    • Hug

      From fmom October 17, 2007

      Thank you so much for the hug, and for the friend invite..I have been emotionally abused all my life from my mom and now it's still going on, and i don't know how to stop it! With me being the foster kids primary caregiver, it's seriously draining and i finally snapped with everything that i have to deal with..My husband is a huge support for me even though he works full time, and i have a wonderful sister to support me as well! Lately i have been having suicidal thoughts cause i feel if i could just die that everyone else around would be happy cause then they wouldn't have to deal with me...it's great to know that there are other ppl that know what i'm going through, so in a way i'm not totally alone!

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      Hi, my daughter is 12 yrs of age. She was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 7. It has been an emotional roller coaster. She is a very sweet, caring, loving child, and she can be so mean, hurtful, hateful, and very difficult to deal with. As she gets older, she becomes more difficult. I know that part of it is her natural progression in life as a pre-teen, but some has become un-managable. But we are working on it. I'm here for others stories and advice. Thank you.

      Hi, my name is Patti, I'm 43. I have grade 4 of 5 arthritis in both my knees. I first noticed the aches around my first pregnancy at 28. No one would listen. Now that I'm getting older the doc's have finally started listening. Some days are good, some not so good. But I'm plugging along..

    • Open Anxiety

      Hi, I was diagnosed with axiety about 3 yrs ago during a crisis in my life. My doc put me on zoloft and klonopin as needed. It has helped me so much over the past few years. I still have attacks, but with therapy and meds, I have learned what to look for, and coping skills to get me through them.
