I wish that I had realized that there was medication that could help me with anxiety to this degree decades ago. I'm calmer now that I have ever been, and at only 1/2 of the full dose. I wish that I...

I went to the doctor today, and we discussed my "condition", which she feels is primarily an anxiety disorder than a depressive disorder. I concur, because I've been giving it a great deal of thought...

I have been worse off than this during my life - when I was married. I am no longer married, not since 1992, and was able to take care of myself and my own until now. Now, I am struggling.  But it...

I found out today that they not only kicked me off Tanf, but food stamps as well. Without both, I will be bankrupt by Spring, unless I can find a full time, higher paying job in the immediate...

I was on TANF and in the Aspire program, but I got hired at the Dollar Tree, and they dropped me. There was a clothing allowance that I never got to get, and I have very little in the way of clothes...

One of the problems I've been facing has been the dog that I got for my girl last year. I'm not a dog person, and being so desperately broke, I cannot afford to take the dog to the vet for her annual...

In 1995 my parents, who lived in Maine, got into a car accident and the only one of us that was in Maine with them was my bi-polar brother. As he was so wrapped up in his "condition" I felt it was...

It is 2:10 in the morning, and I can't sleep again. I brought my computer out into the living room so that I wouldn't keep the girl awake, and I sit here completly awake. I took another anti-anxiety...

Last spring I ran into a problem with my 9 year old at her school. Someone was bothering her, and would not stop, so she threatened him. The principal at the school started punishing her by putting...

I turned 52 on Sunday, and the only "birthday" present that I got was a check from my mother. One of my 2 daughters called to wish me a happy birthday.  I guess that I had it coming (or not coming,...

I've been living in rural Maine for 3 years. I have no friends, no social life, and spend most of my time alone. Last week I went to the supermarket and saw a sign in the new dollar store taking...

I sit here, day after day, waiting for another call from the school. Another reason to have to go rescue my girl from them. The more I hear from them, the more worried I become. I had a conversation...

I got a call yesterday, and found out that my girl was sat down before the entire class last year so that all the other children could tell her what she did wrong to upset them. They completely...

It is Monday, again, and the school vacation is overwith. My 9 year old is back at school, and there are auditions tonight so she will be late. I'm here, once again wondering what to do with my...

For the most part, I'm over it (for now). Thanks, everyone, for your support. The weather has been fine, I've been able to actually accomplish some stuff, and i feel better than I have in a...
