The New Kid on the Block

Hey everybody! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a beautiful, intelligent, sassy young lady from down South. I am a newlywed with one beautiful daughter and three wonderful step children. I have one of the greatest men in the world supporting me everyday. But everyday is not always a happy day. I am four years into my fight with HIV and blessedly, I am winning! My daughter, she is 2, and she is free from the fears I have everyday. I want another child, because I want to give my husband one of the best gifts that a woman can give a man. But I am somewhat afraid, because lately, I just feel sluggish and down a lot. I am not on medications. My last doctor said I was doing so well after have the baby, and that I could discontinue the meds. Now I wonder if that was the best choice for me. I feel like everyday, I am fighting time and my husband gets mad at me because I want to to do so much and I try to do as much as I can with little regard for taking a break. He is right to a certain extent, but I don't think he fully understands what I am feeling. What do you think?

Hi BRBeauty, thank you so much for being here with us and for sharing. I think that you are so incredibly strong and so amazing for fighting this and pushing forward with such a beautiful life that you have to live. I can understand why you are feeling the way you do about wanting to do so much, but I also think that it's important to give yourself a break and take care of you. As long as your doctor is giving you the go-ahead to do the things that you want to do, then I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to do them. Though, I do understand your husbands concerns. What an amazing man to have in your life who cares for you and loves you so much.

I am here for you and here anytime that you need anything. Please keep sharing with us.
