  • Doctor Visit

    Tuesday, August 5, 2008 | A Sad story

    Yesterday was my second appointment to the counselor. I'm having a very hard time accepting my mom's loss in June and things that had happened with my aunts(moms sisters) while mom was in hospital. The first visit was very emotional and everything came out of the closet. Yesterdays was more relaxing cause the cats were out of the bag and now it's "how do I except what has happen&...

  • The knowing

    Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | A Sad story

    I grew up in a "conservative baptist" home, went to a christian private school,(dont recommend!!! ) and have extremely religious parents. Everything in my upbringing was very black and white. Recently, I have had to step up and rethink my whole view on spirits, the after-life, God, Heaven, and even Hell. I am so caught up in what "should be" what it "appropriate"...

  • Radiation

    Wednesday, October 8, 2008

    I have faught against radiation for almost 4 years and today when I saw my endo I expected him to mention radiation but not say the words that I've been dreading since my diagnosis.

He told me that I am so sick because my body is giving out in some areas and fighting against it self in o...

    Sunday, October 12, 2008

    I am so sad and disappointed in myself. My family and I were having a nice family outing today, everything was going great and out of the blue there I go again, ranting and raving, screaming, angry over something so stupid and ruined another day for my family.

  • Sad Day

    Friday, November 21, 2008 | A Sad story

    Yesterday was a very sad day for me.  I had to make the decision to have my 20 year old cat put to sleep.  Yes, I know, she was 20 years old, but she was the most awesome cat in the world.  I am gonna miss you a bunch Smokey, I love you.  Bless my husbands heart for taking her to the vet for me and taking care of things.  After losing my dog earlier this year I think...

  • another shitty day

    Sunday, November 30, 2008 | A Sad story

    Today has been very painful due to one of my illnesses, not sure which one. for the past few weeks its been like this. One day a month or so, Im ok. The res is either a bad day, or horrible, or I just wanna die. Sometimes its from my physical pain, some my emotional, but mostly its both at the same time.
    Ive taken my pain killers, nothing. Ive taken Ibuprofen, nothing, my spironolactone, nothing.....

    Ahhhhhh! That’s how I feel right now. I am so frustrated. That’s why I am here I guess. It has been 4 months since I was diagnosed with Graves disease. I know I should feel lucky because I don't have something worse but I am at my wits end.
    I am so sick of feeling crazy. I am an emotional wreck even when I pretend to be fine I am fighting myself inside. This is a horrible feeli...
