The one I'm reading is 206 Bones.
And people know that, in my videogames, I don't care about World Building, unless it turns out to be vital to the plot or gameplay. But this is what Reichs seems to be doing constantly! First of all, this is not the first book chronologically, so some stuff I don't know from the get-go. But I have no idea where she IS right now! The story starts off in Quebec - okay, that's in Canada. Then she's with her in-law family, by the way, let's take a page or three to tell you about her ex-husband's family, because you know, you really, REALLY gotta know about how Ex-Husband Pete came to be, what with parents coming from immigrants and some stuff that really doesn't matter, so forget it.
The only one that is kind of important is more a family friend, who asks Brennan if she has encountered a body that she has checked out that could be her husband's grandson, who disappeared 4 years ago.
Anyway, the plot revolves around an old lady's death that supposedly was mucked up by Brennan, someone is trying to ruin her reputation and that dead person was found over 9 months ago. By the way, we're in CHICAGO right now! Apparently. And now we're in Montreal, Quebec. Or something. Then she is examining a skull, which turns out to be the plot lady's, but that means this chapter is from 9 months ago! Wait, wasn't she already holding the skull and is now flashing back to arriving at the scene?
Where the fuck am I? AND STOP INTERRUPTING YOUR PLOT BY TELLING ME ABOUT SOME GODAMN STUPID TRAPPERS WHO MADE SOME AMAZING CHEESE HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO IN THIS AREA!! Unless it somehow IS important to the plot, like it was one of the trapper's descendants that killed the woman, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE GODDAMN CHEESE THEY MADE!! I'm not reading this book for goddamn CHEESE information or shit that isn't important! I am reading it for the plot and the forensics! Shut the fuck up! Where the hell IS Brennan right now? Montrebecfornia!? You can't just DROP the reader into a place and not tell them where (or when) they are!

Awww... I know how you feel, sis. A life like that could be really difficult to handle. So sorry to hear you're on such problems.
Thank you, bro
So I talked things out with my guy and everything's good...for now. Health wise, I had another grand mal seizure. Almost had to call EMTs because it was almost five minutes long. Taking more medicine and currently trying to see a specialist for all this, but it really is very exhausting. I'm getting tired of waking up each day and worrying about having a seizure.

Huh...I wouldn't say I'm depressed, but right now I'm just fed up with life. I had to quit my job because my epilepsy is getting out of control. I had a seizure last week that came without warning.

Also I've been dating a guy who's really sweet, but tonight he found out that I was quitting my job and he got angry at me (he and I work at the same place). Now I feel like crap because I think I've been distancing myself without even knowing it. Last time we went out was a few days ago. May not sound that bad, but we've been trying to hang out as much as possible before I go away to school. I'm not really cut out for this relationship stuff and it's really stressing me out. I should've just stayed single. Would've saved us both the trouble, especially since I'm sick all the time.
That's got to be tough on you. I never quite fully knew what epilepsy does to someone mentally and physically, untill I saw a girl get a massive seizure just 2 weeks ago (one that had a certain reason to it, but that's a whole story on its own).
Just try to not be to hard on yourself by thinking about distancing yourself too much. If it keeps bothering you talk to your boyfriend about it by being specific about your emotions, expectations from your boyfriend on dealing with the problem and how you want to proceed in the future. From personal experience: If girls aren't really specific, especially about their emotions and expectations, it's really hard to grasp the problem or even sense something is wrong.
Face your emptiness don't be afraid. The danger is often smaller than your fear.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still quite new to this whole dating thing, so is he, but we both kinda figured that communication is key to every relationship haha. So far nothing too serious has happened yet, and the whole quitting my job thing has gotten cleared up.

...this needed to be EXPLAINED? You didn't NEED an explanation for this! For one, it was pretty obvious in the book itself. Second, Harry himself practically admitted why he named his second son after Dumbledore and Snap! Harry told his second son that he was named after two of the bravest people he had ever met. Why do you need this explained?
Seriously, anyone who read the Harry Potter books and needed THIS to be explained to them, doesn't know how to read a book.

