      No I haven't, but aside from my commenting on her journals we haven't talked in a long time. I hope she's ok too.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Separated since September 15, 2007, divorce final February 29, 2008. He's living with his old high school girlfriend and her daughter now.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He was just going through the motions, he'd already started his affair before we ever went to our first counseling session. Maybe if we'd gone sooner ... but who knows for sure.
      Pets Working / Worked
      My cat is sometimes all that keeps me going. He loves me unconditionally, and stays by my side constantly. I think he somehow knows that I need him even more right now.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Haven't gone for a while, my counselor just RETIRED. I really don't want to start all over again with a new one. :-(
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Talking to people here on DS, and a couple of of people in my real life, has gotten me through some really rough times.
      Time Working / Worked
    • Close Infidelity

      My husband found his old high-school girlfriend on classmates.com ... you can probably guess the rest of my story.

    • Open Menopause

      I'm 52, have been having perimenopausal symptoms for about 10 years. My mother and other women in my family all had hysterectomies, so I have no female relatives who've had a natural menopause.

      Treatments

      Black Cohosh Working / Worked
      Worked quite well on hot flashes.
      Estroven Working / Worked
      Extra strength version worked on mood swings & irritability, but I broke out in a rash and had to stop taking it.
    • Open Healthy Sex

      Janell hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Anemia
      Type: Iron Deficiency Anemia

      I've been told that I'm "anemic" most of my life, whenever I've had routine blood tests. My current doctor has me taking prescription iron pills, and I'm still anemic, so I'm looking to find out what other things I can do about this.

      Treatments

      Iron Somewhat Helpful
      I'm on my 4th month of prescription iron, and it's helped marginally, but not nearly as much as I'd hoped.
