Re: Topper's bizzarro's from years past

[Guest guest]

You better not call the guys with the butterfly nets!!!

I look back at this stuff with humor, now that I understand the reasons that it occurred. That I wasn't crazy, that it was the mucked up thyroid.

How about driving out into the country during a blizzard, sub zero windchills and snow so thick you could hardly see. Downing three bottles of sleeping pills, stripping naked and walking out into a field and laying down.

..... to wake up the next morning with a bright and beautiful sun, snow drifts everywhere and feeling like it was the first time in years that I had a good night's sleep and then trying to get back to my car before anyone spotted me all naked! With no frost bite or any sign that I'd not slept the night away in a comfy feather bed.

Unable to bear the heat during a bad heat wave one summer and packing up my stuff to go to a swimming beach that I knew. I grabbed the square seat cushion float thing I used in my canoe and swam out a ways. I just got comfy in the cool water and layed my head on the pillow and rested... I woke up several hours later to all kinds of hollering on the beach I'd drifted a LONG ways out. I'd slept so long like that that I'd actually blistered my back.

My libido, at one point during my hyper years, accelerated to the point where I started writing porn. It must have been pretty good... My dad, YEARS later had a printout on the counter in the kitchen. I just happened to glance at it and notice the title, then read the first paragraph. It was one of mine. *BLUSH* NO!!! I did not tell him I wrote it!!! I run across them on occasion. Parts of them being passed around as emails.... I wrote those under an alias, so don't go looking for them....

Tongue cramps so bad that I was unable to speak. Can you imagine being with someone that you dont' know well, and especially when it was a client.. and suddenly unable to form any words at all?

Running the air conditioner in a vehicle to keep the windows from frosting up with humidity.. while the outside temps are below freezing... cause you can't handle turning on the defrosters cause they gave off too much heat.

I had pretty good musculature before the storm. I was a body builder. I had met a feller through work (I was a truck driver at the time) that had been positioning himself to be around me when ever I was at his company for pickups. It took him six months to work up the courage to ask me out.. it developed into a relationship and as time passed we became intimate. My first time in bed with a man for many many years, and, well... at a rather inopportune moment I had my ankles pressed against his hips and, well, did a leg extension... he ended up a couple of feet off the bed with a VERY surprised expression on his face!!! Hanging there, suspended in the air, looking down at me. It wasn't long after that that my first signs of thyroid storm began... He was the one that first noticed the muscle twitching. He claimed that it was so bad that I was making the water bed move with just my twitching muscles.. he'd lay awake, watching me sleep and twitch.

My boss walking up behind me once in a warehouse, I didn't hear him coming and he touched my shoulder to get my attention. I swung around and punched him in the chest, knocking him back about ten feet and landing him on his butt.... I was in storm then.... I had warned every body about being careful not to startle me.... he apologized and was just laughing like crazy.... This was the same boss that had spotted my sudden weight loss. Causing me to go to the doc, the one that said nothing was wrong and to go home.

Making deliveries in summer weight uniforms with no jacket, gloves or hat in sub zero weather. Shoveling snow for neighbors in T-shirt and tennie's, no gloves, no boots, no jacket. Barbecuing on a Smokey Joe Weber while shoveling snow. Geez... setting up a chair in my driveway and sitting out there with a lap blanket so I didn't look like a total moron and read... with 3 feet of snow on the ground!

Not only surviving on no sleep but still working a delivery job and working over time for months. It's amazing how much you can get done when you don't sleep. I still had insomnia when I came here.. I went the first year on an average of 4 hours of sleep a night, and that sleep was broken. I did a lot of studying and exams during that period of time, cause I had so much time to burn. It was done in a lot of pain, though.. so it's not really a good thing. I much prefer proper sleep and healing to having that extra 4 hours of time a day.

Being asked to get off a bus because I was stumbling so bad from fatigue and exhaustion the driver thought I was a fall down drunk. That was during my non medicated hypo years.

