I can't quite believe it's Friday today, were did the week go? Finally tired and lacking in motivation again today. My lovely community psychiatric nurse (CPN) is coming to see me at 11, tried to change appoointment but email message did not get through in time. This is one of the main problems/difficulties with my hearing loss that I can't contact people directly on the telephone. It's annoying and inconvenient relying on OH to do this for my all the time. It also robs me of my independence, making me so reliant on others to communicate with the outside world for me. I have my mobile from which I can text and receive calls from people I know well, also there is the internet, email, facebook, twitter and now blogspot! All these things are amazing, I am trying so hard to be positive and up beat about this, but to be honest it p*ss*s me off big time and makes me so depressed too. 75% of peolple with hearing loss suffer to varying degrees with clinical depression. It is my belief that these are the people who become deafened over their life time and not those who are born with profound deafness. Any way I have to learn to live around my hearing loss and adapt my life to fit how I am and not wallow in self pity, which is not productive or useful. I might do another blog just about my feelings on being severely deaf at another point, especially if I right down in the dumps about it.
