    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      i lost my mom 4 years ago in May. i can't move on or won't move on-not sure which. i am riddled with guilt. i am sad or mad always. no not always there are days i am numb. i think this is having an impact on my family. i can't look at pictures or talk about her. actually i refuse to talk about her. i am angry at her for leaving me. my so called friends and family think i should get over it already. how do you get over someone you didn't even know meant so much to you?

      Treatments

      Prayer Too Soon to Tell
      not sure if this has worked, i am still mad. i am mad at god i think for taking her away. i hate "she's in a better place" i want her back with me.
    • Close Depression

      i have not been medically diagnosed as depressed. i lost my mom almost 4 years ago and have lost myself--i put on the happy face and do what is expected. i take my kids to school and then come home and jump back into bed til i have to pick them up. i now have a part time job which keeps me busy--i sometime hide in the washroom and cry but am getting better. i still cry myself to sleep but still have no desire to the things i loved. i used to read now have no interest in it.

      i am mom to two girls, 15 and 8 3/4--b-day in may. they are pretty good kids. I am a married single mom. (it's gotten alot better in the last 2-3 years.) My daughter is a freshman at a school she didn't want to attend and started to rebel. bad grades and lying. i punish and yell and nothing so i gave it up. let her dad start chiming in. God forbid she thinks "he's the bad guy". she wants to be "emo" what the heck is this crap? ok no drugs no sex i can deal...i hope so.

    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Pollen

      I have allergies, you name it mold, grass, weeds, pollen, trees,dust...but not dogs. That's weird. I don't have a dog though. I used to take claritin-doesn't work any more. i am now on zyrtec and flonase spray. The eyes are the worse cause i'm a hard contact wearer. Some days are just unbearable. I'm screwed if i can't wear contacts. I am almost blind in one eye.

      Treatments

      Allegra Working / Worked
      worked for a while
      Zyrtec Working / Worked
      works great. Don't leave home without it.
      Flonase Working / Worked
      o.k if you don't mind the taste. gross.

Now i have another lump. I used to notice more around period so blew off as fibroids which they said will come and go. well now it's bigger. I'm worried.
