Hi everyone. I haven't been on here in awhile because I was in a car accident and haven't been able to work or do much of anything. I'm doing better now but I've been in physical therapy a couple...
Thanks to everyone for the support. :) I'm feeling a little better today. I think I am ready for a move to the east coast. I'm pretty nervous about it because any kind of change always makes me...
Hi everyone. I don't really post anything here but "hanging out" here makes me feel like I'm not alone. I've always been really shy and I don't have any friends to talk to and I have a lot going on...
My goofy family. My boyfriend Brett. How Brett always calls me at least four or five times a day when he's at work. My daughter (Boston Terrier) Lucy. How Lucy gives me a kiss whenever I ask her to...
I just found out about this too. If you do a Google search on Emsam transdermal patch , it brings up an article from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stating that it was approved on Feb 28 2006...
Hello everyone. I was reading in Women's Health magazine about a new anti-depressant patch called Emsam (generic name Selegiline). Has anyone tried this yet? If so, any problems with weight gain?...
Today was my first day. I was really nervous. I cried all night last night worrying about it. It wasn't too bad though. Everyone was really nice to me. It was just really boring. I think I'll feel a...
I've been looking for two long years. I'm relieved (I'll finally have some money) but at the same time I'm kind of freaking out about it. I'm extremely shy and get really stressed out about meeting...
I went through a similar situation with my best friend since 7th grade. She completely stopped talking to me after someone I was dating apparently said something to offend her that I didn't have...
I just heard from a friend today that I haven't talked to in almost 2 years. She called me and appologized for how things ended and for not being a good friend. I was really excited to hear from her...
A journal is a good ideal. I should try that!...
I don't know what to do with myself. My boyfriend is working this weekend (he's a pilot) so I won't see him for a few days. All of my friends are busy or out of town. Even my parents went away for...
A website you might want to try is mercksource.com. The Merck Manual is a medical manual that is used by doctors and pharmacists and contains a ton of information. I did a search on menopause and...
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I can understand how hard it is to deal with. I've had a hard time dealing with losses I've had too. I had two cousins die by the time I was 12 years old. One of...
I just wanted to make a comment about the weight issue. I know how you feel although I've never been big. I've always had serious body image issues. When I look in the mirror I feel disgusting and I...
Hi Rosey and Cloudy. I've seen a couple different therapists in the past and never felt comfortable talking about my problems with anyone. I always just ended up crying the whole time and wouldn't...
I went out for a friend's birthday last night and was surrounded by really nice people who are all very successful and are all getting big promotions or buying houses. One of them is even starting...
I think the only way to really find out is to completely stop lending money to her and stop buying gifts for her. Real friends don't expect to receive gifts or money. If she sticks around and still...
When I'm having a bad day, my dog Lucy brings me all of her toys and then falls asleep on top of me and won't move....
The only way I'm able to fall asleep at night is to watch something kind of boring on tv. For me, the history channel usually does it. There's always some narrator with a deep monotone voice. I just...
Hmmm....I seem to have the opposite problem. My friends all tell me I'm "cheap". My parents both made good money when I was growing up and I always had everything I needed and usually everything I...
Why have you had to see her? Do you work or go to school together? It might be easier for both of you if you can keep your distance until you've both moved on....
Do you have a gym membership? Some days it's hard to get out of bed and do anything, but I always make time to go to the gym. Afterwards, I always feel better for the rest of the day and it gives me...
I don't know if anyone will have any advise for me or not, or even have any sympathy for my problem, but about a week ago I broke up with my boyfriend of 8 months. I'm 27 and he's 39. The age...
Thanks for the info. I work out all the time too. I'm in the gym every day and most days, my body is the only thing I feel good about. That's why I've been so afraid that I could lose the only thing...
I was just wondering how many of you have had weight gain as a side effect. I've been reading about this lately and now I'm scared to try any kind of medication....
Hi bluejay. I know how hard it is to stay away from someone you still have feelings for. This has happened to way too many times. It sounds like your making the right decision. Nobody deserves to be...
Today has been pretty bad. I'm 27 and for at least the last 15 years or so I've felt progressively worse each and every day. It's to the point now where I feel like I don't have anything going for...
...
I know exactly how you feel. I think I'm in the same place you are. I've been depressed for as long as I can remember and I also do not have health insurance. You're not alone in this. I don't know...
I was a 4.0 student until I dropped out of college my junior year and moved back home. I then got a job that I quit about a year ago because I couldn't handle the stress and I felt like everyone...
