Women's Forum The name I chose is Annie's Place

I'll start you all need to go and make a lovely cup of tea and come back and let the talking begin. Take care

Good day ladies,
I want to begin by wishing everyone who's a mom a wonderful Mother's Day! The idea of offering women a place to express themselves is great.
As I browse through different discussions I see that we have a lot in common. Health issues brought us together but there is so much more that we as women can ad. In addition to be supportive of each other we can also brainstorm and learn about different conditions.
I read about living with physical pain a lot and I don't know what that's like. Both of my parents have diabetes and arthritis. My mom now has heart disease and will have surgery on June 4th and my dad also suffers from gout and depression. I have an uncle who's comical and he says "Some people inherit money, estates but we inherited a bundle of nerves"!.
We cannot help genetics but we can still do plenty to have meaningful lives. I look forward to learning from all of you....

Hi rox thanks for starting off on Annie's Place. I can so relate to the things that you have stated. I am genetically a carbon copy of my dad. He had the problems with the clotting and anixety and depression. I think that the comment by your uncle is priceless he obviously has a great sense of humour. I too look forward to hearing from you all and I hope that we will have many discussions with each other Piglit Happy mums days to all the wonderful mums

My family has a lot of problems. My 2 brothers r spoiled n tell me being sad is all in my head. Depression is in the head but I have no control.Working long hours forces me 2 get out. My friend forces me 2 get out. I'm not 2 happy here. Miss my family in Miami. Moms day n I couldn't see her. I told my bestie that I want 2 go back to Miami n she got mad. How can I be a good friend n have my own life. Nice I like this.

Hi china. I know how much you miss your Mum and it's so hard for you with not living close to you. Depression is not in your head sweetie and the sadness can go with it. If you can find a way to turn the sadness into finding things that make youhappy then the depression starts to lift. I feel that in your heart you long to go back to be with your family and maybe you should do this for you. If your bestie is a true bestie she will understand . Don't ever think that your'e not a good friend you are. You have been putting your bestie before you for along time. Take care my dear friend always here and thanks for coming on and opening up about the way you feel. This is one of the reasons I posted this so we can talk about anything to each other. After all that's what true friends are for. Talk soon Annie
