Hi y'all, I come again to this forum, hat in hand, asking for advice or support. Everyone probably experiences this to some degree but every morning when I wake up I have my peaceful moment, and then it all rushes in how bad everything is. How I can't help. How it can't be fixed. How I am so far away. So now I spend most mornings crying and it's just hard. Sometimes I find myself walking my dog in the park in the morning just wiping away tears. It's a hard state to get out of too. Today I... Read more ..read more

The title of my thread is really the magic question isn't it? I wish I had an answer for all of us. I hesitated posting here because nothing has definitively happened yet, but we are all grieving so deeply. My Aunt whose name is my middle name and is my godmother was on the arthritis medication Humira and was told one of the side effects would be discomfort. I am not a doctor and don't pretend to be, but if you are on this medication and having severe pain still, PLEASE go see someone. In... Read more ..read more

It's coming up the anniversary of a beloved pet of mine, my first dog, Mollie. She grew very unwell when she was 14 and died last christmas in my arms.

I miss her so much. Ive not really had a great deal of time to process my feelings because this last 12 months has been utterly hectic from university... Read more ..read more

Why can't we just ignore it? Stick it away with the rest of the unresolved trauma. Why start facing the trauma now? Maybe things are just best left buried in the back of our brains. Do we not all hold on in some way? Some let go of more than others but what's wrong with just not thinking about it? Anytime it pops in my head then I'll just take myself off to somewhere else in my head. If that's how I've probably dealt with everything and yes it does spill out occasionally but as long as it...

I had a pretty traumatic upbringing which has led to depression and anxiety by the age of 11. By 27, I became pregnant with my first child and had a healthy baby boy. Now 7 years later, my husband and I try for our second child and I end up losing my pregnancy at 15 weeks. I am crying every single day since then and I am having a hard time coping with this loss. It's bad enough I had suffered from depression before this. Now that this happened, my depression has gotten worse. I feel like I... Read more ..read more
