I was invited to this guild after posting on an Alzheimer's Awareness thread.
You can call me Gallytrot.
Ehh, I myself have some problems -- a nuerogenic (no, I dunno what it means, either) bladder (I'll admit it), and I'm obsessive-compulsive. In the hand-washing department.
But I like to draw, and I'm working on a novel right now. I'm actually about to open OpenOffice. xD
My great-Grandmother currently has Alzheimer's, and whenever I talk to her I have to fight back tears, and I end up asking her if she wants to talk to my Dad instead, because I get all weak in the knees and can't risk talking anymore or else I'll end up crying, and when I cry my Grandmother cries.
If Dad takes the phone, I run to my room, curl up on my bed, and start mumbling and bawling.
I hate being that way, but...
I'm going to be joining or donating to any Alzheimer's programs because of my great-Grandmother. I'm fearful and I don't want anyone else to go through this.
Anyway, it's nice to be here with people that feel the same.

Hi Violet!
You looked like you needed a place to get a few things off your chest hence I sent you the invite biggrin
I'm sorry to hear about your great-grandmother sad it's worse when you live far away from the people that are ill.
I also know what you mean about working on a novel, I just never finish mine XD

Thank you, I'm very grateful.
Hopefully, over the summer, I will be able to visit her, but...

Violet - we are here for you <3 I'm so sorry to hear about your great-grandmother. I'll pray for you and your family.
I also have ocd, not in the hand washing department though. It's more like counting things for me. I'm currently on a mix of klonopin and abilify for it. I am weaning myself off of the klonopin though since I don't want to be on a benzo!
If you need anything, please PM me!
