January 20th: make a bet with someone day!

My depression can often be a combination of chemical imbalance, which can be helped with meds, and what my life is like at the time. We've all been through a huge change...HUGE, not only physically, but mentally. I urge you to talk to a professional about what's going on Sometimes meds plus building a support system will help a lot. Take care if yourself, Krystal

Get liquid pain meds, if possible. Everyone is different; I needed pain meds for a week, some only need Tylenol. Be careful not to take too much Tylenol...can cause liver failure.

Sounds like she triggered some powerful emotions. I went to my support group awhile back, and a woman snaccked on wheat thins during the entire group. I was pissed at first, but then I remembered that I couldn't judge; after all, I was sitting in the same group, one comprised of people who were morbidly obese and required major surgery to correct it. None of us got there because of good choices, and i had no business judging others because they were deeper into their food addiction than I. I do wonder how some people pass the psych evaluation. I met one girl who was bulimic and very sick, but qualified for surgery nonetheless. It has been very hard for her. It's hard not to judge sometimes, especially when you meet people who have seemingly thrown away this gift. Kris

I'd call your PCP or surgeon.

January 17th: "Go to the library day." It's Ben Franklin's birthday...inventor of the US public library system.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Kris

I'm a great tattoo lover.. Unfortunately, my beautiful tattoo on leg is sagging...

My niece died unexpectedly 12 days ago...I started smoking again.. Shit. I'm not even going to worry about it right now, but it's so hard..worst addiction ever.

Hey guys..most of you know I lost my niece on the 4th...she was 24. She was an incredibly creative soul, and she created a holiday calendar...365 days of funny, poignant, crazy holidays. I will post each days holiday..follow along! Jan. 16th: Don't be afraid of being afraid day. Love all you!

January 16 th: don't be afraid of being afraid day.

Will do! We also have a facebook page honoring her..Sammy's Days, or friend me, and I'll send info. Kristin Maguire from oconomowoc, Wi

On January 4th, my sister found my beloved niece, age 24, dead.. Sammy was a rare,talented, wildly creative girl who left us a unique gift: a personal calendar in which she had created 365 holidays, one for each day of the year. These days reflect her creative spirit: sometimes ordinary, often funny( she could NOT spell), but always full of her poignant youth, I urge you to join us in celebrating a holiday everyday. Post your experiences or your own holiday. Write a poem. Live life. January 15 th Start a conversation w/ a stranger day!

Call dr to check, but milk if mag always does it for me...I would still check with dr.

I don't think I have a before..but will post after.

I try not to keep any junk around. It's been hard to eat properly this past week. Either not eating at all, or eating fattening foods. Didn't weigh..don't care right now.

I'm not losing right now either... Thanks everyone for warm wishes and prayers. Kris

I'm devastated. My 24 year old niece was found dead by my sister last night She was my sisters only child. She was the apple if my eye. No word yet on cause. My heart is breaking.