Then last Tuesday, I started to get constant head pains, going from a light 24/7 headache to my head just feeling really heavy 24/7. Just a couple of days ago, it suddenly started to escalate, get a bit worse with the pain and the heaviness. Wednesday was the worst. There was so much pressure in my head, it felt so heavy and it was so painful I felt like my head would explode. I'd have brushed off the pain, but it lasted more than 12 hours. Even laying down didn't subside it at all and it gave me one of the worst nights in my life. I was pretty sure that I had a surge of high blood pressure out of nowhere, but there was nothing I could have done.
Yesterday afternoon, my head finally calmed down. Now I'm just light-headed. However, it came with side effects. My right side has gotten very weak again. The past few months of physical therapy, just shot, gone down the drain. I can't grip with my right hand again. It's so weak in fact, I don't even have the strength to break apart a simple chocolate bar.
And you know, I wish I could tell what few friends I have how I'm feeling. How I'm just so tired of all of this and I'm just so mentally drained and weak. Just to have someone to vent to. But I feel like it's all I've done whenever I've talked to others as of late and I'm sure they're tired of hearing me talk about this. Well, right now, I'm tired of living this.
I'm sick of being hopeful that I'll get better and then my body just decides to knock me down again. I'm not looking for encouragement of "oh, you'll get better" or "look at your progress" or whatever people have been spewing to me lately. I know they mean well, but it doesn't do anything for me. Right now, all I've just been wanting to do is vent. Honestly, I feel real guilty for the times I've done this to my friends and I don't want to do it to them again, but at the same time, I wish I could.

I've heard a lot of stories about people going through physical therapy, especially after a stroke.
While never physically injured to such an extent, I know how you feel as far as feeling like months of you life were spent in vain, just remember that you have gotten to the point where you were better, so getting back there will never be as hard as the first time. Just remember that regardless of physical, mental, or emotional handicap, we here at C-R are your friends, and I'd hate to think something like a stroke could fell a guy like you.
P.S. Here's a picture of a cat trying to eat a hamburger to make you feel better.

Sometimes having this disease makes me not like myself. I've had six grand mal seizures in three weeks, each increasing in length like almost five minutes, which is pretty dangerous. As such, my doc added a new medicine and increased it after the fifth one. I'm now taking two seizures medicines, max doses for each. He said if that didn't work, then I'll have to start considering something like surgery to correct it. A few days later, last Monday, I had my sixth grand mal seizure, which was no doubt the worst one I've ever had because I was home alone. I didn't know how long it was, I couldn't call for help, I had nobody to turn me on my side or to make sure I didn't suffer any head injuries, etc. It was terrible. When I came to and was finally aware of my surroundings, I wasn't able to move. I was screaming for my mom until she finally came home half an hour later. After this, I'm not being considered for surgery. Reason is because my doc thinks it's all stress related. I'm not going to lie, life has been pretty stressful and I don't deal with it well. But for some reason, I just think surgery would be more effective than taking the medicine at this point. The meds don't even stop the seizures completely. Even as I'm typing this, I'm still having arms and leg jerks. I don't know, I'm just frustrated and willing to do anything at this point. This last seizure really traumatized me. What if I have another one when I'm by myself and I can't call for help? If the seizure lasts longer than five minutes, I'll be in trouble. If I hit my head when I fall or stop breathing then that'll be it for me. I don't want to die.
I'm sorry if I'm overdramatic about this, but I can't pretend that this isn't a big deal to me any longer. I'm scared.

No wonder, it is scary to lose control of your body like that, especially when there's no one around to help. Additionally I'm surprised your mum would leave you completely at home alone in such cases. Have you talked with her about how terrifying this is for you?

Have you considered searching for a second opinion on this? Even if stress is somehow related to your condition, I don't see why surgery shouldn't be considered if there is a high chance it could improve your life. Other things should be taken into account (like risks and cost), but I don't get your doc's argument.

Stress-schmess, as a doc, he should know that stress-related things can turn for the worst. Stress-related stomach-burns ended up giving me gastroenteritis. After all, just cause something is stress-related, it can't be ignored because "Eh, it'll go away on its own".

