    • About Me

      Hi..I am a 34 year old mother of 2 beautiful children. some things have changed since i first came to daily strength..I was in a very bad relationship with a very dependent alcholic of whom i finally wised up and left. Me and my children are so much better and so much happier now. I am with a wonderful man whom I have known for 15 years and who has just been a Godsend for me and my children. I am very much in love with him and hope to spend the rest of my life with him. I did meet my goal of stopping smoking last year!! Yah!! Im proud of myself. Its been about 3 months now since ive had a smoke..Still working on the weight loss part tho..lol..

    • Close Anxiety

      I was diagnosed with depression and panic attacks 4 years ago after the death of both my parents. Truth be known i was probably having these problems long before then though I didnt know what they were. I have such horrible physical symptoms at times that I rush to the doctor only to be told that it is only the anxiety although i wont be feeling anxious at the time. I'm just looking for friends who feel the same way that I do so that I know that i am not going through this all alone

      Treatments

      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      The meds help some times but most often i let the attack get too far and they dont work. I need something that works really fast and lasts a long time which so far i have not found.
      Xanax Working / Worked
    • Close Arrhythmias

      I was diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions(pvc's) 4 years ago..you know, it feels like your heart is skipping beats but its actually not..anyway they scare me to death but stay pretty much under control if i stay off the caffeine..lol..also having a very rapid heartrate lately and the docs say its just the anxiety but im still worried that there is something really wrong with my heart.

      Treatments

      Atenolol Somewhat Helpful
      It helps most of the time. Especially if i take it when my heart starts racing. Its really good at slowing it down, sometimes too good.
      Xanax Working / Worked
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      I lost both my parents to cancer 4 years ago. They were my strength and it devestated me to lose them. They died only 4 months apart. I hardly had time to grieve for my mother before my father fell ill and soon died as well. I still miss them so much every day, but i know that they are in a better place and i will see them again someday.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes i just have to cry..not for them, but for myself and the fact that they are not with me anymore.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      My father was a minister so I am a very spiritual person and have a very strong faith in God so this helps me very much.
      Xanax Working / Worked
    • Open Obesity

      I have struggled with my weight since i was in junior high school and am still struggling. At the present I weigh in at 230 pounds. Most people say that I do not look like I weigh that much but beleive me i feel it.

      Treatments

      Xanax Working / Worked
    • Open High Blood Pressure

      I have had high blood pressure for years. I take metoprolol 50mg for that and my pvc's.

      Treatments

      Metoprolol Working / Worked
      It works most of the time but may need to add something else lately.
