From Patches: This was the question that day that I responded to on the air, after the producer called me the day before. I was the 3rd caller, and I found Dr. Smith to be very helpful. Someone who cared.

Oprah’s Radio Show: February 24, 2009 9:30 a. m PST

With: Dr. Robin Smith

Question: Is everyday Groundhog Day for you?

Are you living the same day of your life over and over? Does it sometimes feel as if you are constantly in the same relationship, but with a different person? Are you stuck in yester-year? Dr. Robin wants to help! Share your story and get out of that rut!

Patches: I am totally Living a Groundhog Day! But I never see the Groundhog…I am living my life like I am in a Hamster Wheel!

I am in the same routine everyday, and then jump into my cage. I get up eat the same diet food - I take my Buddy our dog for a walk with the neighbor, try and do all my exercises.

Come back see if any orders came in on my online business, Patch Me Up Organics, a Body-Care company which is my passion these days.

My life sounds like a script from a movie, almost comical, and hard to believe, but its all true and not funny to me.

It started to crumble down 2 ½ years ago…All that who loved me seem to have disappeared, A best friend died of Cancer, my Acupuncturist died of Cancer she had for years…My Priest that was like a second Father to me died from a collapsed lung and complications in the hospital. My Mother, (MY DEAREST and BEST FRIEND) and my Aunt, who was a second Mother to me died within a week of each other.

Even the Therapist I saw after my Mom and Aunt passed had a severe stroke and a serious brain disorder. Now, is needed help himself. One girlfriend had personal problems and she drifted apart after 25 years while my other girlfriend moved away. So I treasure the friends I have now.

I ran a support group for 8 years and was the queen of fixing problems, as long as I had my family around and people I loved and people who loved and cared about me, it seemed so easy for me to conquer most anything in life when I had them.

I always had a strong need to help others, and finally realized I need to help myself first. I’m finding it difficult to get out of this CAGE I made for myself…I try to be happy and I pray…and I feel very thankful every day of my life. I am assuming I am still grieving.

I cook for my Brother (Husband), fee the dog, take care of the house, and pay the bills. Never go out, work all the time. I’m know I sound like I am complaining, however, I struggle with health issues that tends to hold me back at times…. I don’t have fun anymore, I miss me, I miss LIFE! I miss my best friend, my Mother and Aunt and Priest, and I guess you would say my support group in general, now everyone is gone. I am trying to get on to Twitter or blog so I can meet more people like me.

I want to feel more independent and feel like a women again, in all respects. Right now I’m in a tunnel trying to climb out of this rut. I am grateful for what I do have in all respects and know things could be worse! A lot Worse!

Dr. Robin, I hope you can help ME, I just can not get out of the Hamster cage?
