Nearly 18 years ago, I did not understand what sounds meant to me. Every morning for the first few weeks, when I was a rough little three-year old child, my mother had to sit on me in order to get the magnet on my head. I know that sounds cruel of my mother, but I am grateful to her for doing this because she has taught me that it is unimaginable to live in a silent world. Today, I understand...
I joined your community because I think I might be married to a disguised narcissist. I was hoping you can help me figure it out. I knew there is something wrong with him and his family but I never considered NPD. When a US military base psychologist brought up the idea I looked up NPD on Wikipedia and I didn’t take it too seriously because he did not match the symptoms described. His...
Hi, I was diagnosed with COPD/Asthma 6 years ago. I had smoked 2.5 packs per day for 30 years and quit 3 days prior to diagnosis.I was recently released from a week in the hospital with double pneumonia (my first exacerbation). I have been using Advair and Albuterol inhalers for a few years and thought that was as good as it was going to get, but struggled constantly to breathe and perform...
A kiwi girl who loves learning, interesting ideas and sharing those ideas with others. I'm in recovery for Anorexia Nervosa and working to regain my health, identity and ability to cope with life. I thrive on learning about anything and everything - this often poses a problem when thinking ahead to University Studies since I want to take every course! I started a Biomedical degree (bachelors)...
My name is Michelle.
I love all of the lovely things in life. And the lovely things in life love me too, I suppose. Or one would assume, since I’ve been fortunate to experience many lovely things.
However, life wasn’t always so lovely.
When I look back at my teenage years, I could use the word “angst”, just as easily as an Stephen Chobsky, or a Haulden...
I am mother to two incredibly loving children, Vir my son is 7 and Saira my daughter was born on 21st July 2008. Saira was born with an extra 21st chromosone aka Down Syndrome which naturally came as a huge surprise to us. She has extreme hypotonia, high myopia, hearing loss in one ear and is hypothyroid but all of these are just a part of her and do not define what she is. Her birth has changed...

While life continued for the rest of the world, it's as if life...
After spending the past 20 years as an owner and operator of assisted living communities, I have turned my energies to a new focus: support, resources and training for all senior care providers. Families, caregivers and managers are each an important part of the network of caring for seniors. Someday we'll all be old, and that makes the training and support for today's caregivers personal -...
