I have recently turned chat back on to give it another try however I have a computer that misbehaves when it comes to any chat im, pm, ym, doesn't matter. If you try to chat with me and it suddenly dissappears i didn't 'hang up' on you, my computer just crashed and is forcing me to turn it off and restart it up again. Sorry.

I am 49 y/o & believe I have suffered from anxiety most of my life. Almost 4 yrs ago I ended up on the locked ward diagnosed with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, clinical depression, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior etc.. I think I may also have some PTS. Had maj panic attacks & had gotten to the point of not wanting to leave the house, then get the mail, then not wanting to leave my bed. I am doing better now thanks to treatment but I still struggle with the feelings of impending doom.
I was born with a form of spina bifida. Surgury for that at 18 months of age. At 10 I had spinal fusion for curvature of the spine & a 8 in steel rod placed in my back. I have been told that xrays show arthritis in my back and pelvis. I have period muscle spasms and chronic back pain.
I lost my dad in my 20s mom at 30 now all my aunts and uncles are gone. I had 1 cousin accidently shoot himself in front of both our moms, 1 died of utereine cancer another of lung cancer and his son died in the war. My 11 yr relationship broke up badly. My pretty much only companions are my pets & they are old & going fast had 14 & down to 2 (dogs).
I am 49 and have had over 30 surguries most before I was 11. I am disabled and have nearly constant pain in one or another body part, back, hips, knees, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, abdominal, chest. Dr says xrays show arthritis in my lower back & pelvis & knees. Arthritis runs in the family anyway along with chronic sinusitis which I inherited & get lots of head/ear aches with that as well as throat infections, dr says don't get another like I do it deliberatly.
I am so codependant I almost killed myself when my relationship broke up. I have raised people pleasing to the form of a religion.
I have come out to some folks not to others.
I am certain I have been depressed since at least age 13. 4 yrs ago I became suicidal and ended up in the hospital. I now take Lexapro and have a therapist and attended EA meetings.
I am disabled and have reduced mobility. I have had a weight problem my entire adult life. I have polycystic ovaries which adds to the problem. I am only 4ft 9. I am usually anywhere from 30-100lbs overweight.
I grew up in an alcoholic home. As a disabled child I also grew up with a mother who was overly attached in an unhealthy way. There was 1 sibling with problems and phisical violence and even more verbal violence were commonplace.
I have always experienced unbearable pain with any kind of penewtration and painful rather than pleasurable orgasms. I recently got 3 new drs & was told of numerous conditions that the previous drs should have told me of. I asked 1 of the previous drs about 1 of the conditions & she admitted she knew about it but could give no reason for not telling me. This has not helped my depression.
I am disabled and on a fixed income. It's nearly impossible to afford anything esp drs, hodpitals and meds.
I am disabled and would like to learn about fitness for people with physical challenges.
I have wierd food allergies. Meringue, coconut, marshmallos & green peppers,
I suffered with them foe 27 yrs. Finally had the gall bladder removed. Ended up in the er. The gallbladder nearly exploded.
I was born with club feet. 1 was corrected surgically but muliple surgeries failed to correct the other completely. I wear braces as a result. My ankles are frozen & my toes are deformed. My bones soften at the joints periodically and reform in odd ways that cause pressure points so my shoes have to be custom fitted and made.
I get this from my father's side. I had an aunt who had to quit working because of it. I can sweat in bed at night in the middle of winter with a thin summer nightgown and 1 thin sheet on me and the heat turned down in the house.
49. Soon to be 50. 1 disasterous relationship after another. I am disabled. Probably doesn't help.
Am trying to learn to eat as healthy as possible.
I have been overweight since age 10. It is a constant battle in which I am losing and not in a good way.
I was told by the dr that I am obsessive and compulsive but he didn't call it OCD and I don't do the ritual things. I'm confused.
I not only have always experienced pain on penetration but at orgasm too.
Got them suddenly in 2003. These are the scariest things imaginable. Thought I was over them. Then about 2 weeks ago I had another.
Paraplegiac due to spinea bifidia.
I think I amborderline personality. I have nearly all the symptoms. I know I'm paranoid. Think I may be avoident & anti social and was told by my dr I am obsessive and compulsive.
I am phobic about so many things there isn't room here to list them all.
I grew up in an alcoholic home. There was every type of abuse you could imagine. I have repeated the pattern in my personal relationships none of which have worked out.
Just got diagnosed with this at age 49. I am upset no one ever caught it before as I asked my very first gyn about my symptoms and he told me there was nothing wrong.
I think I have this. I was molested as a child as well as living with physical and emotional abuse and was raped twice since grad hs.
I have had this since age 13. I am 49.
Twice in my life. Once in college by a bus driver. Once at a convention in a hotel by a stranger.
I had back surgury at 10 to prevent further curvature but the surgury was unable to correct the curvature that was present.
I was very young and it didn't last long but still affected me.
I am 49 and I am 4-9 and it's hard to be short.
I have major social anxiety and paranoia and have had as long as I can remember.
I am 49 and was born with myleiomeningoceol, club feet, hip dysplasia, incontinence, some paralysis and loss of sensation.
I have lots of stress in my life that I don't handle well.
Been incontinent all my life. Recently had urostomy surgury performed.
I have acne like my father did. He had it when he died at 78. I can help it but not eliminate it entirely.
I have been doing this With my skin and hair, eyelashes and eyebrows at least 35 yrs and never knew until recently that it's a symptom.
Suffer from alternate constipation and diarreah. Runs on mom's side of family. Lots of pain after eating.
Been learning more about this and really feel it may be an issue. Am going to go to have it looked into by dr.
I would like to learn better anger management because from childhood when I get upset I see red literally and want to injure someone severely. I learned quick to stuff my feelings because I would be punished, ridiculed, yelled at etc only making it worse so I never learned to confront folks and control my anger response properly. I'm afraid of the potential results of not stuffing my feelings like my anger.
The drs keep saying I have this and testing for it because i show symptoms but the blood work all comes back neg. all except 1 test so because of the 1 test and because 1 dr claimed she could feel the beginning of a goiter which i can't detect, they keep testing - it's been yrs of testing they are determined to find it.
Drs can't agree on this. Some do radiology and say i have it some do it and say i dont. I wish they'd decide.
Dxed in 2004 but haveing a hard time accepting it.
Had them from a young age due to chronic constipation. Drs just recently told me they have spontaneouly cleared up since they have found an effective treatment for my constipation.
Have had it ever since college just out of my teens. It happens when I move my head wrong and sometimes is just there and won't go away. Drs thought it was my thyroid and keep testing me but the tests say both yes and no by turns to a thyroid problem so still have the dizziness and no treatment.
I may have this they are not sure yet just that I am susceptable to cysts which infect badly.
On the one hand I am eligible on the other I have such a huge spend down that it never actually pays anything.
Interested in this subject as I have been disabled all my life
try to do this as much as i can
think i may be entering menapause. Experienced my first hot flashes.
I believe my problem began as an infant experiencing multiple seperations from home in a hospital undergoing many frightening and painful experiences without familiar presences.
So bad at 1 point i locked myself in my bedroom and couldn't leave my bed except for the bathroom and a quick nibble of food. Lasted for months.
I am OCD and at times it takes the form of obsessive anxiety over my health
Procrastinator, perfectionist, depression lethal combination for getting things done
