  • what do you want?

    Saturday, March 22, 2008

    I can't help but wonder what people want when they go into support groups.
    Sometimes I know that people come looking for supportive solutions, new perspectives.  Sometimes.
    But too often it seems like people are just coming looking for people to validate them and essentially say, "you don't deserve that" and "you don't have anything to work on about you... its all t...

  • I Love You Sweetheart

    Friday, November 14, 2008

    This is for my Dad... 
    I REMEMBER
    Around and around we twirl
    As I perch on his broad shoulders,
    And grab his hair with both hands
    …white knuckled with gleeful terror.
    He tightly grasps my legs against his chest
    With his mitten sized hands.
    I throw my head back, long hair blowing through the air.
    Hardly able to catch my breath,
    We twirl and twirl and he lets out
    Loud guffaws of glee, saying&hel...

  • Feeling like *&^&*

    Wednesday, February 4, 2009 | A Venting story

    Ok for the first time since all of the MS Bs came about I have absolutely felt like *&^%.  I do not have a stressful demanding job but sometimes I wonder if I might feel any better if I did.  I was seriously thinking I would search for another job and even a 2nd job but with how I have been feeling I guess I will continue to stay in the boring non challenging job that I have.&n...

  • Another Anniversary Without You...

    Wednesday, January 28, 2009 | A Painful story

     
    Hello My Sweet Angel,
    It started last week - that feeling that has no name.  It's still a part of the original grief, not quite so intense but just a very quiet sadness that is constant and ongoing.  It was then that I realized that today was coming and would be here soon...our 35th anniversary.  My first thought was that there is no more reason to celebrate this wonderful...

  • Um...

    Monday, June 30, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I started binging.
    I'm so angry with myself.
    So... worried.
    I'm almost shakey, though i'm not sure why.
    I just kept telling myself "go eat, you can stop tomorrow"  stupid Claire...
    But it doesn't work like that! I just wish for a day where i will wake up and suddenly not have the urge to eat at all, but that day isn't going to come!
    I need to realise that.... but deep...