Going to bed at night hugging a two liter pop bottle filled with ice to keep cool.

Crying during EVERY single episode of Little House, Touched by an Angel, Hiway to Heaven, The Waltons and countless movies.

Going to a park with my Hibachi grill and a family pack of pork chops.. the kind where you have two dozen chops... Firing up the grill, that holds about three chops at a time.. having someone come by just to pass the time, a stranger... and having them ask when the rest of the folks are showing up and how I plan on feeding everyone when I can only grill three at a time? And never admitting that I would be eating them all....

I have to crawl back out of my head.. finding too many things in there that should be thrown out, but I dont' know where my delete key is.....

Hey... I hung my laundry up... aint' anybody else gonna?????

A thyroid storm is when the thyroid over produces to the point where the body just can't take it. If you don't get enough food into you your body starts to eat itself. The heart is pumping so fast that it's at risk of heart attack/over exertion even at rest. You breathe so fast you almost sound as if you're panting. Skin thins to the point where things like elbows can be seen clearly through the skin. Period stops. Your body is pumping out so much heat that you pretty much want to live in a freezer. Mind will NOT shut off. The list goes on.

At that point you have to stop it. Depending on just how fast the body is running the only option is RAI. You can't survive surgery or wait long enough for medication to slow it.

Now... I want to hear some more bizzarro's even mild ones!!!!!

I'm one of the few that was hyper for 20 years.. and one of the fewer that went on to go into thyroid storm... but you guys have to have done some goofy stuff!

Hi Topper

Yah I guess you did hang out the laundry. I went and searched

for thyroid storm and can see that it is very critical... I thought

I had been pretty bizarre the past couple years but I feel

better.

I don't mind hanging out my laundry... but fortunately mine was not

that critical... mostly just stuff that made me think I was going

nuts. I would cry for hours on end... over NOTHING... and also fall

apart all over my best friend frequently. Even though I am actively

involved in my church outreach and stuff... and love it and have

wonderful friends... became so ridiculously insecure that I felt no

one wanted to be around me and have begun holing up, not being

social, just " coping " and not always very well. And I am generally

very outgoing, talk to everybody I meet, etc.

I didn't go out and run around naked anywhere -- just mostly

became an emotional roller coaster and wreck. I HATED it!!!

Hi Topper

Yah I guess you did hang out the laundry. I went and searched

for thyroid storm and can see that it is very critical... I thought

I had been pretty bizarre the past couple years but I feel

better.

I don't mind hanging out my laundry... but fortunately mine was not

that critical... mostly just stuff that made me think I was going

nuts. I would cry for hours on end... over NOTHING... and also fall

apart all over my best friend frequently. Even though I am actively

involved in my church outreach and stuff... and love it and have

wonderful friends... became so ridiculously insecure that I felt no

one wanted to be around me and have begun holing up, not being

social, just " coping " and not always very well. And I am generally

very outgoing, talk to everybody I meet, etc.

I didn't go out and run around naked anywhere -- just mostly

became an emotional roller coaster and wreck. I HATED it!!!

Sounds like you've had your share of fun in the bizzarro world, too!!! Isn't it fun? Your brain and emotions, at the time, think it makes perfect sense... and now, looking back... 'what was I thinking!!!!'

I'm hoping that I never get that whacky again, that's for sure!!!

I rather like the thing with the baseball bat... reminds me of something else that I did that was pretty 'extreme'. I was working at a company where there was some 200 guys and two women, me, in my late teens at the time, and a gal in her 60s... one of the guys made a dildo for me.... on a six foot handle and dipped it in a jar of herrings and put in in my office. Well.... when he got off work the following night he walked out to his truck. I had PLASTERED it with Playgirl centerfolds and signs that said Honk if you want me!!! Took him forever to scrap it all off the truck... but it was more than a year before anyone hassled me again!

