    • About Me

      I am 43 years old, married for 23 years and have two kids ages 17 and 12. I own my own housekeeping business in Nevada. It's hard work but at least I only have to work a few hours a day (usually). When I have the energy, I enjoy bike riding, skiing, and playing with the kids. I love to read and bake, also. Life is pretty tough right now but hopefully I can turn some things around this year so I can be happy again.

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything in the name of Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalm 18:28 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

      From SadTime February 9

      In 2002 I had emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction that turned out to be advanced stage three colon cancer. I was 46 at the time. Yes, everyone needs to force their doctors to take action when there are symptoms. My doctor blew me off as having a female problem!!! Two months passed between when my husband and I went in the first time with my husband telling my doctor that he thought I was going to die laying on the sofa I was doing so poorly. Two months later we are finally seen by my ob/gyn who orders a CT scan. Two days later I was having surgery. I also have the social anxiety. With life the way it is anymore in this world of ours I would imagine many more are getting diagnosed with this disorder all the time. How can we not have it with life the way it is anymore.

    • Close Colon Cancer
      Stage: 0 (Tis)

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
      I was diagnosed with colon cancer last summer at 43 years of age. I was mostly blown off by doctors for 5 years due to my age. I finally had 9 inches of my colon removed in July. No chemo or radiation was needed and I am supposed to be cured. I fear that cancer will return one day but for now I am thankful. Don't let any doctor tell you that you are too young for colon cancer. Get a colonoscopy if you have symptoms.
    • Close Anxiety

      I am 43 years old, married for 23 years and have two kids ages 17 and 12. I need help on dealing with Social Anxiety which I have had for years but never put a name to it. I have tried a couple different meds but couldn't take the side effects.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Not Working
      I started taking it at night because it would make me too drowsy during the day. Makes me sleep like a baby but doesn't help for anxiety.
      Paxil Not Working
      Couldn't take the side effects. Insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, the runs.
    • Open Gambling Addiction & Recovery

      I am the wife of a compulsive gambler. I love my husband but when he gambles away our money, it pushes me farther and farther away from him. I hate not being able to trust him.
