Things are better, at least for now. Started back seeing my therapist...oh it was WONDERFUL!!!!! Determined to try and not let things get too much to me. Makes me physically sick along with the depression. Fall was here for a day or two, then summer is trying to come back. Blah on that, hate the heat love the cool. Live in the wrong area then don't I? Oh well, nothing I can do about that unless I win the lottery or a long lost cousin or something pops off and leaves me a fortune. HA! no such thing in my family tree, just a few nuts LOL

Reading, have taken up crocheting again to help keep my arthritic thumb joints moving, taking pictures when I am out and about and cooking if it is something interesting. I like to keep updated on what is going on here in DS. Unfortunately the BP has kept me pretty much down for most my life. I feel like I have wasted most of my life and I want to spend the rest of it doing something fun and profitable but do not know what to do or how to even start again. When I am busy I feel fine, when I am bored I start to feel bad again. Nothing much has ever interested me and that is sad.

I thought I'd just take a second and share with you some thoughts from a daughter who has a mother ;) I don't know why it is this way, but I will tell you that first of all my mom and I are very close. She is my best friend, and we do a lot together. However, for some reason it is the hardest thing for me to do to take her advice! I love her, and I know she's more experienced than me, but when she tries to tell me how to raise my kids I just want to punch her sometimes!! I was a teenage mom who has unfortunately had to grow up while I am raising kids. That comes with a lot of mistakes. I never did any drugs, but I know my mom was scared for my children too in a sense. I know it's probably hard for you to trust anything she does or says and you most likely have the right to feel that way, but take this for what it's worth: The only time I feel like listening to my mom is when I feel like she respects what I am saying and she isn't judging me and that she is allowing me to be an adult. I don't know how much of this pertains to you, but your message reminded me some of what I've been through with my own mom, and I think that at the very least if you PRETEND to respect her opinion, she may be more open to having you make decisions with her.
wow... that sounds frustrating! I'm sure it's no surprise to you as her mother that it sounds like she doesn't like taking responsibility, but it sounds to me like you are doing a great job. Keep it up! YOU are her advocate, and if not you than who?!
Still depressed. Changed e mail addresses and the link didn't work so I had to rejoin.
I have arthritis in the base of both thumbs and Osteopeen arthritis in my lower back. I am in pain a lot but try to ignore it as much as I can to get on with my daily life.
Went thru menopause a few years ago and thought it was going to be smooth sailing after that. LOL Was I WRONG. A whole new set of problems cropped up and it is not so wonderful now.
Cannot take statins, use gemfibrozil and niacin and doing ok.
I, too, suffer from back pain due to stress fractures and 2 wedge deformities. Some days are ok but sure know when I "overdo" it.
Like everyone else I am always a few dollars short now. Cannot buy things I need let alone things I want. Worry all the time about getting thru the month. It is not fun.
My 2nd time joining the group, first got erased. Just for ?'s and answers and advice
Just another grandmother raising a grandchild and I am tired!
Granddaughter dx with ADD w/possible BiPolar. Checking out different rx for the daytime. Absolutely needs something for school.
