I am a 42 year old, engaged, mother of 24 year old & grandma of a 5 year old. I have chronic depression and severe asthma and am a recovering alcoholic. I have recently realized that I am tired of feeling crappy so I have chosen my attitude but have found that I need support to keep that attitude. Then I would also like to support those who want it, as well. I belief in spiritualism, I am passionate about education, several types of recovery, and depression.

It's been forever and a day since I've heard from you. I hope all is well.
It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears. ~ Irish Proverb
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

How are you doing? Where's the relationship at now? I know you felt like you were both forcing it instead of enjoying it. I hope things get better for you.

I was diagnosed with severe asthma in 1993, but have had asthma since 1976. In 1993 I had developed respiratory acidosis and woke in the hospital 9 days later from a drug induced coma and on a respirator. That is when my true knowledge of asthma and allergies began. At one time I was on 15 meds and have slowly gotton down to 6 meds. I take 5 everyday and 1 twice a day and then I have escape inhaler. So I lots experience with asthma. Also depression & anxiety. Many other things as well.
I had a stillborn June 1, 1989. Had an autopsy and doctor said that it was Potters Syndrome. He said this was quite common. He said that there is no way of detecting it before labor. It is a lack of/failure of the kidneys, which produces amniotic fluid (lack of) which builds the lungs (lack of). I didn't believe in anything at the time. I have learned that I have to believe in order to live. Now 19 years later I see that if was a blessing for everyone that this happened.
I have had 4 children. My first was fine, no complications. Then had a miscarriage, then an abortion, and then a stillborn. Have never healed, probably never will. All that comes to mind is what a shame. No kids since. It has been 19 years. Thank god for my 1 and only daughter.
Have been in recovery for 18 years. Have learned so many wonderful and interesting things. Just want to keep learning.
I have had 4 attempts in my lifetime so far, all were before the age of 18. One was in 3rd grade with a male 3rd grader, someone who knew my uncle, my dad, and an old best friend. None got very far but was very scarey and definately effected my trust.
Left my husband in 2000 and started having anxiety attacks about a year later, don't know if related or not but believe it was due to fear. Thought I was having a heartattack or something. For about 2 years I had different extremes. Couple times debilitated, couldn't leave my bedroom and couldn't stop crying for about 3 days each time. Always shakey. About 2 years ago it finally stopped. Recently started with small shakes again, had 1 attack at the dentist. Am going back to my tapes.
Divorced nine years and am in engaged relationship. Both recovering alcoholics for many years, been together for 3 years.
