  • Too Overwhelming

    Sunday, April 20, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I had a therapy appt. for Friday, grief therapy, but the whole session was focused on -
    my home living environment, my lack of a job, my daily interaction with an emotionally/verbally/mentally abusive man - who I point blank - avoid at this time.
    Her & I discussed Josh, and his lack of support to his mother - his disloyalty to his mother -
    and the fact that he thinks school and video games are a...

  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • A PARENT'S WORST WORST NIGHTMARE

    Friday, July 11, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I am devastated.  After steady improvement for three or four days, Elliot went in for surgery to repair a broken femer and pelvis.  He came out of the surgery fine, so I left the hospital for a couple hours.  When I returned, a nurse noticed that one of Elliot's pupil's was dilated and immediately called his neuro-surgeon.  He was no longer responding to commands, like...

    Monday, July 14, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Many of you have known me for almost one year now.  Those closest to me, know I have been forced to endure so many unnecessary stressfull situations, that I can only believe God has me in his hands - but here where I sit - is where I feel the most pain. My body can't handle any more stress, it's showing up everywhere - every day....the most God awful palpitations, sleep issues, the i...

  • Advise please

    Friday, December 12, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    This year I am writing to the ones I love instead of buying gifts. I'll put my heart, as best I can, onto a pretty sheet of paper and this will be their gift. My dilema is my son. I won't see him during the holiday...no need to explain why. But should I write to him too? Should I write as if none of this "mess" has happened? Should I write and keep it to give later? I can't ...

  • Trying to think things through

    Saturday, July 11, 2009 | A Call For Help story

       As most of you know my husband, Don, died on 6/15/07 and  I've been working very hard on healing and finding a purpose to live without him.  On 2//16/09 my mom died in a nursing home, but I was at her side with my son.  I manage my feelings very well after losing her as I believe I grieved for her years ago when she became so demented she no longer knew me or where...

  • My goal

    Monday, September 14, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I say this is a "call for help", but what I really seek is the usual support and encouragement that I find on here.
    I have got to go back to school!  After we adopted Jim, I stopped working.  I didn't need to work and then there were the frequentl hospitalizations.  Prior to that I had worked as an administrative assistant and a medical transcriptionist.  This was...
