I have had a sever phobia of vomit for most of my life...I am 40 yrs old, and have had this fear since first grade. It's horrible, b/c you cannot avoid it. I have 2 kids..well, teenagers now, and i don't know how i made it through their younger years....it's horrible.

Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Well, i've smoked for 18 yrs and i know i will die from it...i have tried about 3 times to quit..no luck yet. I love smoking, but hate it too. My father is dying as we speak from emphysema, lung cancer, heart attack, stroke from smoking. You would think i would take a hint. I know i will suffer the same as he does.

Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I am the proud mother of 2 boys...16 and 13. They are my world....i love them more than life itself and only want them to be happy. Well, i am having a very hard time with my oldest son. He is depressed i do believe. It breaks my heart. I don't know what to do about it. He is unfortunetly just like his father and that is not a good sign at all. They are like oil and water, and i'm stuck in between. It's hard to know what to do or say anymore. I need some advice and help if anyone wants to listen.
Open Bereavement
I lost my dad on Dec. 30th 2006. This is the first time i can actually get on here and write about it. It is so sad, i miss him so very much. He was 72 yrs. old. He had lung cancer/emphysema. He was such a good and honest father. I wanted more time with him...i wanted to see him more often. We all miss him terrible...now he has a bday coming up and it's going tobe so hard. I will go visit his grave that day for sure. Take him a gift. I look at his pic every night.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
Open Arrhythmias
Type: TachycardiaJust had an episode yesterday, went to the er...still have to see a cardiologist...this is very scary to me.
Open Menopause
I guess im in the beginnings of menopause....perimenopause is what they call it i think. I suffer from irregular periods, hot flashes, irritability and the works. It's not fun and i know you all know this:) Hope to share some stories and experiences with you all.
Open Tooth Grinding
I have been grinding my teeth for as long as i remember...guess it has something to do with all my fears and anxiety of life:(
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I have been married to my husband for almost 19 yrs and have suffered from his verbal abuse myself, and he has done this to both of our sons for 17 yrs....i don't know how to stop him, nor do i know how to explain to my kids why he does it. It breaks my heart and soul to let this happen...i'm stuck between breaking up my family, and letting my sons continue to live this way. I'm losing my mind i think.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
- All i do is pray that he will change. Before it's too late, which i think it is anyway, my oldest sons shows the same signs of being a mental/verbal abuser himself.
