UHHHH.... Vision Problems...
November 20, 2009 5:30pm
;
A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that she is staying home because she is not feeling well.
"So, what's the matter?" he asks."I have a case of anal glaucoma," she says in a weak voice.
" And what the hell is anal glaucoma?" "I just can't see my ass coming into work today."

Hi Elissa, I just read your journal entry and wanted to thank you for sharing the story and I will try to remember that they are in another place where there is no more pain or sorrow. Until we can see our children again I will endure this pain that I feel and remember them for who they were.

Support Groups
Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy daughter Cara died October 30, 2006 and its rough. Cara's death was an accident... but it seems it was inevitable... Cara's life the last few months was controlled by her addiction... and it was like that final phone call was going to come... no matter how hard we tried... Its been hell...

Close Bipolar Disorder
problems with depression and anxiety since my teens... I've been lucky had some great counselors & educational opportunities that allowed me to accept and stand up for myself in ways I would have never thought I could. I'm dealing with the death of my daughter and I'm not doing so hot but I have tools that I know enough now to help myself... I'm 50 now so I've lived long enough to help myself and maybe you too
Open Depression
Dx bipolar... fact: I am somewhat - far worse times with depression. It can be hell made a good connection with a counselor and education doing fairly well. Since I've been unofficially encouraged to leave depression supporters I'm here... Honesty compels me to admit I suggested first maybe it wasn't the place for me... ty lightholder I followed through and removed depression supporters from my list of communities..I honestly think I can help others and myself through my experiences.
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- the dr who prescribed effexor was so enthusiastic about it I found it difficult to tell him that it was one of the worst meds I'd ever taken and finally dropped it ama
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- years of counseling finally a solid connection with Ms Francis who taught me to stand up for myself she told us over and over we need to stand beside and for ourselves
- Xanax Working / Worked
- helpful on a prn basis for me
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
50 years old... memories can still hurt me. I hesitate to join this community worry... family members will be angry at me for airing family stuff. I find I want to help others more than I want to worry about those family members who might find out and be angry with me. Even though I've written some about my childhood and the abuse mostly I've kept it to myself. What happened as a child has affected every facet of my life and will continue to. I just have to work around it the best I can.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- I function just not terribly well. I believe I had the self confidence beaten out of me years ago... and there's no fixing it.
Open Infidelity
Reading the definition of infidelity some folks would say I don't belong here... but I know how one thing leads to another...
Treatments
- Crying Too Soon to Tell
- I'm sad and I'm mad and I don't know which emotion is strongest. I saw where my husband had joined a senior partner group. read his profile... legally separated... OH???
Open Sexual Abuse
Like too many kids adults took advantage of my natural need for love and approval... For years I blamed myself...
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
