    • Moment of Peace

      From asadheart July 10

      Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

      You should go to Keene for the pumpkin festival. It's a huge event held downtown in the fall. Parades, great food and of course, billions of pumpkins! I went with Mom and my husband and had a blast:)

    • Close Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      I have a 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 year old and we are 3/4 of the way through our first half day kindergarten year. Next fall our boy will go to kindergarten 1/2 day and our daughter will be in the first grade. So far the only blip in the transition is that my daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD and is taking some meds, has a behavioral plan and we have changed our discipline plan at home. There is a whole lot less spanking and yelling now that we understand how she fuctions.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I started with post partum depression, but it lasted long after my daughter and then my son were born in 2000 and 2002 respectively. I have tried to get off the meds, but the change is so dramatic.

      Treatments

      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Wonderful treatment, immediate results, but improves over 6-8 weeks. No side effects.
    • Open Aneurysms

      A scary experience - headache and nausea at work resulted in a transport to the hospital. They discovered a 5mm aneurysm that had ruptured. I was flown to another hospital where it was clipped and I stayed 10 days. I am home and recouping now.

      Treatments

      Surgery, Brain Working / Worked
      I am told it has worked, no side effects, I feel really lucky.
    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Be the best you can be

      I desire to engage in regular, healthy exercise in order to be more health and battle depression.

      Treatments

      Elliptical Trainer Somewhat Helpful
      If I can get to it regularly it really works for me.
