just begun here in the U.S. i'm crossing my fingers for a good one!! how are you feeling these days?

[SAMBS in reply to Negeen]

Thats good for you Negeen. Could do with some sunshine and warmth always makes me feel better. Have made appointment to see Doctor, its Friday morning and time to discuss results of tests I've had recently and get new prescription as some pills down to last box.Not sleeping well and been on computer to sort out lots of stuff I need to get done, so feeling like a zombie now. As someone else wrote, you have a pretty name, certainly didn't sound american, interesting to read your reply about its origin. xx

Hello Negeen.

Just viewed the trailer --- bloody depressing, too much past there and I'll bet all of us BI survivors can relate to this. However, not a film I will be seeing if I can help it. Probably do well in teaching hospitals.

I saw the documentary about Maryam D'Abo who suffered the same as this 'Lotje' and put it to film. It was interesting though.

Negeen - is your name of Iranian origins?

Cheers

[Negeen in reply to Hidden]

I'm ethnically from Afghanistan, but my mother went to University in Iran and loved it there so she ended up giving me an Iranian name.

[Hidden in reply to Negeen]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Beautiful name indeed. My alternate because I grew up in Aden, South Yemen. No P in alphabet so locals named me that.

Interesting but sadly only trailers online that I could see and unless one of the smaller art places pick it up I'll not see it.

[Negeen in reply to RogerCMerriman]

Roger, I don't think the full movie is finished yet.

Looks good but living in the rural north of Scotland I will have to wait until it's on TV or released on DVD.

just watched the trailer, sadly too much input from professionals so to me doesn't really convey the message, we all know it s perhaps one day we'll see it as a tv documentary in its entirety. There are several people I would like to understand the effects so many of us suffer from over a long period of time.Again, yes she walked and she talked its the what happened whenever after that needs conveying to those who don't understand in the here and now. I would like my family in UK to be interested enough to want to understand!

[Negeen in reply to SAMBS]

Aww Shirley. I'm sorry about ur family!! They are horrendous. But I don't exactly have a good family either.

[SAMBS in reply to Negeen]

it seems to happen to a lot of us Negeen. I guess I think its sad more than horrendous because for myself, I've learnt to live with it and get on with my life as necessary.
