Story of when I went to a residential program in Florida

So like I remember this one girl that was working at the center I was in who was really friendly. She told me to make a wish and it will come true. I think it might actually be coming true but to be honest I should have made a better wish because my life right now is like I am barely living. It would mean the absolute world to me if I got more wishes that can be granted so I can live a more happy fulfilling life. I have always been a spiritual person and I really need so many more wishes to come true. I hope I do get more wishes from someone that will be granted. I am not telling ya’ll what I wished for haha #CheckInWithMe #Disability #MentalHealth #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Mania #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #Bipolar2 #BipolarDepression #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #Selfharm #PostpartumDisorders #SuicidalIdeation #SuicidalThoughts #Suicide #ChronicIllness #ADHD #Addiction #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AnorexiaNervosa #BingeEatingDisorder #AspergersSyndrome #AnkylosingSpondylitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Arthritis #Cancer #BreastCancer #Caregiving #CerebralPalsy #CrohnsDisease #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Endometriosis #Epilepsy #Dysautonomia #Grief #Stroke #WarmWishes #MightyTogether #ChronicInflammatoryDemyelinatingPolyneuropathy #Fibromyalgia #Gastroparesis #Loneliness #CongenitalHeartDefectDisease #ChiariMalformation #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder

CANCER STINKS

Diagnosed with breast cancer 21 years ago. Next breath told I had to lose my R breast. Cancer care was primarily male Drs. I took offense to that. Very demeaning appointments. Hated men touching my body so intimately. Each appointment I would FREEZE myself mentally and physically to finish my appointment.

PINK is my color since having breast cancer 21 years ago. I rarely see PINK representation. Magenta hair alters my mood greatly..

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is MyDruthers. I'm here because my wonderful therapist said it’s time to “widen my circle” in order to get the support I need right now; even twice-weekly therapy isn’t doing it, I’m reluctant to overburden my friendships, and I feel indescribably alone.

I’m dealing with so, so much, and although I’ve survived really tough stuff in my life — most recently, caring for my mom with Dementia for 8 years, surviving the breast cancer I was diagnosed with when she died 5 years ago, raising my daughter (now 15) in the midst of an abusive marriage (20 years long), leaving my psychopathic/narc ex — the current custody battle (2 years long so far, the second one in 5 years) has me nearly bottoming out in despair every week or so. I will eventually resume EMDR, since that was derailed when the current crisis hit.

My ex is also a therapist/psychologist, currently practicing , and licensed in 4 states — he is a demon, especially in the courtroom, and although I managed to get 100% custody of my child the first go-round, I’m in a different (more conservative) state now and the philosophy here is that it’s always better for kids to have relationships with both mom and dad, even when there’s been family violence, even when there’s been SA.

Current challenges: I’ve had to switch attorneys, these master manipulators continue their abuse by using the court system, and the family law system seems blind to it. Just yesterday, I received a form letter from CPS telling me they’ve closed the investigation into him, which means my child has once again been let down by someone that was supposed to watch out for her.

I’m tired of weighing my friendships down with my deep and ongoing need for support and understanding, so I’m turning to this community, which I’ve heard such great things about. I don’t know my way around, but if anything I’ve said resonates with you, please reach out. Maybe we can lift each other up. Thanks for reading. 💕

Chemo and nerve pain

At 62 I was diagnosed with breast cancer HER+ ER+. Had a mastectomy, went through chemo and have been taking Arimidex for 8 years. This August shortly after my 70th birthday, I was diagnosed with TNBC, triple negative breast cancer. Had another mastectomy and started chemo of Taxol, Carboplatin and Keytruda this past Friday. By Monday I felt like I had been beaten with a baseball bat. It was like 10x the worst fibromyalgia episode ever. Still some soreness a few days later. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this. I'm told fighting two different kinds of breast cancer is "unique " and I know they're throwing the book at me, but I'm going to need something stronger than Lyrica to deal with this. #Cancer #Neuropathy #Fibromyalgia
