Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

Re: A mom who frequented here has passed away.
I dont know much but her MIL says that they think it was because of new meds she was taking. She said she just didnt wake up on the morning of the 11th.
She will be missed. Her MIL wants to get ahold of UBPN because Michelle was trying to do big things for Brachial Plexus. I told her to come here and post something.
Maggie cried and said poor Alyse she doesnt have a mommy now. It broke my heart and it is still breaking. She was an awesome friend.