I've never had any problem being home alone before until last week. I did talk it over with her, but they're not sure what to do. Both my parents work so they can't stay at home, and I'll be leaving for school in a matter of days. Usually I can tell when I'm about to have one, so she told me the next time that happens to call the neighbors or 911 or something like that.

The surgery that we talked about for me is having a pacemaker implanted in my neck to connect to my vagus nerve. It's called vagus nerve stimulation. Even on it though, he said that I'll still have to take the medicine. Since the medicine "appears" to be working and that all my seizures are just stress related, then it seems like I don't need it and it should only be considered as a last resort, for when my epilepsy really gets out of control and my seizure medicines can no longer control it.

My doctor did give me another prescription. It's an anti-anxiety pill, supposed to help with the stress. It's been a week since my last seizure and I wanna say it's working fine, but I dunno...These medicines only treat the symptoms, they don't cure the disease. I'm still having seizures, I'm still having myoclonus.
And what gets me is that no one believes that I'm having these problems. They think it's something else, like I'm having panic attacks or something. I don't know how to feel about that. I can't remember anything that happens when I have a seizure, so I have to ask other people what happened and they give me all the horrifying details that happened, like I was thrashing around, my eyes rolled to the back of my head, I was drooling on myself. I'm unconscious the whole time, so I can't bring myself out of that state and communicate to anyone. THAT'S a panic attack? It makes me feel like I'm bringing that on myself. Why would I? It makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed. Oh, and everytime I have a seizure, that's six months of no driving added to my record.

Yeah, anyone who thinks THAT is a panic attack and not something worse is... quite frankly, an idiot. Even if one doesn't know that it's a seizure, it's obviously NOT a panic attack.

I was thinking about something... anxiety is the ultimate mimic. It can appear as any physical sensation. Anywhere. It is inner projection. Like we project insecurities on others, our body projects our own problems within. Chest pain, sweating, shaking, anxiety can appear as almost any symptom, and basically every existing symptom can be attributed to anxiety.

You shouldn't be ashamed of that. It isn't "you". It is a chronic medical condition, and anyone who doesn't understand this is either very uneducated or an ass. If people around you think it's nothing serious, then you are surrounded by idiots, as Cat said. The problem it's not you, it's them.

Thank you! I've been trying hard to explain my condition to people for years, but they don't seem to get it. They always try to relate to it, but I just gave up talking to them about it.
And dangerousoffender, I'd say you've hit the nail on the head with your description on anxiety. And thanks for reassuring me that I'm not the problem. I guess it'd just be easier to believe if people wouldn't treat me like one

the worst thing is, you feel you have to hide those problems from people, because few people understand them. It is the kind of problem you don't know how to explain or don't want to explain to anyone, like any psychiatric condition. And I've heard that most people who go to ER complaining about chest pain are actually having panic attacks

About trying to hide it from people... it isn't a big deal. I also have panic attacks and I've learnt that sometimes, you have to admit weakness in front of people to get help. I've had ambulance and firetrucks roar into my house. Entire neighborhood saw it and I wanted to hide myself in my wardrobe, crawl into a hole or something. Most people are actually more understanding than you expect them to be, and have their own problems. Any fuck up you have is just a small distraction from their boring lives, lol.

Then go to your room, put headphones and music on. Or go outside for a walk or something. Don't get involved. Especially if it isn't about you, either. If you do, it'll just end with things being said that not 100% true, but hurt like crazy when said in the heat of the moment. Which would only make it worse.

That did happen, but just between them. They ended up saying that they only said hurtful things because they were really upset and wanted to hurt the other. They didn't say anything to me. They calmed down. Regardless my mum is still packing and leaving, but everything was calm. Then my cousin wrote on her FB wall. Something like "If you hate my family then I want nothing to do with you. Bye." After that my mum was angry all over again.
I mean it's obvious their relationship wasn't gonna be fixed during the calm moment, but I don't know what possessed my cousin to make matters worse like that.

