  • I'm tongue tied (literally) lol Tracy
  • 'Bieber-ville'....oops, I mean Stratford Lol. Welcome to MFP! Tracy
  • I'm in Ontario, but I feel your pain! I HATE the winter!! It's been grey here for nearly a week, and the early evenings just stink! This time of year is horrible for triggering bouts,...or just wearing me out before the day even starts! (wake up exhausted) Tracy
  • Yes, I do get that way. I actually suffer from major depression/anxiety (since I was a teen), and I take Paxil for it daily. Unfortunately with life getting busier and more chaotic lately, the Paxil hasn't been working as effectively as it once did. It keeps me from crying uncontrollably, and keeps the mood swings in…
  • Wow, you are truly an inspiration! I am so very sorry about your situation. Not quite the same circumstances of course, but what you describe (how you felt about her, attitude about the relationship, and being single with the kids) honestly brought a tear to my eye as that's pretty close to how I felt about my ex. I will…
  • test lol...I will post a pic. I think I can, I think I can.....:wink:
  • Off of my head, these are a few. I have many though. :happy: "'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength And just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up And not…
  • ^^ yes! I agree! I'm considering using a quote from one of his songs as a tattoo! The man is inspiring and I credit his music for me getting through my break up better (mentally stronger/determined)
  • ^^ this The pain mine caused (the gall bladder, not the surgery), was unbearable. It was inflamed and it's removal nearly became an emergency surgery. I had mine removed last March, and the only thing that ticks me off about it is I still do get 'attacks'. Same pain, but not as strong, nor as long lasting (tg). It bugs me…
  • Wow, very nicely put! Although I'm not pushing for an instant marriage/move in relationship, I'm certainly not willing to settle for a casual (sex only) relationship. Not because of my kids, but because I DESERVE better then that. I believe in being with one at a time (all I can handle! lol) If it doesn't work out,...try…
  • I'm sorry about your situation, and I empathize. My ex did the same thing to me (more then once), and here I am now with the 4. They have not seen him in nearly 2 years now. I don't get how a parent can abandon their child (men or women). Anyways, thank you for the encouragement, and congrats on your bravery to date again.…
  • Thank you so much Stephanie! I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm also very proud of you for coming through so strongly & grounded. I agree, being able to make yourself clear about not wanting to rush, and that you don't want to 'replace' a parental figure is important, and I guess that's where I have to maybe change my…
  • Oh wow, I'm sorry things are so crazy for you right now! IMO (just my opinion from one sufferer of depression to another :flowerforyou: ), maybe the best thing for you to do right now, is to talk to hubby about your concerns, and both of you could talk to a counsellor/join a parents group, etc to maybe tackle those issues…
  • You are totally rawking that dress!!!!! Oh I can't wait.....that look on your face is what it's all about! Congrats on your accomplishment hun,.......you are a true inspiration! Thanks so much for posting! Tracy
  • tyvmm......but I do change the caps :huh: .....hmm. Guess I just found them on an overly protective site or something! lol thanks again for the reply! :happy:
  • I have 4 beautiful children whom I adore! Boy - turns 16 this Fri Girl - turned 11 on the 3rd Girl - will be 9 in March Girl - turned 2 in Sept ....the tubes are now tied.....alas no more! lol :laugh: Tracy ^^^ there they are :tongue: :smile:
  • The number one culprit for me is depression. I suffer from major depression, and when the bouts are bad, so is the desire to eat. Grocery shopping or checking out the latest recipes in a magazine just prior to meals doesn't promote an 'undesire' to eat either...:wink: Tracy
  • Hi Tonya, thanks for the add! I'm sorry you're going through this. I get what you're saying, especially about the meds. I take Paxil daily for mine, and it keeps me functioning, but that's it. It allows me to get through the day without breaking down crying, sleeping, or being a mega-b****. It's doing nothing to clear my…
  • grr...ok n/m how are some of you posting pics? I keep getting an error msg from photo bucket
  • SW Ontario Canada (a cpl hours west of Toronto) Tracy
  • :blushing: Um ...... HUGH LAURIE!!!!!!!! :tongue: hmm...can't post pics. Oh well
  • I'm sorry things did not work out for you. Thirteen years is a big investment. All I can say is it does get better (well, more manageable at least) in time. The good days will start to out number the s*** ones. I completely agree about the kids being 'left out'. Imo kids that are put in the situation of having to call…
  • awesome! Have a good one! :smile:
  • Hi Steven, I'm really sorry you're feeling like this. I completely empathize. Exercising is good, you're right. Are there alternatives you could find close by or at home? We have a couple of indoor pools in town that offer aqua fit classes. They are good workouts, but relaxing too. Do you have a game console at home? Game…
  • Easier said then done, but try not to. It's usually able to be done with a laprascope(sp?) (opposed to larger incision), and is a day surgery. I went in first thing and was home by 2pm. Recovery wasn't too horrible. You have to make sure you don't lift or exert yourself for a few weeks, watch your diet, and keep the…
  • HUGH LAURIE!!! :love: Lol Tracy
  • Yes! We are a 'Wii' family! lol We all enjoy it so much, that our library has grown from JD2, to JD3, JD Summer, and ABBA experience. I still want to get the Black Eyed Peas one too! lol It really is a great way to exercise....it's so fun! It's convenient too cause we're indoors from the snow n' cold, plus it's family…
  • I'm not sure what is going on with MFP, but I never saw this post before (or several others that seemed to have 'popped' up). It's nice to meet all of you and I thank you all very much for sharing your stories here. I find it comforting to know that I'm not alone. I'm not trying to use my mental and/or physical issues as…
  • Wow, you're amazing! It's so hard to keep strong and spirits up when you're in pain. You're absolutely right with your last point. Things are difficult, but not impossible for me, and I am thankful everyday for the fact that I had a good surgeon/care. Fortunately my arm/back woes just challenge me, but not hinder. My…
  • Oh no! Is this the last season?! :noway: I wasn't sure if they'd decided yet or not! Like I said, I was really hoping for 10. I love the new 'ducklings, and I think they had potential despite Cuddy leaving. Love the names of the guinea pigs! haha! I was very close to naming my chinchilla Mr Burmie (not from House, from…
