Open Brain / CNS Tumors
Type: Other

Don't know if I fit in here, but I've got an adenoma on my pituitary gland. I just found out about it so I'm in the process of testing to see what on earth it's doing so maybe I can get it removed because it's really cramping my style right now! And making me really sick...

Open Anxiety

Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Relative

Still trying to grieve the loss of the person who really meant the most to me through out my childhood, my grandma. She was my whole world. She made me feel like I mattered. When my world was falling apart, she built me back up. When my day was bad, she made it better. When no one else cared about me, she still did. When no one paid attention to me, she did. She was my rock, my light, my everything. I miss her everyday. I wish she was still here. I want just one more day with her.
