If you are experiencing abuse - you need to talk to someone.
Call this number above and talk to the national hotline for domestic violence.
I know it's hard to tell people what's happening in your life. Just send me an
email to vent or to get enough strength to call the hotline number.
You can take this video any way you'd like to, but I'd hope that you would look
at it as a person who does care about abuse and wants to do something... to help others. I found this girl on youtube.com...
she does some good work, but won't return my e-mails to her.
Need information concerning mental health issues? These two sites might be what you're looking for!
You may not realize that you are experiencing
a mental illness. Post traumatic stress disorder, depression, addiction problems, eating and sleeping disorders are commonly
experienced by those who are in a domstic violence or abusive situation. Please read about the symptoms of these mental illnesses
by clicking on the link anxieties 101 below.
Get help through a mental health professional.
You and your children most likely need professional assessments and counseling with other treatment.
This website was actually the original website of the entire network.
It was designed to show how our mental health can affect all of us - no matter what gender or what age. It also shows how
our lifestyle factors affect our mental health.

abuse 101- You are here now!
Abuse and domestic
violence were once included in the original site website I designed - anxiety understanding - but had to be taken out when
anxieties 101 became a reality. It was important to me to include this in information pertaining to mental health because
I personally lived in domestic violence my entire life, but had never known about mental illness.
Even after visiting
the emergency room almost everyday for one year, no one ever told me I might be experiencing an anxiety or panic attack. I
had several endoscopic procedures and saw specialists regularly, even took Percocet while pregnant to control my chest pain
because the specialists didn't understand what was causing me the unbearable pain.
I was finally diagnosed
with post traumatic stress disorder, depression and an eating disorder. I firmly assert that all victims of abuse and domestic
violence need to engage in a mental health assessment when entering shelters, as well as their children. If mental health
was a priority, perhaps it wouldn't take women so long to leave their abusive husband, partners, parents, or whoever instead
of it taking up to seven times of leaving the abusive situation to finally leave for good.
The following pages
are found on the abuse 101 website:
Welcome! Once again,
I had to personally include eating and sleeping disorders in my own personal growth recovery journey so a website emerged
concerning them all. I personally have dealt with night eating syndrome, an eating/sleeping disorder most of my life. I moderate
a support group for night eaters, visit the site by clicking the above link to join the group. You'll see the link on every
page to join.
Eating disorders,
mental health, abuse, domestic violence are all connected. This was a very difficult part of my recovery. Although I beat
eating at night, my sleep remains disordered and my eating habits are still not as healthy and consistent as they need to
be.
To learn more about
the site, just click on the link above! Here are the pages included within the night eating website:
Ithought
of the name for the next few sites because throughout my personal growth recovery journey it seemed that I was unpeeling the
layers within to find more things to discover and figure out within my own self. So as you go through this site - you'll find
the second stage of what I found was needed for a personal growth recovery journey and as you visit the next few layer down
under sites, you'll see how you are peeling back the layers of time in your own journey as well!

different religions: Some of you may have religious beliefs that are keeping you in a domstic violence relationship. (marriage) You do not have
to suffer with domestic violence - the Lord doesn't want you to be abused. This was a huge factor in my own personal decisions
to stay in a domestic violence relationship. Don't let it be yours! Get out if you are a victim.
Throughout my personal growth and recovery journey I've had to become
very truthful with myself concerning how my religious beliefs swayed my thinking throughout my difficult past. Defining our
own personal religious beliefs, I believe, is something very important instead of just adopting the beliefs of our parents.
Take a peek and see if anything touches you!

children 101: Go to this site to read more about abuse and children.
In keeping with my original theme in anxieties 101 - I wanted to take
the gender/age groups a step further with their own personal sites. Information concerning children is of the utmost importance
since children don't come with how to manuals when they are born; I feel it's important to look at our own upbringings, realize
the results of the parenting practices of our parents and then teach ourselves what different parenting skills are needed
to raise emotionally and physically healthy kids!

There's more information here, some pages aren't completed, but as always - this network is a work in progress
- a personal challenge that is included in my own personal growth recovery journey! I do the best I can to help as many people
and address as many topics as possible!
angels and

teenscene! There's just too much info for girls and guys to be included in one site and not enough space! It's still a work
in progress but check it out!
This site is coming
along as well. I just feel that many of the emotions and feelings pages are for adults more than teens and whose more emotional
than teens? They needed their own site, so it's in the works!
parental
alienation is a trend that's fast becoming too common in

I understand that you are in a hurry to find what you need to know.
I'll keep it short on this page and explain more about me on "my personal story" page!
If you still can't find what you need to know and you would like help finding it, please click
on the provided e-mail links to send me an e-mail with what you're searching for. This network of sites is extremely special to me. I'm here if you just need
to vent - if you need a shoulder to lean on - a friend - or just a sounding board for whatever you need to say. I'm almost
always here. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. I was once where you are and I know exactly how it feels.

