write a sharepost regarding my chronic pain and I thought it was a great idea, so here I am.  On Monday, I was diagnosed with chronic pain and my doctor thinks it may be fibromayalgia.  She didn't want to make that formal diagnosis because she feels a rhumetologist would be better for that job.  For a few years, I have been dealing with unexplained pain.  My body hurt, but most of the...

different name.  Some of you that have been on here for a while may have seen me under the name stewie.  I was doing rather well for a few months, but then came the holidays.  It was my first Christmas in 32 years without getting to see my younger brother, he lives in tennessee with his wife and kids.  After that, things just seemed to go wrong one right after the other.  Because of that,... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/131643/back http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/111815/bravery-cancer Sun, 16 May 2010 23:38:02 -0400 Shayluna Today my mom told me that my grandma has breast cancer.  It is horrible to hear for anyone, but this is the fourth time my grandma has been through this.  She will be going in for surgery toward the end of the month.  My grandma has survived this three times and is confident she will survive again.  In spite of this terrible disease, I admire the bravery of my mom and grandma.  My grandma didn't give up...

like I'm headed for a major change.  Things have not been going real well between my mom and stepdad for about a year.  Both of them have made comments to me that got me wondering if they are going to stay together.  Today, I finally asked my stepdad if they were going to split up.  I knew he would give me a straight answer.  He told me that it was going to happen, he just didn't know how or...

wrote here so I figured it was time for an update.  Despite my earlier feelings, life has gotten better since my ex left me.  When the door closed on that part of my life, so many windows opened.  I have gotten my house better organized, my finances are better controlled, I've been spending more time with my family, made new friends and reconnected with old ones.  I have even gone out on a...

have been thinking a lot about the irony and complexities of love.  Love is a very powerful emotion that can build a person up, but can also completely destroy them.  It can make the most intelligent, rational person turn into a blundering, irrational being.  How do you know if your feelings for another are truly love?  Why do people stay in an unhealthy relationship simply because of...

haven't posted in a couple of weeks so here's an update.  Things have been slowly getting better in the last two weeks.  I have been getting things done around the house to get it cleaner and better organized.  I've also been doing a lot of thinking about how I got myself into some bad relationships.  I've come to three reasons for my poor choice in relationships: depression, low self-esteem, and too much... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/101031/getting-better http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/100259/lonliness Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:16:49 -0500 Shayluna I'm having some trouble dealing with the lonliness since my fiance left me.  We were together for a little over a year, and the sudden break-up has me really evaluating things.  I'm noticing a lot of the negativity has left my life.  I'm also not worried about making a mistake because I know it's ok...everyone makes mistakes.  I don't feel like I'm living under a magnifying glass.  Luckily, the break-up didn't affect my... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/100259/lonliness http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/99739/heartbroken Sat, 02 Jan 2010 19:39:52 -0500 Shayluna I've had a real bad day.  My fiance came into town unexpectedly, and I had plans that I kept.  We have been having a lot of problems lately, and I have been standing my ground more and not allowing myself to be manipulated.  Today I went to have lunch with my dad, do laundry, and run a few errands.  When I got home, all of his stuff and my engagement ring were gone.  He left me and never gave me the courtesy of saying... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/99739/heartbroken http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26837/98729/good-day Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:22:58 -0500 Shayluna Hi all, I've had a pretty good day.  I started out with a fairly big list of things I needed to get done, and I accomplished most of it.  I tend to get behind with my laundry because I have to haul it to the laundromat, I hate not having a washer and dryer.   I got all of my laundry (including bedding) done and put away.  I also got myself to Wal-Mart to finish my Christmas shopping and get some...
