    • About Me

      I do love a good joke but carry an unimpressed view of society around with me. Sarcasm is my favorite flavor of tea. I fight myself daily about the place in which I live versus the planet I always thought I would end up on. There is a muted passion raging beneath calm waters. I am Protestant, but more spiritual than religious - God and I have an understanding.

    • Interests

      I loathe television and love literature. A deep-woods camping trip never fails to cleanse me. The quiet corner of a coffee shop or shadowed bar, with a journal, is my favorite haven. I thrive amidst the complexity of a philosophical debate. People fascinate me and disappoint me. I am loyal to a fault.

      It has recently occurred to me that the concept of true love will never again hold the same flame of faith in me.

    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      My story is that I've had it my whole life and was only diagnosed in my twenties. It was always just a humorous reason to be teased in real life. Can't get my house clean enough, with everything in its appropriate place, to save my life! Now with a child, I am working hard to curb it before it affects the blissfulness of his childhood!

      Treatments

      Paxil Not Working
      tried it for 2 months -gave me migraines and insomnia.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Together with ADD, sleep was just not something I have ever been able to do, but this stuff kicked my ass! I could not wake up, could not shake it off, could not function. Thanks, but no thanks...
    • Close Military Families

      My Grandfather is a WWII Veteran and my brother wanted to be in the Navy since he was toddling.He graduated from the Naval Academy,went to Pensacola flight school and finally decided on Legistics & is a Major for the Marine Corps.He served in Kuwait, has been to Iraq twice, and is going back this coming May.We are so proud that only tears speak adequately...but he has changed & estranged himself from us over the last several years. We don't understand and it has hurt us.

    • Open Alcoholism

      Well.. I don't have an alcoholic gene in my whole family, but I married a man who comes from a LONG line of them. He "has it under control" but as a person looking from the outside, in, it seems he could do a little better. My best friend has been sober for 15 months. So it would seem that I have inadvertently surrounded myself with alcoholics and only recently realized how damn hard I've been working to live with them!

    • Open ADHD / ADD

      Had it my whole life. My parents are teachers and suspected.I was skeptical and somewhat against the idea of medication. But as an adult I was finally diagnosed and remain (very responsibly, as any ADD person would be) on my medication, which has improved my life. Focus is a force underestimated by many people, but not me.

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      Changed how I lived my life. I stay on my original prescription mg. and have productive days.
      Strattera Somewhat Helpful
      made me carsick. nausea. dizzy spells.wasn't worth it.
    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      Officially reached Toddlerhood and having a blast! He's vivacious, healthy, funny and alert. It's hard to keep up, but I'm really enjoying watching him learn! I couldn't be prouder, or more scared to death....

    • Open Codependency

      My husband is an alcoholic but I had no idea how detrimental that would be to a perfect marriage. He is my best friend, my soul mate and the love of my life... but loving him has become heart-wrenching as I watch him spiral into the depths of addiction and become disinterested in me and his 13 month old son. I believe he is falling out of love with us.
