    • About Me

      I am an aspiring singer. I am also a very caring person. I am there for anyone who needs someone to talk to. If you need someone to comfort you while your sad, I'll cry with you.. I am very emotional. I can't watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition without crying through out it. I love the show but I just cry LOL. I live at home with my mom. We've been through quite a lot. On October 25, 2006 my dad passed away from metastatic lung cancer which spread through his body like wildfire. He was in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange and was deemed 100% service connected. Our 8 year old Irish Setter, Red died the same day as my dad. He died from forgive me for mispelling this hypertrophic cardiac myopothy or something similar to that spelling! In "normal" people's terms the one chamber of his heart didn't form properly at birth and he was a ticking time bomb from the moment he was born. Also on February 10th of 07, we had to have Thomasina my oldest cat put to sleep.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Depression has been a part of me my entire life. After my Dad passed away it got worse. He was my best friend and when he died it crushed me. I am doing fairly well now but I still have my days where I don't feel right.

      Treatments

      it's kinda working I take sixty mg of it. Meaning my psychiatrist prescribles me the 40 mg and the 20 mg

      I always try to have a positive attitude about life and everything. I am the eternal optimist.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I don't know if it helps me or not, i mean my therapist talks to me about other things sometimes so it's hard to tell. What she does for me, my Cats can do for me LOL
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My Mom and Grandma have been a great support and also my friends here where I live. I also have 4 cats two older ones and 2 kittens. The kittens just make me feel so wonderful. They're like an antidepressant themselves :)
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      I got put on this because I was doing well with the depression but I was still having anxiety issues so the doc put me on this.

He likes to sleep in my face at night which to me isn't very comfortable but he's happy LOL he makes me laugh. I'm so glad I have these kitties because they are my best friends on earth.

      I cry when I talk about my dad, and I was so close to him it hurts that he's not here anymore.
      Time Working / Worked
      I am seeing improvement with myself. It's been a year and 7 months since my dad passed away. I still miss him a lot but I feel like I can still live. Before I wanted nothing more than to join him. I wasn't suicidal or anything just I wished he could have taken me with him. I know I have a purpose in life but I have NO clue what it is. It just doesn't involve my Daddy anymore. He's always with me anyway
