I’m With You
that's too bad :( i myself would love to go to Western Africa. While there tho expect to be served a very high carb diet. Since u would need a very balanced meal with meat/ protein & a rainbow of colors... getting a good meal there might be a problem. I have friends who live in different parts of Africa & the diet is heavy on carbs everywhere. Also be careful of any protein u accept that is animal cos they eat cats, dogs, rodents & some places serve bugs as well. The "cat soup" cafe is just that ! It would b hard for me to go through the market & see all those "pets" tied up or caged to sell for food.

Thank you, I posted an update, it all depends on the pdoc
Hug
Thanks for the hug and the encouragement. Yes, I am on one antidepressant (Trazadone) and on one medication for anxiety. I attend a monthly support group meeting for women with HIV, and am heavily involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery. Most people in my AA circle don't know I have HIV, but support is support! I attend a support group meeting of one sort or another at least once a day. Thanks again for your comments. I look forward to getting to know you better. **smooches**

Hug
That sounds so familiar, I have decided to just stop and let life open as it should as you suggested.
Hug
My divorce was final 1/11/08, but we were seperated for a year prior. I was trying too hard to get her back. I have been through a lot and I was involved in a robbery at work. After the robbery, everything came rushing back and I was in really bad shape. I was diagnosed bi-polar one and with PTSD. I verbally and emotionally abused her. Thankfully, I got help to correct my bad behaviors, but she got herself setup with another dude. My behaviors after the robbery hurt and scared her, so she left me. I still love her and it is killing me... slowly.

Support Groups
Close Diabetes Type 2
I was recently diagnoised with Diabetes Type 2. I'm trying to understand my new chronic "friend".
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I've lost 10 lbs in a month so far. My glucose levels are normal so far, but its still a trail and error. There are foods that are healthy for "normal" people that make my levels go high.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI take 1.5 tablets of Zoloft and battle with depression. There are days where I don't want to show or leave my bed. I get so depressed sometimes that I let important things slip through the cracks. I was also diagnosed with Diabetes II in Sept 2007. I'm dealing with it, but it sucks because I use food to comfort me.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- It works for me and I haven't gained weight.
Open Sexual Abuse
I was sexually abused as a child by a family member and neighbor. I'm in the process of trying to get help but the bureacracy of it all is delaying treatment.
Treatments
- Reiki Working / Worked
Open HIV
I'm scheduled to leave to West Africa for the Peace Corps to work with AIDS organizations. I went to a volunteering training with SAAF: Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation. It was very helpful information. There was a lot that I didn't know.
Open Achondroplasia (Dwarfism)
My sister has Russle Silver Syndrome. Does anybody know of this genetic disorder?
Open Breakups & Divorce
I eloped with this Russian guy in March 2006 after only knowing him for a few weeks. (The story only gets worse). So, the "honeymoon" ended when we completed our first immigration interview. He went from one person to another. I felt as though a stranger were living in my house and that I wasn't safe. Anyhow, one day when he was at an out of town business meeting, I called him and confronted him on his behavior because I was afraid to do it in person. He said, "You are a good girl..."
Treatments
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeI was in the hospital with my maternal grandmother when she died. The family was together and prayed as she left us. She suffered alot. She died Sept. 12. There is so much that I'm feeling. Had I only been raised with her, I would not have suffered as much as I did as a child. I envy my functional cousins that she raised.
Treatments
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I created a program for family and said a heartfelt eulogy.
Open High Cholesterol
I'm a type two diabetic and the doctor told me that I have high cholesterol. I was taking Niacin 500 no flush.
Treatments
- Niaspan Too Soon to Tell
- Niacin 500 no flush
Open Bipolar Disorder
I'm a trauma survivor. I'm currently depressed and taking meds for it. I'm researching Bipolar Disorder because I have very similar symptoms.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I know I suffer from PSD but have not been official diagnosed. I should see a therapist in the coming weeks.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- 1.5 tabs for depression.
