About Me
Single mom, nurse, student, sister, daughter. I am a member of the Church of Christ. I am involved in and have a passion for helping women with self esteem problems due to abuse in their past. That included being sexually, mentally, physically and emotionally abused. I believe that all of us have been abused in some way at some point in our lives. Some of us need help in getting over that hurt.

So glad to see such a positive upswing of events in your journal. I figured with your list of credentials that you wouldn't have too much trouble finding work. Congratulations! My prayers are with you. I opted out of the depression site bcs every time I would read the discussions I would get more depressed. What people don't want to hear is 'keep on the sunny side' or 'just trust in G-D'. Those are the thoughts that help me but some of the people on the site seem so close to suicide, I felt like I was out of my depth. Even tho I have felt like committing suicide I never have really taken my desire seriously bcs I have a son who would think I didn't care about him and just took the easy way out. I don't know what to tell people who are thinking about doing it who are alone in the world. What do you say, 'go see a therapist'? Kind of shallow.

Prayer
Your'e still in my prayers, even though I'm new to the site. I feel for you with so much to bear. I keep checking in but I never see a new update on your journal so it's hard to tell how you're doing. Nevertheless, I was a single mom while my son was growing up and I was pretty much broke all the time and struggling. I can so relate, though I didn't have the added struggle of a considerable handicap. -Hugs
