Support Groups
Close Diabetes Type 2
Type 2 diagnosed in 2004 and hate taking meds but need to. Blood Pressure and cholestrol is high too. Trying to keep it all under control. Some days harder than others.
Treatments
- Metformin Not Working
- I don't care for metformin since I find the BS doesn't go down much. But the dr has me on it so I take it.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I love to walk so it is good for me and eating is something more of a challenge here. I love food so it makes it harder but I keep mindful of that.
Close Rosacea
I have rosacea since 1995 and it comes and goes with the redness. My skin is very sensitive and I can't put anything on it or it will break out badly.
Treatments
- MetroGel Working / Worked
- It is ok as a topical base but I can hardly afford it anymore. So I use Aloe Vera gel which works the same way and costs less.
Open Sexual Abuse
I am an incest survivor. I am ok now but there are triggers and memories that won't go away. I find prayer works well and so does counselling. I made it out alive and beat the odds that were always stacked against me. I left the DNA clan a long time ago and never looked back. I am better than them and have a great track record of healing. It wasn't easy but I did it, I won I survived I victoried!
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It was horrible living at home with my parents enduring the abuse consistently. My father would rape me over anything from being drunk to just being stupid and ignorant.
Open Stress Management
I live day to day with work related stress.
Treatments
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Bullied all day long at work with a bully boss. Hard to take some days and other days I cope better. Support groups and writing helps a great deal. DS really helps =)
Open Breast Cancer
I had a lump removed 100% benigh but I do mamos all the time and yearly clinical ones religiously.
Open Depression
I grapple with depression off and on and usually after stress builds up.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking with people and maintaining my sense of humour works.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I experience emotional abuse, physical and sexual abuse. I am so damn tired of it too. Enough!
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- It does work well if you can get in to see a therapist.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- The best thing I ever did was come here. I have found gold on this site and made great friends who care.
