When I was first diagnosed with FAS (high functioning), Teresa's website was a huge gift both to me and my husband. Things finally made sense in a way they never had before. I had practical information on what was wrong, and how, and even better, work-arounds so I could have a functional life.
Teresa also enjoyed my "How we cope" tales as I worked my way through my illness, Ron's accident and recovery, and my diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I still get emails - they have hope now.
Good. I want to be that person. The person I needed during all my trials, someone to say "I've got this, and I've got this. Don't worry, you'll be fine."
As time goes by, I find myself answering questions and educating people about my problems. I've made a couple of referrals to my doctor. One lady, when she saw me again, gave me a huge hug. Her bipolar daughter was under control and doing well. I've also been able to discourage pregnant mothers from even thinking about alcohol.
What a huge blessing for God to use me like that!
Today, while helping someone, I went to the FAS-CRC website. Imagine my shock when I found myself as the quote of the day!
