About lost79

Blessed79 started this conversation
Nov 25, 2008

Hello my name is Gayle,I am a 31 year old house wife I have been married to my wonderful husband Joe for almost 12 years

I take care of my mom due to a stoke back in 2000 and in may of last year she was diagnosed with diabetes when she almost fell in to a diabetic coma sad

I cant work because I have IBS which in turn caused me to become agoraphobic (which is a fear of leaving my house) I have had this problem since I was 16 and was unable to finish school,I even had to have my wedding in my front yard.

I love to help people whether it is through donations (which am not able to do as much as I would like) or helping them find ways to make money online or just as a friend to chat with.

 

I am getting a paypal Christmas found together so I can do Christmas for my family this year (since I have not been able to do any for the past 2 years)and thought if I could just get some people to donate $1 or $2 maybe I could do a good Christmas..so here I am asking that if any of my friends on here could help out I would greatly appreciate it God Bless you all 

 


also in closing I would like to say I am doing odd's and ends on line to make a little extra money as well,and am looking for active referrals so I can make a little more if you are willing or know someone who would be willing to help in this area that would be great

thank you and God Bless you all

Gayle

 in response to N1ck13B...   you are very welcome sweetie.
just so you know it does get a little frustrating try to make good money with those sites but if you keep at it you will see that it does pay off well in the end and the best one of the sites in my opinion is "Paid the Fastest" you will find the link to that one on my website the reason it is the best is because it is really easy to make good money because the free offers are worth anywhere from 10 cents to $1 or more and they take maybe a minute or 2 to do and you can also earn points and spins with the points you can buy spins,jackpot entries,account upgrades and gift cards..the spins are you to spin a wheel and you can win anywhere from 1 point to $2...also you can cash out with only $1 (if you want) to paypal :)

sorry I started rambling lol I just know when I started out making money online I almost gave up because it didn't seem to be going as well as I wanted and if I had someone to explain it to me I might have been making a lot more then I was...anyway if you have any questions or need help let me know

and don't worry about not being able to donate we have decided to Have a Christmas when we get our Tax returns if we can't do anything sooner :)

May God Bless you and your Family and may you have a Blessed Christmas

well actually there are quite a few ways from posting on forums,click on ads,reading e-mails,doing free offers,even playing games oh yeah and even social networks...now don't get me wrong it is not a lot of money but if you work at it you can make well over $100 a month and even more then that if you can get active referrals

if you want you can check out my website that I made about it,it has a beginners guide and proof of payments from some of the sites
http://gayleguide.webs.com/

oh I don't have this link up on that site yet it is a social network site kinda like face book but you get paid for pretty much everything you do and you get like $1 for everyone that signs up under your referral link
http://www.sidetick.com/signup.php?src=erlo&signup_referer=46456

if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask send me an e-mail at lumbert79@hotmail.com

oh and here are 2 more sites that I don't have up on that site the first swag bucks is a search engine you do searches and get points that you can turn it to money or buy cool prizes with
http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/RubyDawn

and this one is a new site so I am not to sure how legit it is but I am checking it out and will post a payment proof if they are legit

Hello

I saw your post this morning and I do inbox dollars and send earnings but some other things I find on craigslist.org data and telemarketing that I use to do so I can do from home.

Here are some jobideas which are work from home for you to look at. And I don't like surveys to much time for nothing.

http://job-ideas.starshine1.aidpage.com/

I would look into your relationship and talk to your boyfriend about you leaving the house and why not? I hope things get better in that department.

Good luck and let me know if there is anything you need.

