Thanks Everyone!!! This really helped. We have an annual Blood Drive at work and I wasn't sure if I could donate or not. I checked at Red Cross and the Online information says it's fine, but yeah...
Huh guess I should double check on all that. I didn't even think about the organ part...just redid my license and told them to keep me as an organ donor. Thanks! :)...
This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if because we have Lupus we shouldn't donate blood? Or does it not matter? Thanks!...

Hi Natalie, I'm sure a lot of us on here can relate to what you are going through. Are you seeing someone? Have you been diagnoised with depression. I personally just met with a therapist for the...
Well like I said I was fine with us ending things...but that was when it was mutual and on good terms. I know I need to be alone right now and really work on getting myself better. I can't be in a...

Thank you everyone for your replies. Shy I could understand what you say except over the weekend I found out my ex b/f is pretty much back with his ex g/f...he brought her home Friday, Saturday, and...
Thanks Scotsgal...I guess my problem is I feel so much for my (well as of last night) exb/f. I some how did it again...I pushed him away. He's exact words to me were "I don't think I'm strong enough...
