I have learned that I cannot do this by myself and that I have to have support.

I agree.....take a pregnancy test and then go from there.

I wanted to tell all of you that I truly appreciate all of your comfort and support. It has really helped. I haven't replied for a couple of days because my mom had one of her episodes and hit my husband in the face because he told her not to act like that in front of our 2 year old daughter ( she was screaming at me…

I feel like you are talking about my mother! I really think I need counseling because I have beat myself up so many times wondering why she can't love me like other moms. I have noticed that I correct any or all behaviors that come close to reminding me of my mother. What's sad is that I have amazing siblings and a great…

I was being a little generous about my description of her. I am also curious if any of you have seen a change in your loved one or have you just changed yourself to cope?

Thanks. It's comforting to know there are other people who are struggling with the same thing.

You are absolutely right. I really need to learn how to deal with her illness. She's a difficult one though. Her anger and hatred makes it hard to love her. When I was a teenager, I used to tell my friends she was satan. I feel bad about that now, but at the time she was very verbally abusive (actually, she is much worse…

The Simpsons season 5.

Pet Sematary. I just couldn't sleep for days after seeing that in middle school. There's something about a dead guy lurking at any moment, a creepy killer child and a old mental neighbor from the Munsters. Gotta love horror movies! Killer Clowns From Outer space is a close second. ;-)

Amazing! What an inspiration.

I think it's absolutely horrible. But, I am guilty of drinking a few a week. I would like to give it up altogether.

I feel like this is a month of ups and downs. I have to work more on being consistent with my diet and exercise.

I am a mom of 3, Elliott 7, Oliver 6 and Adeline 2. I have 70 lbs to lose. It is nice to join a group of supportive moms.

Looking great! Congratulations!

Hi my name is Renee. My super power is that I have exact facial recognition. I can remember any face at any time. I seem to have a catalog in my brain and I sort of flip through it at an extremely fast speed and can recognize anyone within minutes even seconds. Pretty handy at times!

Great job! What an accomplishment. Keep up the good work!

I'm in! This is a great challenge!

Amazing! Great job!

I will try my best!

That is really sweet. I have a husband like that and consider myself really lucky. Thanks for sharing.

I take Flinstones vitamins with my kids every day and am proud of it!

WTG! Congratulations!

Pizza. I can usually control my portions with everything but pizza! It gets me every time!

You look amazing! What an accomplishment. You should be very proud.

Thanks everyone for your advice. It helps a lot to know I'm not alone. I don't tolerate a lot of medications very well and I think as long as the symptoms aren't as severe, I am gonna wait a week or so to see if they subside. Otherwise, if they don't I have 3 kids that depend on me to be alert and able to take care of…

I definitely agree that my mental health is really important. I just want t feel normal again without the panic attacks. I feel like an alien right now. I hope in a week or so, the side effects will go away and I will start feeling better.

No. I haven't told my doc about the numbness yet. It comes and goes and isn't too severe. Next appt. I will let him know as long as it doesn't affect my motor skills.

Exactly. Welcome and good luck!

I would like to say yes, but nope! Does personality count? ;-)

Every tragedy in my life has happened on a family members birthday or a holiday.
