  • A life without ED......

    Saturday, July 19, 2008

    So, things are going good.. Like all people in the world, I have good and bad days.. The bad are getting less, and less. I am slowly finding the happiness, that everyone has talked about.. When I say people, I mean, doctors, therapists, nutrionists, counselors, and all the people I have met along the way..

    Another issue - I obsessed and worried so much about this over the past 3 weeks...

I am afraid to dream this possibility, because so many times I have started to feel good and then ended up getting sick with physical problems/pain again.
    The only thing different has been that ...
