nothings wrong with you... you still have emotions that you are holding from your past! It takes time to heal! You need to go and talk to someone.. talking helps.. for how hard it is.. it helps! hang in there!

I'm so sorry that your mom is gone. I agree with Shannon....there is definately nothing wrong with you. You have suffered a severe trauma and there are effects of that in many ways.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
