    • About Me

      56 yr old RN i I am a Christian because there has to be a greater power than my own to get me through the last near decade of my life. I tell my g-kids education is the key to power and that life has no promises and no guarentees (never could spell that word)

      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      My oldest girl is my only shoulder and she wants to be there. But she's got my 4 g-kids (3 of them teens) to deal with while going through a divorce. My youngest daughter lives with me . She is autisic/aspergers. I haven't even t old her about the last death because she has not resolved the others. she wakes up nights screaming because she sees their faces(dreams of them). It takes me sometimes an hour to console her

      Time Not Working
      time is not working. Every day some thing happens and I want to go tell that person. But I can't. I have no one who has known me the span of my life like my very dear friend, my mother and my husband
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      I stopped taking it a few months ago because I felt I didnt need it. I take so much medicine I thought that was one I could do without. I didnt realize it was a factor until I started taking a class online with an instructor I recently had. I felt so frustrated and attacked when she commented on my assignment. I was frustrated because I couldnt focus and just get it. I sent her a note telling her that this isnt me. At that point I ordered my Zoloft and decided to find a support group
