About Me
Finally back in therapy and on medication for anxiety and depression. Such a huge difference. Bit by bit I'm feeling more like my "old" self and am feeling more alive. I still want to figure out what I really want from life and be able to go out and get it. Focusing on the small activities and changes though, and working hard to avoid trying for any sort of perfection!!

My husband started a new job this week. It doesn't pay much, but it is a little more than he was getting with unemployment so that's good. It …

Thank you, my friend, for thinking of me and your kind words. I felt exhausted and emotionally drained. It hits me from time to time... Hopefully I'll get to recharge my batteries over the weekend. Hopefully :-) Hugs to you.

Support Groups
Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
First diagnosed 6 yrs ago and told I would NEVER have kids on my own. Then surprise - found out I was pregnant 6 yrs ago! Then I got pg with no problem over 2 yrs ago. I now have 2 beautiful boys. Doctors don't know everything.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Metformin Not Working
- Felt so sick all the time and gave me stomach problems. Spent more time int eh bathroom than living. Wasn't worth it.
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- Was on Yasmin. Definitely helped a bit with body hair and seemed to keep my body functioning better. As soon as I went off it I got pregnant, so that was a bonus.
Close Depression
Have struggled with depression on and off for years. Having a really hard time with it again and now don't have any mental health coverage.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Only helps to barely relieve tension.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- When I'm not feeling so low it helps some. Too impossible when I'm full of anxiety.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Helps to change my thinking, but again too hard when I'm so low and so anxious.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Have an appt next week w/ a free counseling place. Hope it goes okay.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- It did help a few years ago, but this year it didn't work so I went off it.
- Writing Too Soon to Tell
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- It was helpful 4 yrs ago, but no where near enough.
Open Financial Challenges
Husband and I have twice gotten into too much debt. 1st time managed w/savings and family help. This time it's up to us and our marriage is already cracking w/o this extra strain.
Treatments
- Budgeting Not Working
- Can't get husband to stay on budget. And besides these days even w/o any extra spending there's just not enough $ due to job losses.
- Debt Consolidation Working / Worked
- It made the debt manageable, but has only kept the amount steady. We haven't been able to pay it down due to job loss.
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- I'm working a part time temp job, which helps a little. It's just not enough to make a dent in the debt. It does help with making ends meet though.
- Holding a Garage Sale Considering
Open Anxiety
I've been realizing that a lot of things I just thought were depression over the year, was also anxiety. And since my 2nd son was born my anxiety is EXTREME and i'm having a really hard time dealing with even the little things.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Too Soon to Tell
- Breathwork Too Soon to Tell
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Massage Somewhat Helpful
- Helps to deal with all the muscle tension. Of course it doesnt prevent it. But feeling physically more relaxed even for a short while helps me be more away of anxiety building up.
Open Codependency
just starting to realize I may be codependent
Open Food Addiction
