About Me
I've always had problems dealing with people's anger and I recently figured out why I'm like that. My parents have never been there for me emotionally, and I never had anyone I could really go to when I needed emotional support. They were emotionally and mentally abusive towards me growing up. I have so many issues as a result of the things they did, and are still doing. I came to DS a few years ago, and I plan to be around here so long as this site exists!

Interests
First and more importantly, I am a mom to a son with autism. He is my entire world!! I am also a wife, and I try my best to keep him happy and I'm learning more and more every day how to deal with his anger issues from a difficult childhood. We both have our problems, but we're working on them. I'm also a mommy to a very silly, hyper, sweet, funny, and cute furbaby kitty name Evil Bob. When nothing else goes right, I know he'll be there to snuggle with and will never judge me (so long as I keep his food bowl filled to the top!)

Sometimes our paths require different signs. You're still Melinda to me--unless you want me to call you by your new name. I'm thinking about making a big change in my life. I'm tired of sitting around waiting to get better from my MVA. I'm not going to get better so I just want to get on with my life. HUGS, sara

I'm so sorry your parents are giving you grief...... your poor son must be so confused.

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
Here for my son, BUT THE OTHERS IN THIS GROUP MAKE ME FEEL UNWELCOME HERE BECAUSE I KNOW VACCINES DID NOT CAUSE MY SON TO BE AUTISTIC. So, I cannot get the support I need here :-(
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Wheat gluten/casein free diet. Helps with his digestion, and his behavior is better.
- Behavior Management Working / Worked
- Working, but slowly...
- Occupational Therapy Working / Worked
- Wasn't working in Cleveland schools. Switched school districts when we moved, and he's made SO much improvement!
- Pets Working / Worked
- His cat gave him someone to play with =)
- Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
- Really has helped him with transitioning from one thing to the next.
- Speech Therapy Working / Worked
- The new school we put him in is GREAT! His language skills are where they should be now!
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- Started out giving him one B12 tablet a day and we saw some improvement. Then we started giving him 2 of them and 2 childrens vitamins a day that have iron in them most brands dont have iron. After we started that the improvement was amazing!!
Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
Going out in public is so scary for me. Once I just 'go for it' and do it, I feel better. I'm better than I used to be, but even just going in to pay for gas brings panic attacks.
Treatments
- Paxil Not Working
- This didnt work too well. It brought on depression and when I lost prescription coverage and had to suddenly stop taking it I went through severe withdrawal and got VERY sick.
Open Bullying
Don't even know where to begin, but this crud ruined everything about me and turned me into the most insecure and terrified woman you will ever meet.
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I didn't realize I left this group LOL Basically all the typical symptoms. One pregancy, one miscarriage. Years of trying for another baby.
Treatments
- Oral Contraceptives Not Working
- Made my symptoms WORSE after I stopped taking them.
Open Family Issues
*sigh*
