    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have been through 29yrs of physical , mental, emotional and sexual abuse. I have been in many car wrecks, I have had my run in's with the law (I was not always the one in trouble). I have moved over 100 times and only lived alone for short periods of time. I have been attacked in my car and my home by strangers, many times. I have had supervisors at work attack me. I feel like I have a sign on my head that says abuse me.. I don't have anyone to talk to openly about my problems.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have been treated for many problems (such as: fibromyalgia, arthritis, disc disease, bi-polar,depression, anxiety, etc) for aprox. 13yrs now. I have no insurance, so my treatment is limited. I filed for disability but that could take a while. I'm trying to work part time to support myself but it is so hard. I feel alone. I want to give and recieve support.

I had a follow up appoint ment each week for two weeks. This last one I found out my HGB blood level was still going up so the baby is still growing. The last ultra sound showed my uterus to be empty. I am told that I will have a different ultra sound next week to find the baby, it is someplace else. I'm about 8-10weeks.

It kills me that I can't heilp. Im tired of doctors, and nurses, and waiting rooms, and pills and excueses, bills, and etc.
