      From zen6 Thursday

      Thanks for checking on me way back when. I was really in the middle of some stuff back then and ended up joining and then droping off of the map. I'm back again to see if periodic visits might help me to keep my head straight this time. Thanks for being a caring person and reaching out! I hope you are doing better than the last time you send me a hug :). zen

      From OpheliaRising Monday

      Awe! The thing is hunny I think most everyone there will feel the same as you. Your fear is very normal. I think anytime you have that spike in anxiety take a look around at the people there when you go to register and know most are probably experiancing the same as you! :) I know you will do great! Keep that chin up! xoxox

      I was diagnosed with Wilm's Tumor in 1985. I had to have radiation and chemotheraphy. I went into remission, and was suppsose to have yearly check-ups but I stopped going. Lately I've got this wierd feeling that i should get a check up.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I met my Husband when i was 16. Even then there was moments when this light bulb would come on and I would think..There's something seriously wrong here. But that was before the abuse really began. I don't want to go into too much detail.. but I will say that the saddest thing of all is that I'm still married to him.

      Leave Not Working
      I left many times. But he always followed me. I felt like i was in more danger not living with him. I may sound crazy but when I am with him at least i know when to watch my back.
    • Open Miscarriage

      I didn't know i was pregnant until I started having contractions.. I went to the ER and found out i was miscarring. I was devastated. The doctor acted like i was crazy when i began to cry. It was just another medical condition to him.I was 12 weeks. In August I found out that once again I was pregnant. I was thrilled.. then on October 18 I miscarried again. Everyone thinks I should be over "it" by now. But I've lost 2 of my kids.. how can you get over that??

      D&C Somewhat Helpful
