Who Exactly is Loretta?
Hello friends;My name is Loretta, Loretts, Retts, whatever... I'm a 27 year old aboriganial truck driving social worker and I live in a small Native community in Northern Ontario with my partner of 11 years Jason and my dog Rusty. I come from a difficult background and my family is very unsupportive and unaware even of the extent of the challenges and problems I face day in and day out. I'm the kind of person who smiles and at the same time my heart is aches inside. I suffer from depression, infertility, chronic pain due to a cervical sprain and soft tissue damage in my neck and shoulders, I have symptoms of Fibromyalgia although I've never gotten a diagnosis. I am a Social Service Worker and I worked for Child and Family Services for many years. I recently decided to take a break from Social Work and drive transports or operate heavy equipment for awhile and see if the grass is really greener on the other side. I came here because I have no other place to go. I need some support and I'm in search of a community who UNDERSTANDS depression and infertility and all the other problems I face. I can't even talk tomy family or my partner about the things that trouble me so I figured this outlet might better my chance of survival if you know what I mean. I'm going insane keeping everything bottled inside and if I can spill it here I may be able to get my life back.

spill away hun,here you can vent without fear of judgment or being misunderstood or people getting tired of it like family and friends can sometimes.
You must be a strong person indeed to be a social worker!
