I went through sorta something like that. When l returned to work after my brain injury working so hard in therapy to be able to work again. My therapist told them what l needed to do my job. My supervisor agreed to what l needed but she did the opposite. And l can just feel something inside that was Had telling me they were going to let me go and that's what happened. I have 5 children and new car and we move in our house 2 yr. before l was sick. That when l first got depressed because l didn't know why l was fired. I was an excellent employee that after my 6month probation they wanted to transfer to another position over an employee who had been there for years and know one could understand understand why l was depressed. They after awhile l was happy again and l knew l could do anything l wanted to do. So the Lord blessed and l went to college. I knew my new career was going to begin that was in 2011. When l was going to graduate the director of the program asked my why l was doing everything audio. I told him to help with my memory and he told me if you can't remember you won't be able to work as a therapist. I cried because it took me 7yrs to get a 2yr degree and that was l fractured my ankle, called a class and other things. But God just wouldn't let me give up. I graduated in 2011 I was ready to take my test for certification. Then l tore my cal, l had shoulder surgery. I ready the next year but l kept falling. Then in 2014 l fell and was unconscious. I was put on antidepressants for years after my brain injury. When l was in the hospital in 2014 they took me off because they said l was having an allergic reaction. My family said they didn't know what was going on with me. I was put in intensive care. I couldn't remember anything and l didn't know who came to visit me. I could only feel one day l was in restraints because they said l was thrashing. It was the medication they were giving me l was having an allergic reaction. I guess because everything they were doing didn't help and l was unconscious they told my family if l didn't get better they were going to put me in a nursing home. The Lord blessed and l did get better. They said l had autoimmune encephalitis, elevated ammonia, seizures, encephalopathy and mental problems?. I had to have shunt s put in my liver. Then in 2015 l.had back surgery, 2016 from falling so much l had surgery for drop foot. The neurologist diagnosed with conversion disorder. Then when l asked my cardiologist about my liver and l told him nobody in my family had liver disease and l asked him how did l get it he told me it was from medication. And everything l have gone through they are now talking about on TV and doctors are treating people with my illness. And when you know you don't have a mental problem God always steps in. I did my research the neurologist who was taking care of me didn't read my chart that l had autoimmune encephalitis which some reaction are a little different where you act like a person who has a mental disorder and doctors will put you in a mental hospital and give you antidepressants. They diagnoses as a mental disorder when it's a disease. Then God turned me to two sites encephalitis society and autoimmune encephalitis alliance. I read an article about an attorney that they didn't believe him and they also thought it also was a mental condition but his wife wouldn't receieve that report
Then there was documentation of a young one the same as l. Everything she told of her journey l said Lord that is amazing you are showing me two people with the same stories and then in her story their was 2 more young people. When she was sharing her story we lived in the State so the o place she was talking about l knew where she went. Then she wrote a book Brain on fire. So l went to the Mayo clinic all my test came back normal and that's what they sometimes what happens to people. Then the neurologist at the Mayo clinic
ordered a PET test because all my behaviors t hey thought l had dementia. I already knew that was coming back normal because God was giving me my memory back. It came back normal. So l saw the vascular medicine doctor and he told me the shunt procedure they done was not correct and he thinks thatscwhy l was falling and hallucinating.God always put someone to give you an answer to your troubles. And l listen to the words of this song. I hope it helps you to believe he's always there. The words are. I just can't give up now. I come to far from where l started from no one told me that the road would be easy he brought me through this far not leave me. And there's a lot of people going through something and everyone gets depressed but you can get through it. Now l got my license back and my life is different now. I can help others like l was put on this earth to do. So you have to be your own advocate and don't let anyone steal your joy.
