Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy mother died 6/21/07 at the age of 59. Though she didn't appear to have outright killed herself, I believe she lost her zest for life and abused her body over the years while my father and I tried everything to help her.

Close Anger Management
My mother passed away 6/21/07 and I am just so angry about it! She died from not taking care of herself and I feel betrayed by her doing this. I miss her so much but at the same time, am furious with her. I have always had a bad temper and became involved in martial arts to get a grip on it, among other things. For a long time, I had my anger under control but now it's back with a vengeance. I just want to scream and throw things!
Open Seasonal Affective Disorder
I live in NY state and hate the extended winters we get here. It's not so much the snow as the monochromatic landscape...so much grey and brown. It just goes on too long. I'm looking for additional creative ways to deal with my SAD. Sometimes lounging in a sauna or hot tub at the local Y helps!
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've struggled with my weight for years. I currently weigh 195 and want to get down to 150. I lost weight quickly in 2002 but have gained most of it back. I want to do it right this time so it STAYS off! Looking to support and be supported by others in this battle.
Treatments
- Dancing Working / Worked
- I don't go dancing nearly enough but I love it.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Only to a point. I can exercise until I'm blue in the face but if I'm stuffing said blue face, I'm just negating the experience.
