awww hi mb...im very glad too...i was a lil scared again until i got the results back..

yeah my leg is doing well...from the surgery, my area around the knee is numb..but its better then cancer, so i cant complain..

how are you doing??

RE: "Nervous Breakdown."

haha..well thats a good way of looking at it..

RE: "Nervous Breakdown."

It's nice to see you again too..

From my understanding of the term and its usuage...a nervous breakdown, is more or less the nerves in the brain tend to short out or breakdown and dont connect in the same form as they normally would. If not the nerves more of the chemistry of the brain changes or alters. The term nervous breakdown is generally recongized as a mental breakdown moreso these days then in the past. I think the doctors tend to break it down more today into specific areas rather then lumping it altogether and giving it the name nervous breakdown...

My therapist told me in my case...I was like a stuffed animal, I kept putting more stuffing inside and eventually I couldnt handle anymore and it started to tear and the stuffing came out...LOL
The process of putting the correct "stuffing" and the right amount back in was the key...

RE: "Nervous Breakdown."

I'm actually not sure of the exact wording that was put in my file...so I cant say it was labeled a "nervous breakdown"...I was never hospitalized for it, and I dont know the exact criteria for a nervous breakdown, nor do I care...

RE: What really is a disability?

Im sure medicare does have it regulations and have the federal programs to insure the coverage. However, if the person is not covered with medicare and is only being covered by their private health insurance, the cost and coverage can change. So, am not sure all of the info has been shared..and there was no reason that it had to be, so one should not assume where the truth is or is not.

RE: "Nervous Breakdown."

yeah, I did...and received professional treatment for some time for it...


It's a process to get back the "control" you once had in your life, and valuable lessons are learned and alot of self awareness is found...

RE: What really is a disability?

ahmmmm...not sure she should be judged in that way...she was honest and explained her situation, which was rather upfront and brave of her...I'm fairly certain she has the right to complain about the system as everyone else does...saying you've been through her situation to a certain degree, I would of thought you would of been more compassionate then sarcastic..JMO

RE: Or maybe I am wrong and they are up there looking down on us?

thanks so much ladies...it means alot...i havent talked much of it and Im glad for your thoughts and words..

RE: Or maybe I am wrong and they are up there looking down on us?

At least it seems today...that the good days are coming and staying longer then the bad ones..I can only hope and pray for the best and to continue to provide them with the best love and guidance that I have....



hugs to you too...MB

RE: Or maybe I am wrong and they are up there looking down on us?

We are also going through a situation like this; their dad passed away about 3 weeks ago. My youngest is 10 yr. old and the boys are older. I cant imagine trying to explain to a child younger then my daughter...that was hard enough, and she understood for the most part.

As, I do believe in God and "heaven"...it wasnt hard for me to explain that aspect of death and where their dad....and he will always be in her (their) heart. The issue of him being gone forever and not just a week or a month..that is so final, is hard.

I have always loved the quote, that goes something like this...

I would rather live my life as if there were a God and find out there wasnt...then to live my life as if there wasnt a God and find out there was...

My best thoughts to you...

RE: East Coast Snow Storm

Wow East Coast...sorry about all the snow and winds...

It's nice in Iowa today, not a snow flake in sight...and I can even see sun...

Stay safe, warm and, dry...

RE: would you do it for your kids sake??

No...when he was alive, there were times that he did promise me much more then the moon and couldnt deliver. He "changed" for only for a short time, but then he went back to the norm...we were just better apart then together...It didnt mean I didnt love him, as to why I left the final time..I just loved myself and children more and knew we deserved better life.

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

well for me it sorta is...

my basis for my thoughts and actions are directly related to my religious beliefs on many different issues...its how you look at it...sometimes I cant seperate them..

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

well now its gonna seem like im picking you on and im not..lol

but..kinda, sorta I would think your religious beliefs would have a bearing on ones morals, compassion, and forgiveness...

I for one, do believe Christ died on the cross for my sins and he forgives me upon my asking. So I try to live a high and morally good life...in doing so I try to treat others as I want to be treated...and to know that is what is expected of me...to live a life that Jesus Christ would be honored with. I also believe there is some type of questioning of my actions, words,and behaviors during my life on earth when I go to meet my Lord...knowing that...I dont want to mess up anymore then I usually do so i dont have to answer to why I did what I did and not have a good answer...so if i think I can go and wish punishment of this magnitude on another person or that I could do to someone these things, or think it is right to take a life or punish someone...and try and justify that...theres no way...

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

oh yeah of course there is a big difference...i was going with the intentional actions, as this man did the acid with malice.

well...I would like to believe you of not being a hypocrit if it were to be your child...but its hard for me to believe any parent would not be BEGGING to spare their child's life or punishment if it was as severe as what we are talking about. For the life of me, I cant see any mother or father...accepting the fate of their child without a fight...all is good regardless...and I dont mean to imply your lying in any way... just not sure how to word it in another way.

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

all is good...except what if we as parents cant control everything our children do and dont do as they grow or are in adulthood. what if yours or my children were to do something unthinkable to another person and hurt someone or take a life while driving..or drunk driving and they kill someone for whatever reason...do the victims family/parents have the right to request the death of our children? or does this eye for an eye have restrictions or limitations...Cuz this is all good lets kill the ppl who killed my child, but does my child pay the same price if he/she commits the crime...granted im sure my kids wont throw acid in someone's face, but there are things that im not in control of and things happen unexpected...im just not so sure those who are willing to cast the stones...want an eye for an eye..if it involves your childrens eyes.. however, i could be wrong.

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

thank you..but I tend to spend enough time thinking...yes he deserves punishment, yes he may deserve the exact same thing done to himself as he did to her...but the fact of "An eye for an eye" is a much deeper concept then what lays on the surface.

and yeah...If someone killed my child, would I want them to die...am sure I would, but for me to kill another person...is not something I am capable of doing...maybe its cuz I have more then one child and being in prison would leave them alone...or maybe cuz then I am no better then the person who killed my child...then again...one never really knows until they are in that position.

so you know...its ok that I disagree with you...

RE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

An eye for an eye....makes the whole world blind..

RE: I NEED PUPPY TRAINING ADVICE!!!!

RE: newbie

Hello and welcome..

RE: (Ladies only) Would you do me? Lol

No...not even on a bad day

RE: need advice on helping kids deal with death

Hi southernangel...My children lost their dad about 2 weeks ago...very unexpected and sudden. My kids are 10, 17, and 18 years old..they each have dealt with it differently..not sure any one way is right or wrong.
We have had many sleepless nights and many long conversations..and other times we just cry. Keep your ears open to their pain and thoughts, and your eyes open just so you dont miss something...
It's a very hard situation to be in and I never thought I would have to deal with...at least not at this age.
My heart goes out to you and your children...Im sending my prayers and best thoughts and hopefully soon you can find some comfort and peace.
