      From LilyMaid October 17, 2008

      i am normally a more spiritual person and recently have been evolving my own spiritual "body". i am more into the goddess point of view, but also accept my god one from before. i take from all religions and merge into my own. i believe that regardless of what religion we say we are under that we all have our own views. not one person thinks alike afterall all of the time.

      From LilyMaid October 17, 2008

      i am sorry that i never answered your question in the discussion post area. i just never went back to the site and i forgot to click the part that would email me a section of it. the sin when born thing goes back to eve. in the bible she and adam sinned against god and since we are their blood we are therefore born sinners. this is what the bible says. god has given us jesus to cover our sins but that doesn't mean that we are forgiven, we have to accept jesus as our savior. now this is way too much bible thumping for me, because i don't normally say this much about religion, however, even though its months later, i saw your question and wanted to answer it. sorry for being so late.

    • Close Diabetes Type 1

      I've been diabetic since I was about 13. A while back, I began to have trouble in my right eye. shapes didn't seem right anymore. Now it's gone and my left e3ye is going. i'm just a little scared, y'know

      Treatments

      Diabetic Diet Working / Worked
      it works when i stick to it.
      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
    • Close Blindness & Visual Impairment

      I have diabetic retinopathy. In 2008, I took O&M training and now I use a cane to help me get around.

      Treatments

      Laser Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      It slowed things down.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I guess I've always been a little depressed, but over the last two years, it’s gotten worse and I’ve been in treatment for about a year now. That Cymbalta commercial has it right: you don’t want to get up or play with your dog or eat right. It hurts physically, and it hurts the people who watch you. People understand – or try – but dogs don’t. They just think you don’t love them anymore.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      it helps me get up, bathe, get dressed, eat.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      It helps keep me calm when I'm scared. I've been doing it for more than twelve years now.
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      what a crock of... Okay, it works as well as you let it, but it's no substitute for a doctor's care.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      it helped some,but i can't afford it anymore.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      it helps, but I have to balance between accepting help and living independently. I need people to see me as a person, not a basket case or someone to be cared for.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      The rumor is true: it does enhance orgasms! Too bad it just didn't help my depression.
      Writing Working / Worked
      It helps a lot!
      Zoloft Not Working
      Next drug, please!
