This new Posher is looking forward to getting involved as a seller as well as a buyer. Watch for my closet to grow quickly after the holidays; I have finally had to accept I will never fit back into the sizes 6-12 I was wearing just 6 short years ago, and even if I did, this 57 year old grandmother won't ever be able to pull off the much younger look of closets full of beautiful & rarely, if ever, worn clothes that are taking up all my closet space-space I need for things that actually fit now.

I'm also in the process of recovering from a cervical disk fusion I had the day before Thanksgiving. I'm a chronic pain patient (from many causes) who struggles every single day to find a reason to fight the pain and get out of bed - despite the 5 beautiful granddaughters you see in this page's photo. In fact, feeling well enough to travel to see them is what keeps me trying to find ways to live with, or better yet, fix the pain. We're expecting our 6th grandbaby in June; it's too soon to know if it's a girl or boy, although Daddy has said he accepts what the odds tell him. :) Please watch for my closet to grow; maybe you'll find a thing or two you can't live without. ;) BTW, advice from veteran Poshers is always welcome!

@joanwyoung : Joan, I love the picture of your grand babies! They are just beautiful. There are several of us "Poshers" who are chronic pain sufferers...some due to illness, some due to surgery. If you ever feel like you need support from someone who totally understands, let me know! My e-mail is cvanzandt15@gmail.com. We can chat by phone📞, Skype💻, e-mail📄, or however you choose📲📮📯📝☎! Just know you're not alone. Stay positive and hope to chat soon. ❤💃
~ Carol (from New Jersey)
p.s. I have pics of my family posted in my closet, as well. 😊

@cvz15 Thank you so much for the encouragement! As I'm sure you know, sometimes that can change someone's entire day and especially chronic pain sufferers. I've only been on PM for a few weeks and I've already met some incredible women on here. I checked out the photos of your beautiful family, including Kojak. As my husband would say, if you love kitty cats, you must be good people. :)

@cvz15 I forgot - My email is jyoung914@att.net. I'd love to chat, too. :) And I've been hesitant to start listing items in my own closet, probably just bc it's new to me. Do you have any tips or suggestions you could share with me to shorten the learning curve? It seems fairly simple to start selling but I just haven't been able to jump off that cliff yet. If you wouldn't mind, email me with your suggestions so we can carry this conversation over there. Thanks a bunch!! Joan

@heatherc Thanks for the kind words; I'm feeling better. Had double fusion in '98, surgery in '03 to buy me some time before they did the 3rd fusion, and this surgery was finally that 3rd fusion. I've also started with a new pain clinic trying to get some answers & help with my lower back. It's a never-ending cycle. Have to fix these things so I can enjoy my grandbabies! Lol!

I appreciate your sweet support. I have also found so many sweet ladies on here, understanding what we all go through so much better, sometimes, than even our "significant others".

I'm sure we'll be chatting more, and I'll this evening for that crossbody purse. :)

phoebescloset11
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Pls don't hesitate to ask for help anytime. I hv a lot going on in my life right now that's why I'm up bc I can't turn my brain off! So frustrating. Funny, I thought at 41 I had life somewhat figured out & finally felt at peace then God throws me a curve ball to remind me I DON'T hv it figured out at all. More lessons to learn, I guess. Some of us are slower learners than others. Keep in touch! ❤
Feb 05Reply

joanwyoung
@phoebescloset11 I have to admit I'm also one of those slow learners. It's taken 5 or 6 years of giving in to the pain, hibernating under the covers or in the rest of the house, moaning and groaning about the pain and seeing the rest of my life as always the same. I knew that aging meant pain and decline; did I expect it in my 50s?!?! No way! Then I had grandbabies! I realized that if I was going to be part of their lives, I had to get a handle on my life. Am I still in pain? Absolutely! In fact, more so because of increasing my activity level, but I travel now to see my babies (we are in 4 different southern states), mostly by myself because hubby works, I enjoy my babies and when I get home, I allow myself to collapse and rebuild. It's difficult, but the alternative is unacceptable. Sorry - getting off my soapbox now. ;)

