About Me
I a single parent, have been co-dependent forever. I love reading books, cooking, traveling and thinking postive, which just happens to be a daily struggle. I am a pleaser, and I really dislike that trait about me. I am working on it but it is very hard. How does one change?

Shout Out
hello again Smooches, I hope that this finds you enjoying your weekend, and I thought, to get to say hello to DS people that are caring enough to give a hello to me is very blessed, and I should just say hello, for I feel blessed that they'd say hello as people do here to strangers, and you all care. Have a joyous weekend! Hunter

Hi Smooches! I owe you a reply from LONG ago! OMGosh! But when you sent the hug, I felt so sad that I hadn't replied to your original post to me. As I remember you were looking for strength to handle your feelings. I'm now going thru some depression myself, mostly because of post op, and meds, and a 2 year divorce debacle. What I will recommend is of course Bible study if you are a believer, and if you are not, well, you can still meditate on good things, and appreciate the good in little things. I know it's hard; it's easy to recommend, but it's hard for us. We'll be ok. I did find this excellent book called "Loving God with All your Mind"...by a Christian lady named Elizabeth George. It's very good. Keep in touch. Love, and Peace. Hunter

After giving birth to my daughter via C-Section I set up an infection. I was prescribed the antibiotic Cleocin. It stripped my colon of its natural flora. I developed Psuedomembraneous Colitis, and nearly died. I was left disabled. I have been dealing with this disease for fourteen years. It is truly a debilating disease.Its refreshing to know there are people out there who understands IBS and the effects of this diease.
