MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

I belong to another forum that is for military wives. Well I just asked a simple question about being on state assistance and most everyone was very understanding and said that is what it's there for. But there was one lady who just totally ripped into me. I felt like such a horrible person.

I feel bad enough that I can't do what I used to and I can't help my husband more then I am. But it really irks me to no end how people think they are above things happening in their lives where it knocks them for a loop. My husband and I never expected the stuff that has happened in our life but it has and we are doing the best we can. I was just totally floored and feel like a horrible person now.

Oh Honey i'm so sorry that you had such a horrible experience. No boby knows your life or your situation and they have no right to treat you that way. we all do what we have to to get to the next day. Your family is in desperate need right now THAT IS what assistance is for.

hi sweetheart, I'm sorry that somebody was so mean to you. That makes me so mad! you are not a bad person and assistance is offered to people who are in situations like yours. Dont ever feel ashamed or bad because you are humble enough to accept help! You are a doll! (and that other lady obviously has a stick in an uncomfortable place! ) I love ya and am praying for you and your family!

hugs and kisses, soopergirl

a day without laughter is a day wasted.
