    • Close Miscarriage

      I recently remarried, and my new husband and I very much would like to have a family. We finally became pregnant in Dec. 2006. I made it to 6 weeks, and I miscarried. I was devestated. I can't remember a time where I felt so alone. I have good days and I have bad days. Some days I don't want to get out of bed. I don't know how to move on, I don't know what to do. That is why I am here. To meet others who are like me, who know how I feel!

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      This helps most of the times. Just gets all of my frustrations out. But it is only a temporary fix.
      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      Writing Working / Worked
    • Close Depression

      I feel so alone. My husband doesn't know how to help. He always feels like he'll say the wrong thing and upset me more. I want the baby I miscarried back, and there's nothing I can do that will ever make that make that happen!

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I was going for awhile, but I stopped going because I felt better. I am thinking of going back. There are so many issues that I need to work through!
      Writing Working / Worked
    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      I am mommy to 2 wonderful daughters! Novalee is 7 and Leilani is 5. They are my life! They are also 2 of the smartest and articulate children I have ever known and I am so proud of them! Novalee is in 1st grade and Leilani is in preschool.

      Treatments

      Education (School) Working / Worked
      My children love school and they are so excited to learn and try new things!
      Listening Working / Worked
      Patience Working / Worked
      They definatley try to test my patience quite a bit. Because their father and I are divorced they often go through rebellious stages and do not like to do what they are told.
    • Open Separation Anxiety

      My children live with there father about 900 miles away from me. When I divorced we decided that the children would live with them. I only see them about every six months or so, because you can only get out of the city I live in by plane and it is super expensive. So many people tell me that I am a bad mother for not living closer to them and I stuggle every day with my decision. I always wonder if I made the right one. I just them so much! Feels like a huge piece of my heart is missing!

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      I love music, and it can be so calming sometimes!
      Pets Working / Worked
      I have 1 dog and 1 cat. My dog is more attached to my husband, but my kitty knows when I am sad and will just lay with me!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I've talked to a counselor many times, then I stop going. I know I need to see one on a regular basis, or things will never get better!
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have been trying to lose weight for almost 2 years. I am about 50 pounds overweight and I never thought I would let myself get this bad. I think my infertility has a lot to do with the fact that I am overweight. My husband is very overweight as well and told him that for health reasons that he needs to lose weight. I just find it so hard to eat the right things, when there are bad foods everywhere! It's just to easy to eat things that are bad for you. I have no idea where to start!

      Treatments

      Counting Calories Not Working
      I try to eat things that are better for me, and monitor my calorie intake, and it works for awhile, but it's always back to the old ways!
      Eating Healthier Foods Somewhat Helpful
      Works for awhile, but I lack self control and will always go back to the old ways!
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I've started walking to work with my husband in the morning and that's nice. And I play volleyball at the gym once a week. But I need to go more often!
