    • About Me

      I am a Mom, Wife, Daughter, Friend, Person. I live with Bipolar, General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, Borderline Personality Disorder, Fibromyalgia, B-12 defincency, Low Thyroid, Insomnia, IBS, Migrains. I am also the wife that deals with my husband being in the National Gaurd. He is new to the system so I am still learning. My Son is 14 and Lives with being ADHD w/Conduct Disorder. My Daughter is 3 and simply a joy... tad bossy but a joy none the less. I was recently Dx'ed with OCD on top of evertying else. While this is frustrating to have yet anoughter problem it actually is a releif to as it adds to the understanding of who I am. I am struggling to define who I am not the things that define me. I guess I have finally started on the never ending quest....

      I am struggling to redefine what it is I enjoy doing. Since my major breakdown in August, I have found little joy or ability to function in the tasks I use to love and find joy in. I enjoy my 3 cats. I play online computer games when I can focus long enough to do so. I like to cross stich.I appriciate the friend I have made on DS in real life. She is a gem. I had the profile named Kaylebug but have log in issues so I am on a new profile.
