    What eye disease was it? Eye floaters, glacuoma, macular degeneration?

    Are you from Marrakesh in Morocco? (judging by your username)

    Yes it was Glaucoma and no I am not from Morocco, I am from the Netherlands.

    Worst: having a debilitating ovary related health issue that cost me many hours of my life due to pain and the misery of it. At some point I was almost put in disability because it made it nearly impossible living normally. Thankfully it seems under control at the moment.

    Best: my husband, hands down. The kids are great too but I chose to be with him and he's my favourite person in the whole wide world.

    best: doing my autism presentations

    Worst: leaving school at 16, returning but spending too much time smoking weed, and failed my first leaving cert

    Best: falling in love for the first time with such a kind caring person, still together four years later, and also, passing my leaving cert and getting to choose whatever I want to do with my life. :)

    And of course, being lucky to have been born into an amazing, hard working caring family. <3

    Worst: Telling my Grandad I'd call him tomorrow and not doing it. He unexpectedly died that night, I will live with that forever.

    When I was in college I was at the point of making a decision about which stream of my degree to specialise in. My grandad told me not to make the decision without him (as it was in his line of work), I told him I wouldn't as I left his house. That was the last time I saw him. I think about that moment a lot, mainly because I was a little short on patience with him during that visit for various reasons. I regret that immensely.

    Too hard to choose a best and a worst really as when thinking back there are multiple choices for both.
    But I'll give it a go.
    Worst. The fall out from a friends suicide . It was only a drunken comment but it completely changed me for the worst.
    The best. The exhilaration I felt after escaping a life threatening situation . The pure rush of whatever runs through your body after something like that was something I had never experienced before ,or thankfully , have since , but it was an unbelievable drug like rush of both euphoria and pride ( I can't think of the word to describe it ) .It stayed with me and expelled alot of demons. So in a odd way nearly getting shot was a good thing ?

    Worst - Being promoted into a position I was ultimately ineffective in, along with the subsequent humiliating fallout. It happened over a year ago now and I'm still reeling / figuring out what went wrong.

    Best - Anytime I get to make people laugh.

    Worst - when my husband of 13 years finally admitted hed been 'seeing someone' for almost 2 years. And they'd had a child together the previous year.

    Best - the circle of loving, supportive family and friends that surrounded me and minded me and hugged me through the horrendous year that followed.

    Adrenaline

    No. Adrenaline was pumping of course but it was something more.
