About Me
I have been married 32 years and have a wonderful husband, daughter and son-in-law. I have always been a strong, self sufficient, take charge kind of person. About 2 years ago it all changed. I lost control of everything. I cried all the time, wouldn't eat, lost interest in everything and put my family through hell. I thought I was losing my mind. I wouldn't go to a doctor until my daughter had a complete meltdown worrying about me and I agreed to go. I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I am now on medication and have learned to talk about my feelings instead of bottling everything up. I am gradually returning to my former self but it is taking a long time and I am afraid of back sliding and becoming that person again.

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was a zombie! I lost interest in everything. I didn't eat(lost 55 lbs.),talk, or take care of myself or family. I thought I was losing my mind. All I did was cry. My family was suffering and finally my daughter took charge and forced me to go to the doctor. I am on medication now and gradually returning to my old self.
Treatments
Close Anemia
Type: Iron Deficiency AnemiaHad a gastric bypass in 1983 and have suffered with chronic anemia for 25 years.
Treatments
- Iron Working / Worked
Open Gastric Bypass Surgery
I had a bypass in 1983(one of the first). I lost 165lbs. in 11 months. I have had a lot of physical and emotional problems but the weight has stayed off.
Open Pet Bereavement
I lost my beloved dog Chip last year. He was the center of our family, "Our baby". The pain is still unbearable. Everything we planned or did revolved around Chip. He wasn't a pet, he was our son.
Open Menopause
I started menopause at the age of 40. It has been 10 years and I am still having hot flashes. The doctor prescribed Premarin but it is so expensive and I am worried about cancer so I don't use it. I just suffer through it but it is getting tiresome.
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
We had to make the decision to take my mother off life support at the ag of 49 because all of her organs shut down because of alcohol. My brother is so far gone I don't expect him to live much longer and I am dreading that knock on the door. No matter what you do you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. It tears me apart.
Open Raynaud's Disease
I have had Raynaud's disease for 7 years. Cold and stress trigger it. My immune system is always in overdrive. I am always cold except when I am having a hot flash. It stinks having to wear thermal underwear in April but I do. My immune system is always in overdrive and the doctors have done every test imaginable and can't find the reason.
Open Pancreatic Cancer
