    • I’m With You

      From JustMe09 Friday

      I just want you to know I with you...

    • Flower

      From DonnaB49 Thursday

      Apparently the hurt doesn't go away but in time you will be able to deal with it better and function more normally. This is the first time I have been completely on my own and I'm still having health issues which is interfering with things I need to do like work to provide myself with a living. I'm currently living on my savings. My state disability is exhausted and although it looks like I will receive unemployment benefits, it won't be enough to make much of a difference. Just when it looks like I'll be better to look for work then something comes up.

    • Chocolate

      From DonnaB49 November 18

      I miss my mom and can't believe she has been gone a year and a half. Usually anyone that contacts me on line is gone by the time I figure out how to send a reply. I use the library computer so I have limited time so I haven't tried it much.

      From DonnaB49 November 18

    • Close Depression

      Not sure at this point what if any dx would apply...married and miserable...madly in love with my 20 month old twins...taking care of my live in mom who is elderly and sick. It just goes on and on and I sit and count the minutes until I can go to bed and not have to take care of anyone or think or worry anymore. What's new?

    • Close Caregivers

      I am the mom of four, most recently of twins who are now 20 months old. My little girl is a special needs child and I have practically become a nurse out of necessity to take care of her. In October my mom who has COPD and Emphysema moved in with us and I am now caring for her. Somewhere in there I also have two other older children who live with their dad and a new husband and myself... there are not enough hours in the day to manage everything.

    • Open Twins, Triplets & More

      I am the mom of 20 month old twins, one with special health needs and issues. My life is insane in an organized chaotic sort of way. I am a prisoner in my own house, lonely and feeling very separated from the coherant intelligent outside world. Would love to talk to other moms who know where I'm coming from if there are some out there.

    • Open Degenerative Disc Disease

      I've been dx'd with degenerative disc disease about four years ago. Had fusion on two vertibrea in my neck and at that time I had three ruptured discs but only two were operated on. Now four years later my neck is killing me again. I'm afraid to turn it to the left for fear of getting that stabbed with an ice pick feeling and my right upper arm is painful and weak as well. I also have carpal tunnel in my right wrist and am starting to think that the only soloution is another trip to doc.

    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      Mom of twins, age 2, and a 16 year old and 13 year old...I'm busy busy busy.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      On Valentines day of this my year I lost my dear sweet mom. The doctors say she died a painless death....it may have been painless for her but it was sheer agony for me. I don't think I will ever get the images of that whole night out of my mind. I miss her terribly, she was my best friend, my biggest fan, my confidant and the only person who truly loved me no strings attatched...I don't know what to do with myself and these thoughts and feelings. I have no one to talk to now that she's gone

      Treatments

      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      I cry myself to sleep most nights missing her and going over everythng in my head...it is torture.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      As long as I keep focused on something I have control over or that I can accomplish, it seems to help a little.
      Prayer Too Soon to Tell
      Don't know what to say here....I'm lost.
      Remembering Somewhat Helpful
      I spend much of my day thinking about my mom antd dad and my life with them...it helps a little to try to remember what made our life so special...
