    • About Me

      I am a volunteer CASA... (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children) This means that I do my own, independent investigation into the abuse/neglect/sexual abuse of children, and then go to the judge/court with my findings. (I go to court and fight for what I believe is in the best interest of the child/children.) They are already removed from the home by the time that I come into the picture. Also, I am on the Council for Suicide Prevention, and I am trained/certified in doing Suicide Intervention.

      LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN..........



      The teacher asked the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.

      Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my grand dad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

      The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".

      Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was "fascinated."

      The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."

      Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."

      The teacher sat down and cried!

  • Support Groups

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      I just buried my mom on Saturday. I was holding her, and telling her that I loved her so much, when she stopped breathing. (she died at home) It was January 31, 2007 at 11:18 pm. I am also the survivor of a suicide. (my fiance'- 9 years ago) I still carry a lot of guilt with me, because of it. (I told him not to come home that night.)

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      My worst time is after dark... I start watching the clock, waiting for 11:18 to come. (when my mom took her last breath.)
      Pets Working / Worked
      Animals are extremely healing... without them, I would be miserable. We have 3 dogs, (Greyhound, Sheltie, Pomeranian) 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 1 Chinchilla, 2 Chinese water dragons, an Iguana, and a 125 gal. saltwater aquarium. (I adore our fish!) We also have a Koi pond out back...
      Prayer Working / Worked
      God always carries me, when I'm at my lowest point. Without God, my life would be unbearable.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually molested by my own dad... I'm not ready to talk about it, but I want to join this community and not feel like a 'spy'. (from just being invisible, and reading posts.)

    • Open Anxiety

      Treatments

      Geodon Working / Worked
      These medications, in combination with a couple of other's, seem to be working pretty well for me.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Without medication, I tend to become suicidal... If I try to go off of my medication, I am worse than ever.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I take Cymbalta, Geodon, and a couple of other medications for ADD.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I have ADD... (not so much the hyper part, but sometimes.) Without medication, I am like an un-made bed... (very disorganized, have a terrible time concentrating.) I tend to overflow a LOT of sinks and tubs. (without my medication.) Grrrr... I hate that soooo bad! My children love my ADD, because I'm like one of them. (I don't always use good judgement, and I laugh at everything.) I believe that it keeps me young at heart. 3 out of 4 of my children, also have it.

    • Open Healthy Sex

      Is being a sex addict considered healthy sex? My husband happens to love that I'm this way, so I'm hoping, that under these circumstances, it is. (healthy sex)

    • Open Rape

      When I was 16, I went to a party way back in a woods... (I was supposed to be at a football game) When I was asked to make a "beer run" with 3 guys that seemed nice, (and were nice-looking) I stupidly went along with them... Need I say more??? (stupid, stupid, stupid)

    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      The suicide of my fiance' 9 years ago, has caused me to have PTSD... (so my psychiatrist says.) Suicide can do a real number on you.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      LisaLGK hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Military Families

      My 18 yr old son has joined the Marines... It has been a dream of his for well over a year now. I wish that I could be positive about it, for his sake, but I'm more upset than words can say.

    • Open Peptic Ulcers

      I was just told last week that I have 3 ulcers. They don't appear to be bleeding, luckily. The doctor put me on Nexium for them.

      Treatments

      Nexium Working / Worked
    • Open Anemia

      For some unknown reason I keep becoming very anemic. I just had to have a blood transfusion a week ago, because of it.