Best to you

Starshine

Hi Lost79...I can so relate to your peoblems. In Jan 96 I had my uterous out (after 7 kids...it seemed to b falling out) and within 2 weeks of that...my hair curled, i started panic atacks, agoraphobia and cought my husband sleeping with a co-worker. So which contributed most to my attacks I am not sure. But I threw the hubby out whaich was an awful experience. I hid inmy closet for months. A couple of my children would read fairytails and other childrens books to me to calm me down. It was a night mare. I got on some meds that helped me get out of the house and into my vehicle. I feel safe in my own truck and driving. I have to be in control. I love to ravel now but staying soemwhere is hard for me. I would rather sleep in my truck unless i take apill. But I am still fightiing it. I made the mistake of getting married again last year and he definately wasnt the right guy. He was controlling and very mean. I became miserable and depressed to where I wanted to die. He gave me a stroke by yelling at me and chasing me through a 17 room house. I did become agoraphobic again and it took me months to finally leave him. I sold what would not fit in my truck and moved from VA to texas. I am in a mess here but nothing like there. I have begun to "hibernate" again. I am fighting it. I dont have insurance or money to see a doctor so I am trying to get into a free counselor to help me. A Christian one at that because I need the counselor to know where I am with the Lord and keep the information they give to me in a Biblical aspect. The anxiety attacks are worse during a menopause happening. So I think that hormones are related to this. Breast cancer is in the family so I try to remember to drink black cohash tea that helps some.
But if I dont have a pill I go into seizures so it seems somedays I cant win for losing. I am searching for a doctor now to refill my pills. I cant get back to VA to see my regular doctor. I had to minor strokes in 2008 and that has given me heart damage so I am on a heart pill also.
I am looking for work but it isnt easy for me. I cant be in restaurants & some public places set me off. What a night mare! I had mentioned ot soemone else I feel like the Biblical JOB! Soemday this will end. either here or when I finally get to be with Jesus!
I also took care of my grandmother in 2004. She wanted to die at home and no one could stay with her. My Gram and I were very close so I didn't mind. I was more than happy to spend the last of her days with her. I talked to her as she went home to be with the Lord. It was something I will never forget and hope that soemone does it for me too. Even tho in her last minutes she heard me. She couldnt move or talk but as i talked to her tears ran down her from her eyes. So we can hear in our last moments. I would do it again for anyone. The elderly are precious people.
Well I wrote too much. This has actually calmed me down. My daughter and I are going thru such a hard time I have been crying for days. I only resulted in a bad headache and feeling like i have the flu. My family has helped me all that they can, my husband said he will give me money to get home but not to help me and I will be 50 next thursday. I am not handling being 50 so well. But life goes on.
I didn't think i would ever see 50 so I am blessed. I just never thought life would be this way at 50. I had an old fashioned vision.
Anyway....I will keep you in my prayers. I really wish you the best. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Many Blessings
B

 in response to lost79...   Reply to Lost79:---Holy Cow lost, I just read where your from, you won't believe this but I live in Chattaroy just north of Spokane. I just screamed when I saw where you live...what are the odds on you and I living so close to one another and both of us suffer from the same thing and by the way, I too am plaqued by having to run to the bathroom in the middle of panic attacks, it seems that the flight or fight urge is so strong if we get frightened bad enough the bladder and spinctor muscles just release so don't feel you are along with this problem my dear. I suffered for so long with agoraphobia that I became suicidal because I felt that I was doomed to just fade away in my house. I finally was able to get to the Mental Health Clinic and actually passed out just going to the office to be seen. My counselor walked me through facing the fear and was with me every step and yes I had to use the bathroom and vomited as well before I was able to get through walking in a Mall with her. But I made it, I didn't die and my world opened up from that day forward. You will get well, you must believe that and just let the panic flood over you and go with it, you will see that there is an end and it doesn't last very long. I know the day will come for you when you realize that you no longer are willing to live this way anymore. When it comes I hope you take the opportunity to kick that fear in the butt and take the life you deserve to have back. I wish you the absolute best of all holiday seasons and lots of luck. Please come by and let me know how you ae doing. love and hugs sincerly sheshe030

 in response to sheshe030...   I am so happy for you I don't think I have ever met anyone that has concurred agoraphobia and thank you for sharing your story with me I do try from time to time to get out but you see my panic attack's cause me to get painful Diarrhea and I for some reason can not use a public bathroom...but I know in time God will take this from me

