- When I first joined DS, it was for several reasons...including sexual abuse. I've dealt with the other issues, but haven't really focused on this one. Maybe subconsciously, I've tried to ignore it. It's very difficult for me to use the word...
- This is an awsome game, and very simple to play. I'll start by posting a sentence about something I love, and include something I hate about it.I love roses, but I hate thorns.Another example is:I love peace and quiet, but I hate being alone.
- I could trade most of my extended family members because we've never been close. It's terrible sharing the same DNA with people who are more like strangers to me. It's sad to say that my friends are more like family to me, than my actual...
- It's been years since my abusive relationship ended, and I've recieved extensive therapy.....however, I cannot rid myself of the horrible memories. Over the years, they minimized in quantity, but more recently they keep recurring no matter what. ...
- I've reached a point where I'm so fed up about the drama within my family. It's been this way for ages, and time doesn't seem to make any difference. It seems like one big love/hate relationship amongst certain relatives leaning more towards the...
- The past week has been a nightmare for my family....we had to admit mom into the hospital for psyche evaluation. She's in the moderate stages of dementia, and her independent living is now a thing of the past. Within the past year, it seems that...
- Hi, my name is Sabrina....I joined the group because I was diagnosed with asthma since the age of 11 months. So I've had it for my entire life. As a young child, I was hospitalized numerous times with lung collapses, and pneumonia. I spent a...
- Hello...I'm Sabrina, a survivor of domestic and sexual abuse, and I joined DS in February of this year. I'm also battling with severe depression, but it has not defeated me yet.
- Although, I don't post here very often....I'd like to mention how grateful I am for life. I'm struggling with severe depression, and considered the benefits of ending my life, but I can't do it. There are several reasons for my change of heart,...
- Mom's dementia is continually getting worse, because she thinks we're out to get her. She has become unbelievably paranoid and thinks that her children are not trustworthy. My siblings and I feel that mom is no longer capable of handling her own...
- I'm feeling more hopeful than I've felt in a long time. My siblings have decided to get involved in the health care, and well-being of our aging mom. For those who are unaware....mom has dementia, although we have not yet recieved an official...
- I'm feeling pretty crappy today for a number of reasons. Mom and I are at odds, a co-worker pissed me off, and a friend is very ill. Not to mention, the weather is dark, rainy, and gloomy. Moments like this make me want to run away, and the...
- Thanks to dementia, mom has developed an explosive temper, and I'm emotionally worn out from dealing with it. Earlier this morning, she dropped in to visit, and I politely tried to correct a misunderstanding she had regarding another matter. ...
- I spoke with mom over the phone and we had a very enjoyable conversation. She recalled many things from her youth including her childhood, and young adulthood. I knew this account was accurate because I had heard these stories many times before. ...
- My depression is taking hold again, and it scares me. I've been managing my symptoms without medication, but I'm starting to reconsider. Maybe it's time to give the meds a try, so that I can continue facing life's challenges. My life usually...