Frankly, your cousin needs to shut the fuck up. You don't hang your dirty, family-private laundry out on social media shit. That stuff goes into personal conversation, maybe e-mails, if personal meeting is not available.

"Insult" them back by asking, "Isn't the point of (your religion) tolerance, acceptance of and kindness towards others?"
I know this mostly refers to Christianity with its commandements, but out of the religions I've seen and know a bit about, none of them say to insult someone for having a different opinion. (Since we'll suffer because of our different opinion during life or after, anyway)

I've tried this before and they say something like, "LOL! U are an idiot, shut up!" which at that point I just remove them, for not using proper English, and for being pricks. But more keep popping up! It's a fucking disease!

Yeah, those people only pretend to use religion as a way to appear better to people. They're assholes and ignoring them is the best way then.

I believe Gandhi summed it up pretty well when he said (may be paraphrasing here), "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
On a related note, I hate it when people post those "If you love Jesus, like this post. Keep scrolling if you hate him." I'm sorry, but who exactly does this benefit? It can't be non-Christians, because they won't care who clicked "like" and who didn't. And they aren't going to like the post, simply because they don't care about Jesus either. And it doesn't benefit Christians because clicking "like" doesn't help us in any way, and not clicking it just brings condemnation from the idiots who post that stuff.
I mean, come on, as if someone's relationship with God would be screwed over just because someone didn't like a Facebook post.

Oh, I don't think it puts a bad image on their God or the religion itself. Only on those people specifically - because you know, these people are not 'real' practicioners of said religion. They only haul out the Religion Card and slam it down, hiding behind their religion, when they realize they can't properly counter an argument or can't deal with reality. They hide behind it, all while snickering because "Hee, hee, they used the religion card~"
Cause if you try to point out to them how they are acting, you're immediately labelled a satanist, terrorist, any kind of 'ist' because duuurrr, you obviously don't get their religion and are jealous or just stupid.

No one I know bothers to use anything else. Sure, e-mail is an option, but it's "easier" to use Facebook, especially for group chats.

Sadly, not everyone can see it as rationally as that. I mean, after the twin tower attack on 9/11, the majority (or at least a very vocal minority) of Americans viewed all Muslims as terrorists, simply because of the actions of a relatively small group of radicals.

If people come at me, telling me all Muslims are terrorists, I'll retort that all Germans are Nazis and all Americans are obese, unfit assholes who like shooting guns for no reason.
Stereotyping over 'nothing' goes both ways.

I was talking about the Wiki I've opened about a few hours ago. In fact, the most frustrating thing I saw of it was the Infoboxes. Nothing but pieces of shits that can only be modifiable on the most difficult mode instead of the visual mode. What do you think I am, some HTML Programming Gimmick? It was so annoying, that if it wasn't for my friend (I'm keeping their details anonymous, sorry.), god. I swear, I'd blow up for real. In fact, how embarrassing it is to ask another person for assisting your wiki Blog. Want to know how embarrassing? Very embarrassing. But it's not like I have another alternative. I mean, I suck at making new infoboxes-- I almost waved the white flag once.
Oh, and whenever I go for "Insert > Infoboxes", those chain sluts show what, you say? "No infoboxes found." ...Seriously, are these whoresuckers on to eating-chewing down my temper or something? There are like, at least 10 fucking examples of it flying around in the wiki, yet the fucking bitch didn't found the fucking infobox example? I can't believe this piece of crap idle they're shoving at me.
So what did you expect? My friend (probably forced to) requested to add them as some sort of a site moderator, I dunno. Believe it or not, I had no other alternatives. I mean, shit. If you ever visit any wikia and go to their "edit page" and even think of inserting an Infobox- If you either get an example somehow or something, Surprise, surprise! In the "Edit Infobox" area, The Bolded areas are completely uneditable at Visual Areas but editable at the Source Areas! And you need to do it in the seperate page as well, What The Fuck is this, mac? Have we turned into the old '50s or something?!
Seriously, I can't buy this. Nope, I can't buy this. Definitely not buying. No, sir.
