I used to me a mental health counselor so I am interested in mental health stuff. I also have personal health issues. One is a neuromuscular condition called Benign Fasciculation Syndrome. The word benign makes it seem as if "its nothing". But that's a not what it means. It means it won't kill you.

I also had some challenges with anxiety most of my life. Best guess anyone has ever had is to label it PTSD. Pretty rough childhood for the first 8 years.

And recently, I am having difficulty with my thyroid. I am pretty convinced that its something called Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome. The symptom picture fits really well. Been trying to get it cured for 8 months. (its isn't supposed to take that long), but i recently found out why the treatments aren't working. I have Candida. (where in heaven's name did that come from?). My doctor looked as surprised as I did. It's in the Wilson's literature that an infection can undermine treatment.

Whoa. Long intro. Can't imagine your interested in all that.

Hey, there are a lot of blessings in my life, especially when I pay attention to them. It's something I am trying to get better and better at.

Hi there! Well Im also very new here. nice to meet you. I am very interested in finding a place to talk about ptsd. My baby son, kory died of SIDS the day he turned 4 weeks old, and for years cuz of this, I suffer still from ptsd. Whenever i am around ANYONE who is sleeping, I automatically have to c heck and make sure they are breathing. That their chest is moving up and down. I may be this way the rest of my life because of waking up that morning to my husband screaming that kory was dead, but, i would really love to share with others that can help me to realize that im not so alone. Please help me find a place that deals with PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder). Thank you to anyoone thats reading this, i do appreciate that. Sincerely, Mykinzie.
