About Me
I am proud of and accept who I am. I believe in honesty and will not censor myself because others are afraid to speak the truth. And I will not allow someone else to make me feel bad and change who I am. I know that I deserve to be loved. ----"As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly. And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free."

Close Breakups & Divorce
After a nasty break-up in October of 2007, I hurt, I healed and now I am continuing on with my life as a happier, healthier, stronger person. I am thankful for that breakup because I learned that the person I thought I loved was never really there and that he was never good enough for me - I deserved better and I truly believe that I have found it.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- Forgiving someone who really hurt you is the best way to just be free of them. Forgiving does not mean forgetting and it certainly does not mean that everything that happened was acceptable. It just means that you have come to an understanding that someone did hurt you and that you are not going to hold a grudge; you are not going to let that person continue to hurt you and their actions no longer have an effect on how you life your life.
- Leave Working / Worked
- I went on a trip to Vegas with a friend and getting away from my reality for a few days really helped me to "reboot" and be in a better mental state when I got back. It's good to get away and get wrapped up in another environment for a bit.
- Pets Working / Worked
- My cat Evey has been a life saver. She's has been my reason for getting out of bed and kept me from crying myself to sleep many a time. Her unconditional love has really helped me get through my break up. I can't imagine the sadness and emptiness I'd be experiencing if she weren't in my life. She's been my little life line.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Talking about my situation with friends who have been through the same and family who care about and support me in my effort to move on has been a great way to deal with and work through my feelings or sadness and anger over what my x did.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Joining DS was the best decision I made. I know I wouldn't be where I am now if I had not had such a great group here who provided me with the support and understanding that got me through each awful day.
Close HPV
I was diagnosed with HPV on my 24th birthday and I was terrified. My doctor told me that had I been more careful, this wouldn't have happened. !!! I had never HEARD of HPV - it's not something we discussed in sex ed. Not long after that rude encounter, I switched to a new OBG/YN who helped me understand that this was not my fault and educate me on the reality of how common it is and how to treat it.
Treatments
- Gardasil Working / Worked
- My doctor said that gardasil was worth it to keep me protected from the other strains.
