@grecy095, oh definitely it probably does affect your relationships.  I think that is why I was attracted to alcoholics, they were abusive.  I was even attracted to men that were 10 years older, looking for a “father” figure.  It’s hard to get over, when you’re around abuse, because you think that is “normal.” 🙁

it affects me big time @4cryingoutloud because it makes me not try to say yes to a suitor and start relationship because I am thinking I will end the same way. Though my parents are like that, they never gave up with each other and that is making me inspired as well, but still the abuse is there.

@peachpurple, hope you got help for the gallstones?  I can relate to gallbladder problems, in fact I had mine removed.

@grecy95, yes that would be bulimia.  That’s what I would do.  At first I made myself throw up, then it just became automatic every time I ate I would just throw up.  I knew no matter what I ate I was going to get fat and I did…[Read more]

@grecy095, absolutely!!  Seeing a parent being abused can also cause problems in one’s life as well.  Some times we fall into situations that are abused parents go through, thinking that that is the way all women should be treated and that’s NOT right either.  Glad you mentioned this, because you witnessed abuse to your mother and that can have ef…[Read more]

@peachpurple are you still doing it now?

@4cryingoutloud I never had an eating disorder but I know a classmate has bulimia, is that the right term? She was fat before and doesn’t want to get fatter so she eats what she wants to eat but vomit after it. She put a finger to touch her throat and there is a mark on her finger that she is putting it…[Read more]

Nope I never had earting disorder problem but I did had throwing up because I forced myself to do it.

I had gallstones in my gallbladder.

So, everytime I eat food, I had sharp pain in the between my diaphram.

Those stones were stuck in the gallbladder pipeline .

So, the bile duct couldn’t move forward.

So, in order to stop the pain, I had to…[Read more]

I know I suffered abuse from my father, verbal abuse, not specifically to me but to my mother. My father verbally abuse my mother and I know it affects my decision to get myself to have my own family, to tie up in a marriage because I don’t want that to happen to me too.I don’t want a very abusive husband. I am praying he is not that kind. Up…[Read more]

@lauraojimba

Firstly, sorry to hear about it.

I heard that breast C is a hereditary disease. Is it true?

Like Angelina Jolie case.

I have 2 sister-in-laws and a niece who had breast C.

Both sister-in laws were hereditary case because their sisters and mom had the same disease too.

Only my niece isn’t which is the weird case.

All of them…[Read more]

@lauraojimba I have a supervisor who had a breast cancer. The cancer left her and came back. Even though she had suffered a lot from it, she never stop helping people and inspiring them. The illness had never become a hindrance for her to become a person that she is. She said that her purpose on earth will lives on and that is the legacy she wants…[Read more]

Yes.

That’s right. Preventive measures work better than any medicines. However, eating healthy is not the only solution. We also need to look at environment, situation and yes, sometimes family history too. Some diseases are simply carried from parents to children. 🙁

In either case, it is safe to get the remedy on time.

@thinker, I try to eat healthy and have been lucky not to have many health concerns.  God is my healer.

Hi @4cryingoutloud

So, how you manage diseases then?

I too am wary of looking waiting for Doctos.

that was also my own problem especially when puberty hits you first thin g that was in my mind was “death”

I want to know what is bipolar disorder? I used to think I have it, I haven’t visiting a doctor and got myself check. What I know about bipolar disorder is that you have mood swings, but I haven’t had any information from the people who are experiencing it. I hope you able to share what happened to you and I would love to know about this.

@JoDee  I do not believe that you can cure depression or anxiety, but it definitely can be controlled. There are many methods that people can use to decrease the severity of their depression and anxiety. A lot of people use meditation as one method to do this.

@Lola  I hope you are able to figure out what is making your anxiety worse and are a…[Read more]
