    • About Me

      38 y/o stay-at-hom mom of two boys, close to age 5 & 2.d 4 1/2 & 1 1/2, contemplating divorce. In past few years I've gone from happy, healthy, social and impulsive to being oftentimes depressed, agitated, angry, frustrated, anxious... My kids keep me happy, my husband drives me crazy and my friends have done their fair share of emotional support. I'm here for advice, insights and to share what I can to help others. I feel blessed to have found this website.

      Welcome to the wonderful, crazy, disfunctional family that's DS. I used to feel so alone and disfunctional, until I found out on here that Everyone is!! BTW don't let the things that he says get to you. He's most likely talking from a veiwpoint of pain and fear. (Can't have a messed up wife!!) What he doesn't realize it that Everyone has their issues.

    • Close Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction

      my husband has physical intimacy issues. tiny when we first met, have grown so in past 8 yrs that, aside from the goodnight peck and regular, brief cuddle, it has been 2 1/2 yrs since we've been physical. Did therapy together, now do on our own, and though he says he is working on it, i see no change and all i've been told is he has desires, but issues, always there, have now grown into a trauma. I get more impatient, angry, frustrated and sad every day. Can anyone suggest anything?

    • Open Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      trich entered my life a few months ago. always one who has some sort of "thing," i am clinically depressed, with add and manic episodes, my dr. tried to lower my zoloft and put me on wellbutrin, which kicked off the pulling. 3 days later, i called him, was told to stop wellbutrin, next day, pulling stopped. but now it is back and it is taking over. amazing how one can pull out a resses' pb cups' sized patch of hair in just one sitting.
