wow, doesnt it hurt?

[likejamais]

chest pains are symptoms of stress. I've been depressed for years, but had never consulted a doctor until I started getting chest pains. Please Wafaa, when you are done, visit a doctor immediately. I understand that you are doing a sort of empathic suffering, but do not want to see you seriously harmed. I can't help wondering if your family would want to protect you from yourself. Still I commend your ability to cope. Nine days to go, and my thoughts will be with you for every one.

'Real' depends on your perception. My daughter-in-law called to ask me to NOT send anymore red and blue clothing for her baby since they are gang colors. I was apalled but obviously comply. I am glad I do not have to live that way and hope I never have to. Thank you for trying to get Americans to understand what life in Iraq must be like.