and thank you for donating a couple dollars to my Christmas Fund I greatly appreciate it..I really want to do a little something for my mom and hubby :)

my God bless you and thank you again *hug*

Reply to Lost79:---I can relate to your agoraphobia and I also know the solitude and lonliness that surrounds it. I am so sorry you have to endure this horrible state of mind. I too was agoraphobic for several years, I didn't set foot out of my house for over 2 years and I was 45 years old before I could drive on a freeway and that is still rather iffy. All I can do is tell you that there is light at the end of your tunnel and the only way I could be released from my own fears was to just face them and let all the dreaded effects of agoraphobia melt all over me and I thought I was going to die. My mouth went dry and I shook like a leaf, my vision became very distorted and I sweat like crazy. I couldn't talk and couldn't walk well but I did get through it and every day I exposed myself to my fears and little by little the fog I lived in for several years lifted. Someday when you are ready you can do the same, I know you can and I promise you you will not die but I will also tell you that you will have the mother of all panic attacks but it will go away and you will be stronger for it. As far as your paypal account goes, I will gladly put a few dollars in it, I hope many others will do the same, you have enough on your plate to worry about and if I can be of a little help it would be my pleasure. I hope you have a great holiday season and when you think your ready to venture out please let me know and I will help you any way I can. Sincerely sheshe030

Hi gayle, This is Darla in Texas. It s a noble thing that you do taking care of your Mom. (It's hard to take care of anyone for that matter) the physical and most important, mental strain is alot to bare.
Most cities have a food bank through one of the churches. They give what they can and believe me just having a few staples really makes a difference. I talked a couple of my girl friends into signing up with me and we swap and trade things we dont use. (one would rather have rice, I prefer to have beans ect.)
Utilities. (Man have I been there) keep calling and searching for help on that. It's out there. If you were in Texas I could tell you where to call, but it's different in every state. Don't let anyone tell you that nothing is open or available, cause there is help. One plus is that you have a computer. Keep looking. You will find. Most of the people on this site are also in a bind. But we share ideas and resorces. No one knows more that someone that has been there. Stay with us, we all need each other.

You can find lots of ideas for making decorations and toys in books and magazines at the library, as well as online.  Look into Angel Food Ministries for info on affordable groceries, and check out WalMart for an entire Thanksgiving dinner for about $20.  I hope some of my pages will give you some ideas. Just cut and paste the addresses if the links don't work:

It's the women like you who sacrifice themselves to care for those around them that receive the least amount of support & care that's needed.

 I am a health educator and trainer- I taught research based (pharmaceutical company funded) doctor's continuing medical education for years...

 have you looked at your local medical universities running CLINICAL TRIALS on IBS where you are compensated money wise to participate to try new treatments and medications for IBS? It just may be a way to take part in a medical study, receive a drug that may help you, and receive compensation for your time & travel & participation in the study. 

Just a thought... it may hook you up with a study that will help treat your IBS and regain your freedom from fear of leaving the house...

also, look at local hospice who offer respite programs to care for family members so you can get time away-- while your mother is not qualified for hospice, they do KNOW where other respite caregiver programs exist for sick families and will offer help to have a caregiver come in as a volunteer and take over some responsibilties for a day or two so you can just have some free time to yourself and RELAX/BREATHE/ENJOY yourself!

Be proud you serve your family- it's as important as serving your country as our military family did!

I'm not sure how to go about finding information on my idea for you, but here it is. I have a friend (in Texas) who's mother is disable and on Medicaid/Medicair . She took a job as a "Home Health Aid" where there was no certification required. Now Medicaid pays here to take care of her mother. This could work for you. Does your mom have any insurance? Ask if they will pay for a home Health aid? If they will, you can either try to get on with them, and have you're mother request you, as an aid. Her she can get another aid, and you could work with a Vocational Rehabilitation program in your state, who will pay for a doctor to get your IBS under controll as well as your AgoraPhopia. It can be done, though it could take awhile. Here is some helpful info:
