MDJunction to me

jaguar62"Here's a success story for you ,, there was this poor guy who all he ever did was work his butt off day in and day out, and would settle for no less than perfection which caused him to somewhat be an outcast among his peers.

But then people around him started to notice that failure wasn't an option and this guy could really get things moving in the direction they were supposed to go so when they had an issue they would hesitantly ask for assistance at first.

But as time went on more and more people started getting referred to him. Before you knew it he was recognized and he had a top executive job,Escalation Supervisor of the whole Eastern Coast of United States for a communications company was staying busy like he loved to do and helping people along the way and life was excellent, good salary and benefits ,loved going to work "everyday".

Then one day (it was a period of time ) it was over ...seemed like it disappeared in an instance (after being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease at the age of 49) and it stayed that way forever it seemed and life was slowly deteriorating around him ..depressed , no motivation, no job, health issues getting progressively worse much faster than just Parkinson and then being told it has possibilities of being MSA (Multiple Systems Atrophy) well seeing as i wasn't working i started checking out sites online and just so happened on MDJunction and the Parkinsons Support Group and absolutely loved the forums and feed back from the GLs and found out it wasn't just poor me at all, it was lots of wonderful people who shared the same symptoms that i was and still am going thru every day but in a whole lot better more positive frame of mind . So after about a year of posting and reading the forums daily and meeting so many good people I knew i wanted to give back some of this well needed love that i had received , So I applied for a Group Leader Position and ...

I had a "new job" and its helping people as well as getting the necessary help I now require and I can do it 24 hrs a day if i want to ..HOW GOOD IS THAT .

THATS MY SUCCESS STORY/Testomonial
OH Yeah!I almost forgot the best part is the wonderful fellowship around the workplace,,

MDjunction has opened my eyes and offered me a new beginning to what was looking like a very dark end. thanks MDJ (and yes i do know where I would be without you.)

hi, i have depression ocd add and anxiety. my sister has very severe ocd and anxiety and my youngest sister has odd. our family is fucked up in my eyes and seems to be barely getting by. not money wise because that seems to be the only thing going well for us. my sister the one with the severe anxiety has gotten out of bed only 3/16 for the past couple of weeks. she hasn't been able to go to school and if she does go she comes home and cries and listens to this relaxing tape in her room for over 120 times. it upsets and stresses out everyone. i love her to death but its making me more anxious to relapse on cutting which i used to do for over 4 years but haven't in 5 months. and it's also making me more anxious to get drugs. i dont know what to do can someone please help me

SO IT DOESN'T HELP HAVING SOME-ONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS??? MAYBE YOU & YOUR SISTER SHOULD SIT DOWN & TALK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS IT MAY HELP BOTH OF YOU. BEST OF LUCK & HANG IN THERE.....JUST THINK IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER.....XXXXXX Smile
I am not a medical doctor.....My opinion is purely that....I try & give the best advice to help others from my own experiences.......

" We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same."

I don’t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past,stop planning the future,stop figuring out how we feel,stop deciding what we want,and just see what happens.

Forget the past, it has already happened, worry not about the future, it has yet to come. Concentrate on today, and make every moment count.

What is your sister worrying about that makes her so anxious? Is there something going on at school that gives her anxiety or does she have some sort of fear? I have been having a lot of anxiety over certain issues over the past couple of months. I have been trying to do breathing excerises along with a muscle relaxation technique. Talking with a therapists helps too. Having someone there to comfort you instead of barking questions and be unecouraging like my sister does lol helps a lot.

i just dont know how to ask my parents for therapy because i only went to therapy when they found out i had been cutting two years ago and than they switched me to a psychiatrist who i feel that i can't really talk to. and she does not like leaving home or being away from my mom that's what gets her so nervous and upset. and her and i aren't close enough for me to tell her my problems but i always help her in anyway i can because i love her. otherwise she really has nothing to be fearful of. thank you guys!

maybe you could tell them that she could benefit a lot from talking to a professional. I started seeing a therapist a couple months ago. Its weird knowing that I'm the only person I know that is seeing one out of my little circle of family and friends lol. But I feel better talking to someone who understands me and gives me good advice to keep me going. One of the ways he has helped me is explaining to me that I need to find a hobby or something to focus on. Its been hard finding one but it encourages me to find something to improve myself and my life.

my mother was on like 12 meds at one point and acted overmedicated and had health complications

i think to many meds can be worse then no meds

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
