About Me
I'm a preschool teacher. I love working with children. I've been depressed & anxious since childhood. I remember having panic attacks when I was in preschool because I would color outside the lines. I started thinking suicidal thoughts when I was about 10yrs old. My depression was getting under control but about a year ago, it all fell apart. I've been extremely anxious and depressed since. If you ever need someone to talk to, I love to help people & I am a good listener.

Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I was recently diagnosed with OCD but now that I've learned about it, I found out that I've had it my entire life. My OCD has played a big part in my anxiety. I would have panic attacks if things weren't perfect. I'm a perfectionist but I'm doing my best to know that things are never "perfect"
Treatments
Open Anxiety
I've had anxiety my whole life. I remember having panic attacks when I was in preschool because I colored outside of the lines. I was only diagnosed a few years ago. My OCD plays a big part in my anxiety. I'm a perfectionist & I panic if I do something wrong. I'm trying to learn that I can't be perfect.

Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've lost 70lbs. I was average for most of my life but then I got very depressed & the my dr tried various meds to help me but one of the meds made me gain about 30-40lbs in a matter of a month. I stopped using the med but the weight did not come off. This made me more depressed so i started eating more & eventually gained a total of 70lbs. I started my own diet that i counted my calories & walked 2mi everymorning & evetually lost the weight. I still struggle to keep it off tho.
Treatments

I used to self-injure myself for about 5yrs. I stopped about two years ago but then I did it again about a month ago. I do notice that when I get very anxious around people, i start to scratch my arms. Not hard enough to make myself bleed but it's embarrassing when people notice.
