Emotional Disability
Being emotionally disabled can be very embarrassing at times many people just don't understand why you can't stop crying my young children said my mom has the crying disease I wasn't always disabled nor did I want to be I didn't always except it either it took a while of suffering actually afraid to leave my home severe anxiety panting panic attacks I didn't know why until October 31st 1999 at work a table fell on my foot sound was trapped in a bubble I began to hear very loud heartbeats coming from my belly i was diagnosed with PTSD depressive disorder anxiety disorder panic attacks severe depression unaware this was just the beginning of my disability hearing my fetus heartbeat was the guilt of wearing wires pregnant for the fbi buying weapons and drugs all those years in bondage of the fact my ex husbands actually did work for ciro gargano settings blazes that resulted in 9 people dying for years I woke up smelling smoke hearing screens reliving fbi questioned what do you know about arson I never heard that word before fire the abuse I suffered my ex trying to silence me with beatings my wearing the wires was supposed to save my life my children lives as time went on I remembered more only writing in a journal never speaking suffering depression anxiety disorder fear of leaving the house the worse hearing my fetus heartbeat pounding louder than sirens at anyrate Chaplin services and eeoc disability rights took good care of me desperate going to grocery stores I had to write every serial number on the bills looking for threats hidden messages on the bills this behavior stemmed from my wearing wires pregnant buying weapons and drugs the irs fbi marking the monies then I'd cry in front of the cashiers embarrassing i felt so awkward finally time to cross the street I froze afraid to cross the street I would walk miles around out of the way to get home I could only walk down one direction no sudden changes to get to church some people noticed I was different and I hated that what if I had another panic attack in public so I was held hostage by my on mental illness I am grateful today veteran crisis chatine saved me from walking in front of a bus I just didn’t want to live this way or be a burden so I wanted to die end this brutal disease why can't I be normal I was sure pretty enough I believe the fbi agents were ashamed of my illness perhaps they expected me to come out of those hostage situations alive unharmed but I was the biggest casualty I was broken I could still smell smoke I could still smell the breath of the killers decades later panting crying weeping today I have the best care and medication management I'm no longer ashamed of my disabilities nearly three decades now physical disabilities are more excepted however being emotionally crippled you feel alone isolated I have peace now and I want to live I embrace my disabilities
