Just saying hello.. I have had P T S D anxiety and panic attacks depression phobias agoraphobia for the last 20 years. I've experienced a lot of abuse both as a child and an adult. Emotional, sexual and physical and mental. I am working to stay free of abuse.

I am dealing with a lot and needed a place to go to talk about it. Though I have a pdoc and meds I am in a very lonely place in my life. I have severe family issues I am dealing with I am the caretaker in my family. I am a Katrina survivor and have problems from Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina seems to have undone most of the work I'd done to get better. I had to move to a rural area because of the devastation from the hurricane, and I've experienced a lot of discrimination here in the last 3 years. Due to the lack of education and lack of resources. It is a very hard place to live but I do not see any other way at this time. I will post more as I am more comfortable and this migraine goes away ..its hard to focus ..sorry.

Thank you...I love your pics:) BTW thanks for sharing. I am glad to be here. I am shut down right now but I am sure with a little help I will open up;) This town is not very kind to people with mental illness so I've learned to keep quiet about mine. And make excuses.

My mother and sister moved to Texas right after the hurricane and I found out that mom very sick she's 68 and has arthritis, high blood pressure is diabetic and can only walk with a cane to her mailbox..and is also losing her motor skills. When mom moved to Texas she had no problems like this. She feels trapped by my sister who had 2 babies a boy who is a couple of months old and a 2 year old and has no feeling for people in pain. She's been dumping the kids off anytime at moms and will not take no for an answer. My sisters boyfriend bought her a house and new car and fully supports her and the babies. I am very concerned mom is being abused from things she has told me and I talked to her again this morning ...she finally agreed to write her sisters a letter explaining her situation and I am sure she will be able to come home. She is going to be ok. But the whole situation sickened me....

More to come as I am able.
