About Me
I have two girls, one 28 and one 26 who both live out of the house, and a son who is 20. I also have two grandaughters who are 6 and 3. I've been remarried for almost six years now to a wonderful man. I only have my son at home now, he has A.D.D. and some developmental delays and my mission is to help him live life to the fullest and learn to survive in it. If I can help here at daily strength, I'll put in my 2 cents, if not I'll just take some good advice. I'm out sitting in my garden when its warm thinking a lot. Still wondering where I belong in this world, mostly job wise. It sucks to suffer from anxiety and cronic g.e.r.d but also from back pain on occasion. I'm so good at hiding things no one knows whats going on inside of me unless you know me well. The only people who will know me from the inside are my friends here and my husband and kids.
Interests
Reading, looking after my garden. Coming here to read posts and journals at times. I don't mind making friends here. I do admit to being a bit wary of adding a male friend I don't really know well. No offense intended.

Hug
AWWW thank you so much for the hug. It is so nice to hear from you and I am soooo happy you are relatively pain free. I wish you didnt feel like you have to be in pain to give to the group. I for one love hearing from you and when I hear you say that all is well it gives me such hope that I will also say that someday soon. I love you to pieces and am so glad we are friends. Please dont ever think that you bring others down because you arent in pain, I kind of understand how you feel but I also know that as far as I am concerned,that way of thinking is not online with what we are all about. It really does give me hope as I am sure it does others to hear good news. If you do decide to leave the group though, at least we can still be friends. Oh and please know matter what, if you have a great day or something really good is happening in your life dont hesitate to share it with me. I love you hun and I am so glad to hear from you, and thanks for the hug. Gentle hugs and blessings in return,Christine

Hug
AWWW thank you Kim, you are the best. How have you been? I am trying to get through this hard spot in my recovery and I fell the other day so that makes it harder. I am also going to a new pain managemnt doc in the morning so I am on pins and needles. I still havent been able to start physical therapy or return to work. My appointment for social security is at the end of the month so I am anxious about that too. But besides all that I am great,lol. I sure hope all is well for you. It is hard sometimes to keep in touch but it is nice to hear from you. Please let me know if you need anything. I am always here for you hun, you are such a wonderful person. Gentle hugs and blessings,Christine

Close Anxiety
I've worked in alot of cleaning and serving jobs my entire life. My last job was in a retirement home for almost eight years. Due to a bad back and neck, that job is finished. Currently I'm looking for a job thats easier on the body and trying to remain optimistic, but its hard. I've suffered from anxiety for most of my life. Started with living in an abusive home, with alcoholism involved. I am mildly depressed most of the time and my anxiety has caused me some health problems.
Treatments
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- I took Zoloft years ago during a trying period in my life. I find it made me feel really flat in personality and feelings. I wasn't anxious, but I wasn't anything else either.
Close GERD & Heartburn
I've suffered from g.e.r.d. for the last three years. For the most part its under control but I really wish it would go away. However, I think its become cronic now and my anxiety is working it up these days. Stress has played a key role in why I have g.e.r.d. I don't find that eating any kind of a special diet helps it at all. I don't drink alcohol or coffee, but I do drink tea and water, sometimes milk. Right now I'm jobless and looking everyday.
Treatments
- Nexium Working / Worked
- Seems to have worked for the last 3 years. At different times it seems to not work for what ever reason.
Open Back Pain
I have a laundry list of things wrong along my spine. I can function well enough, but more often then not my back pain and spasms keep me from finding work once again. Its hard to get out of bed some mornings and I hate that this hinders me in alot of ways.
Treatments
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Eases the pain a bit here and there
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- It works in a small way, only if I'm dilligent in the exercises advised, sometimes I'm not tho.
- Relaxation Working / Worked
- Helps moderatley until I do to much in a day, which, for me isn't much really
Open ADHD / ADD
I have a 20 year old son with a.d.d. and shows signs of aspergers syndrome..its confusing to say the least...for him as well
