Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 , Yes, it can be due to having a child with disabilities. My life improved when I got counseling. I would recommend it for everyone. It's hard to find the time but is also important not only for you but for your relationships with everyone. I'm sure we can all say been there done that. Know you're ok and a loving person. Take life only for a day, remember to make this day have one positive and then try to think only of that when you go to bed. Then take tomorrow only for a day. If you can't make it through the day take it for an hour at a time. If you can't find anything positive just remember you have been given the gift of another day.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 , I am so pleased that your life has improved. Very glad that you and your girlfriend are able to discuss these things. I have a friend that is male (really, he is just a friend), and he was on all those meds and he and his wife (see I told you it was just a friend) managed to have 4 beautiful kids. Don't sweat those evaluation tests....you can drive yourself nuts worrying about those tests. In the big scheme of life, they are very small, but a very necessary step towards the ultimate gift of life - the liver transplant. I've been on the transplant list now for a full year (sigh). I am still fairly healthy, although there are days that I just wish it was over with (the transplant, not life), but then the next day I get a second wind and do remarkably well. My family doctor, whom I don't go to much because most of my problems are " specialist " related, did a blood test and found my hemoglobin to be 8.2...needless to say he freaked out, but I remained calm and said, " yeah, it was like that a year ago, and I just can't seem to get it back up " He was amazed that I didn't freak out. I explained that with everything I've been through it takes something really big to get me freakin. At work we are going to a new computer software SAP. Everybody at work is frantic and worrying about how it will impact their lives, will they be able to do their jobs, will they learn it quickly.....and I just chuckle and say, 'Wait until you have something that really is 'freakable'. Glad to hear things are going good. Cindy Baudoux-Northrup ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Kate, I hope things start to look up for you. Having 2 boys of my own and a step daughter, I know how stressful it can all be and frustrating at times as well. My thoughts are with you and I hope things being to settle down......... Jen update Hi. I've been reading, but not writing that much lately. I feel so overwhelmed with family life; there is much rage and strife going on here, too much to even go into. I am trying to switch the emails to my yahoo address, but things still keep coming to my other account, so I don't have much, if any, privacy. So, I can't say much at this time in terms of home life...I am very depressed. I think my increased fatigue level, and my constant 'grazing' (i.e. eating) is due to the depression.I just got back from a trip to Syracuse for hockey. It was 4 hours up and 4 and a half back. I drove over 500 miles in 2 days. I'm beat.I am having trouble with my 10 year old, and his lack of motivation, involvement and interest in school and reading. I am at my wit's end, and have emailed his teacher. She has not responded, so I'm to say the least, discouraged. Just send some good thoughts my way to get throu gh all this crap that I'm dealing with. I don't mean to be a downer, I'm just distraught right now about a few things.Thanks. love to all,KateKate No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.862 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/3190 - Release Date: 10/11/10 02:34:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
