Jamie: Hello! I am Jamie- a nurse, a wife, and a mother (of 2 great kids and 3 amazing dogs). I have also lived with chronic illness, including chronic depression, since I was a teenager. Many years later, I now thrive with my depression rather than simply survive. I started this blog to share info and my experience with severe, chronic depression because I want YOU to thrive as well!

Show me the $$$: Subscriptions; The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Welcome back to Show me the $$$ . If this is your first time, feel free to review prior Show Me the $$$ article posts. This episode: Subscriptions; The Gift that Keeps on Giving A charge for $70 and then a charge for $140? I was upset and confused. Three years ago, I purchased a new computer. In order to keep it safe from viruses, I signed up for an anti-virus subscription plan with a well-known vendor for $5.99 per month. I had cancelled my subscription, or so I thought, but I ended up with these expensive charges. I called customer service, which was not in the United States, and they were unable to help me. I explained that I had cancelled the service but was told I had not. After a frustrating conversation with a customer service representative that went nowhere, I hung up. I decided to investigate the problem myself. I pulled up my account online again and verified that it said cancelled. However, I noticed a very tiny (barely noticeable) drop-down feature. I selected the f

Weight Loss and Wellness: My Story

Hi! Let the weight loss and wellness continue! This my second article regarding this topic. Please feel free to check out Weight Loss and Wellness: Let the Journey Begin! In the last article I describe how achieving wellness and weight loss is like planning for a trip. There is a lot of planning involved (and it can be frustrating at times), but the end result is usually worth it. In this article, I am going to deviate a bit and tell you my own story of illness and weight fluctuation (fluctuation is my fancy way of saying I gain weight or lose weight when I don't want to.) Your story may be somewhat different, but we all deal with these issues in our lives. When I was 16, I came down with a virus known as mononucleosis. I found myself with the familiar fever, sore throat, and fatigue. It was several months before I felt mostly back to myself. What I didn't know then, but was soon to find out, was that the Epstein-Barr virus can trigger autoimmune conditions if you are prone

Jamie's Corner: Trouble for Santa

In the movies, I am not the elegant lady that walks down the stairs and charms her guests with grace and beauty. I am the one that trips on her gown, spills wine on her new dress and tries to carry on a conversation with spinach stuck in between her teeth. Years ago, it used to affect my sense of self and make my depression worse. But I no longer see it that way. A writer once told me anything that does not go smoothly in life makes for a good story. I agree. And I have lots of stories. View the full archive of Jamie's Corner here. My story this week: Trouble for Santa We get excited at Christmas time; waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. It does not matter that we are all over the age of 18 and, yes, we KNOW about Santa Claus. But we can enjoy the magic of the season. There is one problem; we are all night owls. This can mean trouble for Santa! Santa: Ok Prancer, here is the Juniper House, let's stop there. Buddy the Elf: Uh, Santa, they are all still awake. Santa: But it is
