MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

I am a single mom who is divorcing...I have three adopted children (6, 5 & 4). Most days are wonderful, but others are overwhelming and stressful. I am in nursing school fulltime (one more semester!) and am finding it harder to divide my time so I am not ignoring the kids, yet still passing my classes. In other news, I have begun dating with mixed results...for the most part, men are thrown off by the 3 kids thing, so that has been hurtful to my ego! Unsure Hoping that I can find someone that appreciates me and the 'baggage' that comes along with me! Wink

Looking forward to chatting with other single parents for advice and support!

Sounds like you are doing pretty good! You must be non stop, going to school, 3 kids and dating. Good for you!! I'm sure you'll be fine. If some men don't like the idea of you having kids, oh well. You'll find one great one that will be thrilled to step in and adore your children along with you!
