Hug
Thank you for the unexpected hug and enjoying my Art:)
Prayer
Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It is so hard when your family doesn't talk about it. It makes the person that has it feel like their going through it alone. Please talk to your mom and be there for her when she need's to talk. They are just afraid to talk about it because then it is so REAL but they don't realize that your mom is terrified and she probably doesn't want anyone to worry. I am going through this completely alone going on 2 yrs and it sucks. You need to take care of yourself too. p.s. Thanks for the hug. I needed it.

Hug
I have CML and have an idea of what you are going through. My dad died of pancreatic cancer 2 weeks before my own diagnosis. I've been treated with Gleevec and am in complete cytogenic remission after 6 months of therapy. There is always hope. You might want to try CMLhopeyahoogroups for support, too. Good luck to you and your family. I hope everything turns out fine. Kelly
Hug

Support Groups
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I spent the whole of my teenage life trying to get my parents' love. My mother was regularly abusive to me as I grew up. I have been worrying about her health as she was diagnosed with cancer last year (she is getting better) but she pushes me away. I became very depressed this past spring due to something discouraging she said to me and I tried to overdose. After my stay in the hospital, my mom told me, If you want to commit suicide, do it elsewhere.
Treatments
- Art Somewhat Helpful
- I took two poetry classes in college. It keeps the pain low but doesn't take it away.
- Leave Working / Worked
- I'm going to graduate college early, get a job, and start a new life.
- Psychotherapy Considering
- I am so depressed I cannot sleep or eat. I will probably need to consider some form of therapy in the future.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I have been writing a lot in my journal and finally letting a few close friends know what I'm going through. Speaking out is helping out so much.
Close Breakups & Divorce
I have a best guy friend; we do everything together. Recently he started talking to me about this girl he likes at work. He even asked her out. He only talks to me about her since he's quite a private person. Now when I drive around the city, I just remember all the places we went together. I think of how he and this girl will do all the fun things we used to do. It's hard to understand how I'm not the girl in his life. Most likely I was or am in love with him, and now I'm afraid to lose him.
Treatments
- Leave Not Working
- I tried to not call or see him, but when he left for vacay recently I started feeling really empty and we ended up talking on the phone for two hours.
- Music Not Working
- Listening to too many songs about girls who've liked their best friends...
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Talking to my friends about it has somewhat helped. I've told them I resolve to get over him, but it is one thing to think you're over him and another to actually feel it.
- Time Too Soon to Tell
- Hopefully this will be a good cure!
Open Chemotherapy
LoveWillHappen hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
My mom has leukemia. I am a college student doing premedical studies so I can become a good doctor when I grow up. Recently it's been really hard to concentrate on my studies. This is the only support I can find, especially when I am in a pre-med heavy environment. My family has a culture of not discussing medical issues, and thus I can't talk about this with my dad, who is struggling a lot with this. I am worried about everyone in my family, but I can't do anything.