I'm back to work here and
all over the network as well as www.selfgrowth.com - newsvine.com - my new blog at living with emotional feelings, intuit.com, and I'm beginning to write for another online publication called the examiner.com. It's all in a days work!
Typing my fingers to the bone has been most of my days recently, but I'm working on some other things as well, most directly
- my own self. I suddenly realized that I was too focused on one thing - my mental health.
Last month I began changing
my thought processes a bit to examine what goals I need to consider making so I can prioritize them and make plans to accomplish
each one. I have let myself go, "physically" and that's not good. While my mental health continues to be a struggle, I was
under the impression that I would be able to get it under control and be able to go on with the next thing. Mental health
issues aren't quite that simple to beat or so I'm finding out anyway, especially being diagnosed with post traumatic stress
disorder.
I went to a sleep clinic
and found that I was waking up between 35-40 times per hour each night. I have sleep apnea which has continually gotten worse
with weight gain. My oxygen saturation is also sinking down to 50% at times while I'm sleeping which is also very bad. So
I am getting a CPAP machine. I'll be writing my story about my sleep problems and how I'm trying to alleviate them within
the next six months over at anxieties 101 on the sleep page.
I have also gained a huge
amount of weight because of my leg. If you haven't read about my accident I had six years ago, I have had a very weak leg
that swells constantly around my ankle, gives me too much pain and I can't walk but for a few yards and I have to sit down.
I just can't exercise the way I have always exercise in the past.
So I am considering taking on swimming.
I'm so excited about it. I have found that the only thing I can do about my leg is to lose weight and have cortisone shots
into my ankle. Perhaps after losing some weight and strengthening my legs with a non weight bearing exercise I'll have less
pain at the end of each day.
I'm also going to rent some
yoga cd's and see if I can find one I like - then I'll buy it. I need to devote some time to relaxation, meditation and yoga.
I'm excited that I've made the decision to actually incorporate these very important activities into my daily regime.
There's a website I'm very
excited about and it's outside my network, it's www.innerbonding.com. I suggest that everyone visit the website and register to read
some of the free articles Margaret has on her site. I'm registered, and I've added her to my facebook, but I'm going to purchase
some of her materials and start working on inner bonding. I've found that this is the most important step for me to take in
finding out how to love myself.
I have some issues within
my family that I need to concentrate on as well. I will be taking some important time off of working and writing to see if
I can interupt the dysfunction that's currently making many people within my family miserable. I have made plans to take a
few trips on my own without the rest of the family so I can spend some quality time with a few of my adult children. I'm hoping
that things go well with them. My first trip is in September and it's to New York City! I'm very excited about it.
Here at the emotional feelings network of sites I've been trying to get all the sites looking the same and finished.
I've changed the homepages of each site or added a "network guide" which you will find directly after the homepage in the
navigational panel on the left hand side of the page. Tripod is changing their site building program to a new one so each
site will have to be transferred over to this new web tool. This month will be busy for me transferring over 30 websites to
the new tool. It will be interesting so wish me luck. If you see strange looks or changes to the format or background you'll
know why.
As soon as I get all the
sites transferred over I'll be finishing up the current sites listed on the homepages and then tweaking them all so that each
page will contain up to date information unless of course, the information seems to be timeless as some surely is. So as you
can see, I've been formulating a plan to get these sites in tip top shape so they take less time to maintain.
I haven't had an income
for seven years so that is one of my priorities. While I'll never make the emotional feelings network of sites a profitable
venture - I am working on a project that will make money on the Internet so I need to keep my time frame flexible with working
on the basics of setting up a new business. This is why I am branching out and writing some articles on other network sites
so that I can meet some people who I may be able to do business with in the future.
Perhaps I'll be sharing
some good fish stories with you all as I'm going to be doing some night fishing this month with my husband. August always
seems to have the most meteor showers and the weather will be nice still before fall comes. I've missed night fishing with
him. Part of my personal growth and recovery journey will now revolve around working on my relationships and my marriage is
one that could use a small amount of extra work - so I pick fishing in August! Watch out you big channel cats, I'll be catching
you with my mean ol' "Ugly Stick" soon!
As for all of you, I thank
you for continuing to visit the emotional feelings network of sites. I've begun to pay for
a few of the sites so that I could increase the amount of information on those sites as well as monitoring the visitors who
come to the site. This information that's available to me shows me what you all are searching for when you come to the sites.
So after I collect that information, I will research whatever it is you've been looking for and add the info to the appropriate
pages so the next time you come looking the info will be there.
I'm thankful to get that
information because it helps to guide me towards information that you all are looking for thus keeping me current and interesting!
There's more to come that I'll tell you about in September, so keep visiting and send me an email now and then to say hello!
It's those emails that keep me going!
This website

When learning about your emotions and feelings, be sure to visit the emotion and feeling pages for the emotions and
feelings that you would like to feel and know more about as well as the ones you are presently feeling.
This site adds a few extra emotions and feelings beginning with the letter
"a" like emotional feelings has; as well as a continuation of some of the same emotions and feelings as the home site!
The following feeling and emotions words are presently within this website:
This site is a copy
cat to feeling emotional, four! It has all the same emotions and feelings, but I had to open a new
site because #4 was running out of free space! Not all the pages are filled, but I'm working on it daily. At the top of each
page is a link back to that same emotion or feeling in feeling emotional, four!
This is an old site, one of the few that took on the original growth spurt,
but is now still here - holding its own - and has some new emotions and feelings to be added onto. There are some articled
on some of the new pages, but watch for new info to be added all the time!
This site came about because Tripod, the host of these free-sites, accidentally
deleted one of my sites called, "emotional feelings." I had to quickly change all the links on 30+ sites that went to emotional
feelings - and I'm afraid I haven't finished the job yet. But feeling emotional, 5 added a few more emotions and feelings
to the mix and is almost completed. Bear with me on the completion of the site please!
The following emotions and feelings are found at feeling emotional, 5.
This site deals with words that begin with the two letters "un" before
an emotion or feeling. This site has the first half of the alphabet and the #2 site deals with the last half of the alphabet!
The self pages started out because I found the need to learn more about
myself in my personal growth recovery journey. This site speaks to "self" emotions and feelings; for example - self acceptance
and self confident. It's important that we learn as much as possible about our own selves as we can't move forward in personal
growth and recovery until we've faced our own self. Check it out. The following pages are available on this site!
This site isn't
finished yet, but lo and behold you'll get some information should you venture there. I'm working as fast as I can to finish
up these unfinished sites!