Hi Joan😃 Now I see why u want all the girl clothes 💗💗💗 They are beautiful🌺🌻🌺 They are definitely a reason to push on. I'm sorry about ur condition& I do hope they find something to help u. I work in MRI so I see many chronic pain sufferers. & good luck with ur new grand baby👍 We had the 2boys first then we lucked out with the girl👸 & as u can see she is a princess! Even tho I describe her as a tomboy in princess clothing! LOL & thank u for liking& sharing my closet. Welcome to Posh& Happy Poshing👠👗🎀
Feb 10Reply

joanwyoung
@tmsilva I know, right?! Lol! The two in the right (yeah, the little one escaping and her sister holding on for dear life) are the ones having the brother. The older is the tomboy, the younger is the girly little princess - and serious drama queen! Your family is beautiful, handsome young boys and such a little princess. She looks like a little angel! No wonder she's a tomboy, though, with two older brothers! Lol! As to my health, I'm very familiar with MRIs and the wonderful people that work so hard to make it as comfortable as possible. I'm with a new pain clinic now so maybe there'll be some better results, but I'm still struggling for now. Take care of that beautiful family!
Feb 10Reply

tmsilva
Well I do hope the new pain clinic helps. But as already know for sure that it takes time so just push thru the bad days& hope for more good days& celebrate when they come👏. Don't forget to let me know if u want the bundle I did for u or if u wanna change something. Or if u changed ur mind. That's fine. Either way. Ill be putting the kiddies to bed soon& I can get the package together. If not tonite I could do it tomro too bc I'm off from work. Hope to hear frm u& be well😘

@joanwyoung my son is in chronic pain as well and he is on disability. He stays home with my grandson whom I visited today. Even with his pain he was putting together a swing set today for marks 3rd birthday. He is so sweet. Hope you feel better. I just joined posh about 3 weeks ago. I'm a recovering shopaholic so it feels good to purge all this "stuff".
Mar 18Reply

joanwyoung
@hoot1000 I'm so sorry to hear your son is a chronic pain sufferer. At least mine waited until my own kids were grown before it hit. I hate that I'm not able to play with my grandchildren as much as I'd like, but thankfully I'm not trying to raise them. Did your son have an accident that caused his pain? He's doing the right thing, though. You have to try to do as much as you can do instead of giving up. I learned that lesson the hard way. I'd always been active and strong and when the pain issues hit, I gave up and gave in, lying around all the time and shopping online. So I'm a struggling compulsive shopper which is why I'm on here, too, trying to sell the excess I accumulated. It's not easy, is it? :) I'm not quite as new as you, but I'm still learning, too. Good luck!

@joanwyoung thank you so much. My son has a disease of the spine his hips are that of an old man. It took many doctors to diagnose him but finally doctors at parkland hospital in Dallas figured it out he takes embrel injections and a ton of other meds. It's amazing he functions as well as he does. He sure loves his little boy. He will be three April 2nd. I live being a grandma ! Well I'd better get sone sleep for a change. I shipped 4 packages today and put a little extra gift in yours. Hope you like it. Thanks again. Nancy.

Life throws us some curve balls we just don't understand and it's easy to get tired and not want to function. I have found that this year after fighting cancer since I was pregnant w/ my now 16 yr old that I question why me? And why now? And please give me the energy back I once had! But life is just as beautiful now my Joan because we are HERE we are ALIVE and we have years ahead of us to make a mark on this life even if its in just a little way. You are a fighter and you have strength in you that you have to dig deep to find... Just remember-I will not fall down today, I shall stand and be as strong as I can and god will give me more strength and I promise you it will get better and you will be better, take time to rest and heal and I promise as your new friend to check on you and help any way I can.

@joanwyoung I will be glad to keep you going and put a smile on your face any day you need it my sweet friend, I feel blessed to have met you and so many amazing ladies who are all faced with challenges. Yesterday I was feeling so so down.. I got an overdose of chemo which resulted in a mild heart attack on Sunday ( I thought it was horrible heartburn like I'd never felt) and I felt just AWFUL!!! Miserable ill and had just had enough! But get the phone call I got today-my dr has found (through my misery this week) that he can treat other patients w/my type of cancer and in his words "Jayne your feeling so awful and sick the last ten days will lift the death warrant of the shoulders of fifty plus people in the next month. My struggle will know teach oncologists that a slow overdose of the drug try experiment me on can put people in remission including myself!!!!! How can I stay sad and blue when I have helped others?? I feel blessed Joan beyond belief that my suffering may have helped others and what a gift that is!!!!
