    Do YOU want to get pregnant 5 minutes after the wedding?

    My husband and I have been married for 7 years this year, and we knew prior to getting engaged that kids weren't for us. Did I go through a phase where I wanted kids? Yes, I did. But then I talked with my mom some about it, and she talked about how exhausting children are (we both have...

    84. I have returned... again!

    So... well. Wow. It's been almost exactly 3 years since I've been here. That's kind of crazy, yo. Lots has changed, again!! It's really kind of awesome to see how God's been at work in my life since I lasted posted here. Last time I posted was in October 2011. Let me see if I can do...

    Greeters Annex - fellowship for greeters and newbies (4)

    Hi everyone!! I'm not new, but I haven't been around for 3+ years. The boards look a lot less active than they were when I was more active, which kind of makes me sad... But then, considering I've been a member since 2003, I guess waxing and waning of forums is normal. :) Glad to be back...

    83. remember surrender

    Well, I'm feeling better today, thank God. :) Yesterday was also a better day, minus the fact that my husband managed to get injured at work. He had to get 5 stitches under his right eye, poor thing. I was pretty upset about it at first since he didn't tell me about it until after the fact...

    82. looking for the music, in the music box

    Well, I'm back after an even longer absence. So hiiii. I'm not in a very good headspace right now. Really struggling with thoughts like: - "I deserve all the pain I'm in." - "I should cut." - "I should just stop eating since I'm so fat and ugly." - "I am a horrible person and deserve to...

    The physical pain is difficult to cope with, yeah, but I'm getting used to it. Kind of. I don't really know if it's something you ever fully get used to, but I'm learning to work around it, as much as that sucks. Yes, I am finding that my care team is having a hard time helping me now. :( It...

    You're welcome. :) I'm glad to hear that all is well on the family side of things - that's pretty awesome that you have four grandkids and another on the way!! Last time I was around you only had Ella, Jake, & Connor, I believe. Also glad to hear that Jesus saw you through your last bout of...

    Fibromyalgia, anyone?

    Hey, I was wondering if there are any people out there who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia? My pain started in June after a very stressful week in the hospital, although the fatigue has been going on for years. I was tentatively diagnosed in July and have been living with it ever since...

    Hi everyone!! I'm back, although I don't know for how long. :hug: I have missed you all, and thought I'd come back and see how things are going with everyone. I see that the coffee shop thread is alive and well - that's great to see!! So what's been happening while I've been away? It's...

    Been thinking of you all... things have been rough here with me having nightmares every night since I started my new med (Equetro/Tegretol) - I'm only on 400mg/day of it, which is a "low dose" - and I haven't noticed any really bad side effects other than the nightmares. But those are bad...

    *hugs all* So sorry I have not been around lately, since my last post... DS, how are those cuts doing? Also, I've been told by Jarrod not to mix up my ED thoughts/behaviors with fasting for God, because that can just be an "excuse" to engage in ED-related behaviors. I'm not saying that's what...

    Am in a very very dark place at the moment, as many of us seem to be... am so withdrawn right now that I cannot go into detail, feel numb from it all, but just need prayers. I'll try to update & reply in the next few days. So sorry am not able to do so now!! :(
