I am a 29-year-old mom of two of the most beautiful, brilliant miracles! At 6 and 8, Will & Brea are the best things I have ever had in my life! With all of the aweful things that have happened in my life over the past year, they are the only thing that keeps me going! Without them I would be lost! I am also a cancer survivor. It has been 9 1/2 years since I went into remission on New Years Eve 1999. I was told I would not ever have children which devastated me. However, I did something I love to do; proved the doctors wrong! Other than that, I have been married twice. The first time was shortly before being diagnosed with cancer. I think the tumor (which truly was stopping some of the oxygen from reaching my brain!) caused me to make that mistake! He was a con-artist and cheater. I left him five months after marrying him when he refused to let me leave and tried to hit me! My second husband turned out to be even less of a man than the first. He succeeded in his abuse for most of our marriage and tramatized my kids! We are in the midst of a nasty divorce that was initiated by him as he is and unbeknonst to me (until a couple years ago) always has been gay! I currently am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Fibromyalgia and IBS. (all of which suck!) I am working hard to get through the disability system as well as to work with my doctors to find a regimine that will get me functional. The three of us live with the most kind, generous, giving people in the world who are two of my closest friends! They keep me going through the caos I find my life constantly in!

I have been fighting RSD and Fibromyalgia for almos a year and hate them both! But they won't win because I have two beautiful miracles who need me!
I have survived abuse, cancer, divorce from a criminal, marriage to a gay man (and still married to him), a drug addicted mom, a scitzophrenic step-dad, my dad's death, miscarriage, death of friends, (currently surviving) Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and was just recently fired from my job of almost five years when I am the only breadwinner and it was my only insurance. I think anxiety is going to be a permanant part of my life!!!
I haven't divorced yet and am not sure if I will. However, my husband is gay...
I was fired from my job of five years recently :o(
I have Fibromyalgia which will likely cause me pain on some level the rest of my life :o(
Geez...where do I start! I was already in financial straights...now I have lost my job of nearly five years while dealing with major health issues!!!
I was diagnosed with Hodgkins stage 2b unfavorable in May 1999 (just after my 20th birthday)...I survived 10 treatments of ABVD chemotherapy and 6 weeks of Upper Mantle Radiation. I heard the words that every patient wants to hear on New years Eve 1999. I was in remission!
I am extremely overweight due to poor eating, no exercise (due to pain) and medication for Fibromyalgia. I want to learn to eat healthy.
I have panic attacks.
I have two wonderful children who are 5 and 7 (boy and girl.) I can always use advice and support.
Geez...a lot of stress with nowhere to go!!!
So, I joined and then I dropped this group without even saying a word. I will admit that the reason is simple. I am scared! I remember a lot of things that happened, but still have only scraps through dreams and flashbacks of many years of my life. I know they were the worst years and I don't know if I am ready to face them. I know if I don't work through them some how, I will likely self-destruct, like one of those messages in a spy film.
