Awe Grandma J, I am sorry you have been going through this, it is awful when you have created a family business that your children will be able to carry on for you, and then to have fractures within...
Big hugs to you Lil Ole Kitt, May you find the strength you need in this difficult time, and may the difficult time pass quickly...
Hey Kiddo, Before you slip away for a bit, let us know how you get on after tomorrows appointment. I am hoping for some good results from that appointment as you have been able to be honest with her...
I was answering this via email Jess, but will post it here, this may help someone else that may be going through what you are, so I will post my answer here. Thanks for asking me the question Jess, I...
Hi Elf, Yes it can be addictive. It is my favourite medication for the very reason you have stated, but it has never been prescribed for me, and I have never asked for it from my Dr either....
DW, I hope you do come back and post, now I am worried. My pet peeve is not being understood. But I create that too as I never let anyone in to see all the muck (except for one friend)...
Wow, your poor leg Laura, I can very much understand your aversion if you had such an awful body reaction....
Jess, There are very few people that can handle the truth when it is told to them. Be very gaurded with what you tell others, (apart from your counsellor and adults you trust) I don't know what truth...
Morn Jess, I am very proud that when your psychologist phoned, you answered honestly with what you were thinking. (mostly) She at least will not waste time on Monday as she knows precisly where you...
Well done Jess, Looks like you have had a break through on a few issues. It is all new learning for you, and I am pleased you have listen to what other people have said. With guilt, it is one off...
Awe SC, that hit the ole heart, *flings arms round SC and whispers, thankyou my friend* Heres one for you. You mean the world to so many people, I hope you know that and feel that and understand many...
Awe SC, that's so cute, your kids are lucky to have you...
Welcome over Laura, It is great to see you visit us. You really do have alot to contend with, I really feel for you. Well, my first thought when I saw your title was going through in my head some of...
Hey Kiddo, I can see what you are trying to do, you are trying to push us away but it's not working as we care about you. I have told you many times, I want you to learn from my mistakes. Do you know...
Hey Kiddo, There you are, Happy New Year to our Lil Ole Jess, you have been missed around here. You know I won’t beat around the bush with you, I will be straight up, so that being said, here goes....
When my mind wonders to the dark place you are in Jamiee, I tell myself, as long as I am feeling the pain, I am alive. I have faced death in a very real way many times at the hands of others, and I...
I am really pleased that you are feeling good coming off your meds, but for many of the members here, it is not an option, many that post here have lived through some really difficult things which...
DW, when was the last time you checked, lol For me opening up, does make me far worse, for me it is normal. Pandora box is better left shut for me, too many things come up and the emotions are too...
Hey DW, I remember you, welcome, I am pleased that you introduced yourself here as well, great to see you. I had been thinking of you lately. (who are you you maybe thinking, lol) I too sometimes...
Very much so for me Ocean, the smallest job can seem too hard sometimes....
Ocean, I can't imagine facing that each day and really feel for you. I have the oppisite problem, I don't cry, I really fight tears back, as if I start, I just can't stop for days and I don't have...
From first hand experience Elfy, it will stay with you a while, but really take this to heart. She is likely to have heard every word you said, the hearing normally goes last, and you would have...
Elfy, You can get the morning after pill from your chemist, so that's one worry down, and yes, you will need to see your Dr for the other stuff. Treatment that is sought quickly, will mean quick...
Absolutely, it is always easier to find answers for others, but feel stuck when we are trying to find solutions for ourselves, very normal human nature. It is great to know you can come here, not...
Awesome turn around Hurts, I am so proud you have manged to look at this objectively. I know it hurts, but you are right, once children grow and make their own decisions, they then become responsible...
Jamie, Please don't compare yourself to others, to us, you are just our Jamiee, we don't notice any difference. I too struggle with long posts, especially if people don't paragrath things, or if I...
Hurtz, I know it doesn't feel this way to you, and I understand that, but you have alot more then many here do have. I am so pleased to see you have a supportive Husband and the Grandkids will call...
It is sad, and that office girl doesn't deserve to have you in her life, you are a battler, I can see that, and one of the consequences of battling so many things, is that you know what is important...
Welcome to the forum Hurtz, I agree, having no family around can be very lonely and does become huge in the holiday periods. I too have no family around, but for me, my friends are my family, my...
Awe Greeny, I really feel for you. Ride it out, this too shall pass, be patient and kind to you. Let us know how you are progressing. The annoying thing is there is not much you can do for this as...
Hey, there's how Lil Jess, Kiddo, you were missed, you are sounding heaps better at the moment, even though you acknowledge things are tough, it sounds like you have good supports in place at the...
Cool art, and Kel, you captured a raw emotion there as well, I like your poem. Thanks for sharing. I used to run, and run and run, now, my body is too broken to run and I really miss it. Now, I write...
I agree Elfy, it is hugely refreshing to see you have taken note of what others have said and are prepared to do some work to change your thought patterns. I don't know what your childhood was like,...
Welcome to the forum Sam, Being in constant pain is a real drag, I definitely know how much pain can hinder how you feel and how difficult it can be to get through a normal day. For myself, I make...

Written by a 90 year old This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!! Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer , Cleveland ,...
Michelle, As I read this post, inwardly my heart is braking that you experienced things that you never should have, but over lapping that emotion is a strong surge of pride that you found the courage...
Hey DW, I have only read your post at the moment, and I felt I wanted to say this. I too have suspected I have more than I have been diagnosed with, in fact, I am very certain of it. On investigating...

Hey Elf, I grew up in the envirnoment you speak off, I knew as a kid I couldn't rely on my caregivers for any support, and that didn't change as I matured. As hurtful as it is, the truth is, I...
Lost, Welcome to the forum, it is great that you joined and started this thread. I agree with Amy and Jamiee, you are possibly only going to feel better once you brake away from the abusive...
Red, I think many of us here do that, it is a mechaniusm and it has served me well too....
Awe Lil Ole Kitt, How are you doing today, I am sorry for the medicine muck up, but hope you are a little better today. Our medical issues in NZ are very different to yours in USA, we don;t have to...
Man you guys are the best, I posted knowing I was running a risk as I was speaking about something different than loosing a parent through death, and was coming from a different perspective. Thankyou...
