Depression or Anxiety or BOTH

March 27, 2008

May I ask...has everyone had Depression or Anxiety on exposure to

MOLD? Can everyone share, if they've had either upon their known

exposure... if it's not too diffacult

I most certainly know that I had Extreme Anxiety and Post Traumatic

Stress Issues ... and I think I have said before, it was like I was 1

huge exposed nerve...irritable and sensitive.. but I wasn't the only

one... My entire Department was The same. One Temp. Girl that helped

out for a few weeks as a front desk receptionist, said she had never

seen a whole Dept. that was so stressed out and irritable. She made

the comment also that, " It was like everybody wanted to RUN OUT OF

THERE! She said she hoped she never had to help out in my Dept again.

And funny thing... she told me this as I was checking out of the

Psych. Dept.

As I kept going from Dr. to Dr. saying something was wrong, but not

knowing what the problem was, they labled me as depressed! I kept

telling them NO I'm NOT DEPRESSED, there's something WRONG! and I'f I

was depressed, then my whole Dept. was depressed! Then they would

tell me, " We can't do anything about them, we have to teach you how

to COPE. I was so frustrated knowing something was wrong. Then, at

the same time while going to Phych, just a few weeks, I lost all of

my muscle strength and was referred to Rheumatology and " labled " with

Fibro. I thought huh? What the heck is that? I then learned most

Fibro people have MOLD in common. OMG!!! MOLD? My co-worker and I had

discovered a HUGE area of MOLD in our very small workroom, behind a

movable cabinet. The discovery was in Feb. 2007 and by July 2007, I

had become compltely Disabled. I had no idea Mold could create TOXINS

that could make you sick...ARRRRG... and my employer told us we had

to work in that room but not put any Patients in that room. It took

them 3 weeks to cut that piece of wall out and patch a new piece in.

I remeber opening up the door and BIG chunks of mold would drop to

the floor with a poof of dust, as it hit. ahhhhhk
