732810 tn?1232129554 Hi, I am having a very difficult time dealing with family without having modd swings. I am trying to go to meetings, but my schedule and family situations are keeping me from doing so. Funny, I could have gone to bars and just neglected family in the past, but now, I am dealing with family situations and trying to be present. However, my children and my husband are DRIVING ME CRAZY. I keep serenity prayering and it helps for a little bit.
Avatar f tn I do understand your feelings I had one at 15 and 17 weeks. I have 2 healthy children and one on the way. They went in and cleaned me out while I was out. I preferred not to be awake. I want you to know as hard as it is please remember we all have our own journey. For some reason this happened to u and its definatly hard sometimes why things happen but please stayas positive as you can. This will be a emotion journey for you but All of us are here for you!!
1200450 tn?1317496867 Many times kids associate sickness with death and it is very scary for them. Make sure you call him daily while he is gone. That will ease his mind also knowing that you are there and okay so to speak. At his age it is really hard to tell him exactly what is going on. Just reassure him that he will be coming back and you ARE going to be okay. Are you going to be adding any recovery care to the mix here?
Avatar f tn It took my husband and I two years to finally get pregnant with him and only 7 short weeks to loose him. He past away on July 23rd, due to a rare heart condition called HLHS. He was my first and he will always be my first. Now he is my Guaridan Angel and he makes sure I know that he is still looking after me everyday!!! I am now at peace, yes I still get upset but I am no longer grieving. My counselor pointed this out to me this past Friday.

Avatar f tn This excessive worry stems from what happened to your brother, and therapy will help you to overcome this worry, and cope with your loss. I do wish you all the best, and take care.
2056612 tn?1330697184 The original autopsy showed no cause of death, but suddenly, 9 months later and after further testing of heart tissue sample and blood samples, the medical examiner has come back with the cause of death being Cardiomyopathy and Mitral Valve prolapse. Why would this have not been found in the original autopsy? Also...after her death, her husband admitted to giving her Cialis because he said he had heard it worked better in woman than in men for boosting a low sex drive.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if there is anyone out there dealing with children concerning bipolar. I have 7 year old grandson that is om foclin but has stomach problems and recently the diagnosis is leaning more toward bipolar and has been put on a mood stabilizer tryleptal 300mg half in the morning and a whole pill at night. Anyone with any information please share with a concerned grandmother.
640548 tn?1340553355 t know if your family is Christian, but if yes, talk with your pastor and possibly have him come and speak with her. He will uplift her sorrowful spirit and give her hope for the future. Give your parents time. The loss of their child (regardless of age) is very traumatic, because a parent shouldn't have to bury their child. They will talk when they are ready and that's ok too.
Avatar m tn Hi, All. I am new to this forum and finding it very helpful and informative. I have already been the beneficiary of some great advice from Vance and Teak. A question for the group... How do you deal with all the differing views on risk behavior? For example, this forum has a pretty firm stance about the low/no risk nature of oral sex for hiv transmission. Yet even my own cities Met Health Clinic (SA, TX) councils that getting a blow job is high risk due to potential lesions, etc.
Avatar f tn I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.
8924846 tn?1410572901 I have a mini dachshund and he can get pretty hyper at times. But then again I have two sisters and my boyfriend and they'll play with him.
Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.
Avatar n tn He is developing an extreme aversion to anything outside of his comfort zone and refuses to deal with new challenges/opportunities. His fear is paralyzing is development. What should I do?
Avatar f tn As the mother of three children I cannot begin to imagine the heartache and loss. I know that with the loss of other family members, it changes you somewhat. I think that when you lose someone that you loved with all your heart there is a part of you that goes with them and never returns. You learn to go forward as a different you. To have that be compounded by the loss being a child is simpy unfathomable to me. So very very sorry!
Avatar m tn I know my dad was self destructive and died at a very young age and I was very angry with him for a while for leaving my mom in dire striaghts and for not taking better care of himslef so he could be with us longer. I went to alot of therapy to work through this and I am ok and I miss my dad alot.
Avatar n tn I had been suffering for years with painful periods, cysts that came and went and multiple fibroids. I was not able to have children probably from having severe endo thoroughout my abd/pelvic cavity. My doc said the only way to actually get rid of the endo was to remove both my ovaries. I had complex masses on both which he figured had destroyed alot of my ovarian function anyways and there was questions as to what these masses actually were.
Avatar f tn So my husband and I had been trying for a baby for over 2 years when we finally got pregnant. Of course we are ecstatic. I'm 10 weeks 2 days and everything I'd going smoothly with baby. I'm white. Like Casper the friendly ghost white haha. My family is all german. My husband is African American and native American. He has a very ethnic look. After we announced our pregnancy most people were excited too!
Avatar f tn I wait until he falls asleep before I leave his room, I have a night light on, and then he wakes up in the middle of the night and crawls in with his older sister. He says that his youngest sister is closer to me, and that if he had her room it would sleep all night by himself. That is not the answer. There is something else there, and I can't figure it out.
761787 tn?1234305359 im 19 wks pregnant and i have a fetus with a diagnosis of CPC im scared to death because i have to wait 3 wks to go to a specialist...anyone have any hopes or ideas??
Avatar n tn My husband was not with us. With me were my two children. One was almost three and the other was one and a half. When my husband finally joined us they were both surprised, although the elder seemed annoyed. When dealing with children we have to creep into their lives to understand them. They do not see things as we do.
Avatar f tn I have a friend who lost his wife a few months ago to cancer and is having a very hard time dealing with it. Yesterday I received another email from him (I live 300 miles away) and following is an excerpt of that email; " I"m not doing very well with this situation here. I don't know how people survive the sadness, loneliness, pain & guilt. My daughter said, why do you feel guilty, dad? I told her it's because she's dead,and I'm not.
