Close Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the SkinI have had psoriasis since I was about 16. Basically it is on my elbows and knees and flares during the winter or when I am really stressed. It does not really bother me other than it is an annoyance I would rather not have. I hate when I am wearing shorts and someone says what is that on your knees. I would love to get rid of it but then wouldn't we all

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy father had been sick for 15 years and basically should not have lived that long. He passed away over a year ago. Even though I know he is out of pain it is still hard to deal with a lot of the time. Holidays are the worst and then there are the things in everyday life that remind you of the person. i know that losing a loved one is never easy but I need help to get things in my mind and heart settled if that makes any sense.

Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I am a stepparent of a 14 and almost 16 year old. It is a challenge getting to know what to expect and what not to expect. The 14 year old is a boy who goes through mood swings like he is PMSing sometimes and I know that he has been through a lot in his short life and is testing me but I have been around long enough that things need to settle down some. Any input on dealing with teenagers is appreciated

Open Migraine Headaches
I have been suffering from Migraines from the age of 16. I suffer from at least 1 a month because of hormones additional ones come from stress or allergies to artifical sweetners and red grapes.I take a preventive everyday and then I have something else for when I get the headache. I start by getting lines through my vision and then I will either get numbness in my hands and then the headache or just the headache.

Open Step Families
I have been married for 2 years to a wonderful man. I became a stepmom and now have a 14 year old stepson and almost 16 year old stepdaughter. My stepdaughter and I for the most part get along well. My stepson and I definitely have our moments. We have a string of really good weekends and then one or two really bad. My husband tries to be fair but then wants to be their best friend so I am always the bad guy and it drives me crazy. I do not always handle that so well.

My husband and I have been married almost 4 years and we have had our ups and downs. Most of which have been related to my stepchildren. The first year was the hardest and we are working on having a relationship that includes the kids but first and foremost takes care of us.
