Why wear a ribbon?

 
"To remind myself that no matter how stable I am, I should be conscious of my BP ..." (mutatyr)

MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

I was recently denied for a additional 50,000 life insurance. I was approved right after diagnosis 17yrs ago for 100,000 but had not had any hospitalizations under my belt. I experience severe deppression with suicidal ideation about every seven yrs. My episodes last for up to 2 1/2 yrs with 3-4yrs of relative stability in between.

I will try again next yr as always.