Trust me... you dont' want to go into storm.. the worst part for me was the starvation. My body was burning calories at such a high rate that I was taking in some where between 25 and 30 thousand a day and still not able to maintain weight... I was still average a good pound a week. Scary...

And the brain... it never shuts off.. the paranoia... the panic, the terror... it's like you know that your body is going to explode, and for me.. the doc saying that I wasn't sick, implying that I was imagining it.. that I needed to lose weight... to 'enjoy' it. So you lay there with your heart pounding three times faster than it should.. starving yet eating so much that you can't sleep because you have to stay awake to keep eating.. and wondering just how crazy you are and how to make it stop.

I don't even want to think about what that time was like... it's my worst nightmare.

I getting pretty hermit like myself now.. part of that is the house rules here... part of that is that I'm still in a place in my life where I'm sick and tired of having to justify the limitations that I have to others.... I keep hearing how they think I've been milking this long enough now, just drop it....

To give them just one day in my skin... to find out what if feels like.. then tell them that every time I over do.. or like now.. going without enough sleep (only two more nights to go..... ) and how horrid your body feels.. and it just doesn't stop...

I remember what it was like to have a very hectic, busy, physical day... crawling into bed and sleeping like a log and waking up the next day feeling like it had never happened.. that is what life is like for 'normal' folks.. they have no idea what it is like to have a day like that and then feel like you'd been hit by a mac truck for the next month while your body struggles to recover...

My fear now... what if my body will continue to have these major setbacks due to all those years of being undermedicated and then being without meds... what if I'm just that broken now and I'll never get it all back?

*sigh*

I'll just have to find a way to get myself in a location where I dont' have the set backs... These crashes that I've been having since spring all revolve around this house.. being told to do things that I tell them that I can't do without consequences.. and now the sleep thing.... One individual's right to watch the olympics with the volume cranked and having no concern over what that behavior may cause to someone else. She kept dosing off in the kitchen yesterday.. I kept waking her up.. she mumbled about how she was tired and needed sleep... so.. this time, rather than being nice like I have been.. I gave her what for... Basically don't tell me that you're tired because you chose to stay up to watch tv ... I'm tired because you don't give a crap about turning the damn thing down so that I can sleep. So then she says go take a nap... fine.. you gonna shut the damn tv off so that I can?

No....

Then don't whine to me that my doing chores is keeping you awake... sleep at night.. or go in the bedroom and sleep... or you can wash the dishes!

arrrrgghhhhhhh

I'll shut up now.

I would cry for hours on end... over NOTHING... and also fall apart all over my best friend frequently. Even though I am actively involved in my church outreach and stuff... and love it and have wonderful friends... became so ridiculously insecure that I felt no one wanted to be around me and have begun holing up, not being social, just "coping" and not always very well. And I am generally very outgoing, talk to everybody I meet, etc. I didn't go out and run around naked anywhere -- just mostly became an emotional roller coaster and wreck. I HATED it!!! Sue

Portland , oregon and in the winter the Fremont Bridge specialy the top deck get,s downright lethal, all covered in ice and the winds off the deck can blow you over so they sometimes have to shut the bridge down ,

I try to not go into the city by way of that bridge. actualy I try to not go into the city at all , I find that taking the train in takes the edge off my nerves a bit, I don,t like bridges , but in Portland the only way to get into the city is a bridge, I usualy go no further than the Farmers Market and the train stops right there.

Let us run with endurance the racethat is set before us Hebrews 12:1

Hi

Oh yah! Portland! I used to live there so am familiar with that

Fremont Bridge too. :

If you were in Seattle I was going to joke with you about your being

the one who created the Fremont Troll who lives under our Aurora

Bridge! <G> (Thought commonly thought to be under the

Fremont Bridge because of his name... he is in Fremont area.) Now I

had best explain as I posted that one time about a troll under our

bridge and someone was insulted and thought I was " dissing " the

homeless under the bridge. LOL only in Seattle I guess but HERE is

the " Fremont Troll. "
