Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

Justafraid's diary - justaftraid's diary
View Profile My name is Wendy (Wen for short) and I have a lot of shortcomings. I suffer from many physical and mental illnesses and quite frankly I am tired of them. I suffer from Agoraphobia, anxiety/panic attacks, IBS, Fibromyalgia, Acid Reflux/GERD, Barret's Esophagus, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder 1, Depression, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Narcolepsy, Restless Leg Syndrome, and Sleep Apnea. This is a lot to deal with and it gets so tiring because there always seems to be something wrong - I never get a break, never get a day of being pain free which is what I want most.



Proactive
Nov 10 2008

I actually was proactive this weekend and gave my husband the key to the main med box we have (we have LOTS of meds - 9 for me and a couple for each of the kids).  It took a lot for me to giveup that control, but I knew I needed to do it.  The temptation of me being able to get to them so easily was just too much for me to take.  So I gave him the key so I won't do anything stupid.  I've thought a lot about just taking them all and never waking up again, but that would just be selfish on my part. I just have to keep hanging on until the damn Abilify gets here and wait for it to get to it's full effect once I start taking it.  I just feel so empty inside, like there's just nothing left to give to anyone.  My husband is understanding and I'm so grateful I have him - he makes sure to tell every night, as he's leaving for work, that he loves me.  I just don't know what do to with these feelings any more.
