MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

ScoobysTales

When I was not medicated properly and adding to that self-medicating with alcohol (and perhaps too much of prescription drugs as well). I isolated and was anything but easy to be around. And "one is the loneliest number you'll ever do."

I'm opening up in A.A. and N.A. meetings when I can make them, and I see where it does nobody any good to not engage and share with others, and particularily with those who have "been there, done that" with regard to addiction issues.


Bereavement 101-A

Feb 18 2012

Nobody understands the experience of bereavement like someone who has been there.  TV stuff helps, but I am sure those who knew Whitney Houston closely (and she seemed like such an open-heartedsoul, both in muic and in person)...my watching the special last night just brought some tears, yes, but also such wonderment at what she gave to our world while she was here.

For those of us who take benzodiazepenes (Ativan, Klonopin, and the one that may have contributed to Whitney's untimely exit, Xanax, I do now think and consider carefully before I plop that little tranquilizer under my tongue so I can absorb it quickly ("sub-lingual ingestion").

What's that song, "...and the "mother's little helper" by some group...and it included the line inferring that they didn't do much toward bringing real shelter from the realities of living with tension in our lives.

Oh, fudge...I think I'll go get some exercise instead, and there is even a yoga place here on the block and...would you believe it, a "Pilates Studio."

Disgusting place, this Salinas, Aquamarine Massage across the street, foot massage places all over. It's disgusting.
