We may have a hole in our hearts (my husband - Jay's bro, myself and rest of family) but Jaimie has not only a hole in her heart she has a hole in her life. One thing I know is that God has given her the strength to carry on. God has given my husband and I as well as my inl...

    I have been suffering with my diagnosis of Graves Disease for about a month now.  I still have not been able to start any meds and i am tired of feeling bad.  When I was diagnosed a CT scan was done and I was injected with iodine.  Now, my primary DR wants a thyroid scan done, and this can't be done until the iodine levels in my system drop.  I was told this taked about 6 ...

    Wednesday, November 18, 2009 | A Venting story

  • I'm tired of this life.....

    Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I wish I could see my therapist every single day.  When I talk to her, I feel like I'm really making some progress.  Then I leave her office and am thrust back into the reality of my life, which is really in a sad state right now.  I feel like there is no possibility of anything grander, better, beautiful, for me.  I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Beca...
