About Me
I am generally a fun-loving, sweet, person who has always wanted to make others happy. I've learned that I have to make myself happy before I can truly make others happy, even if it's hard to do. I have a very close family, a good sense of faith, and a wonderful group of friends who are understanding of my disorders. Animals are also a big part of my life, because they always do things that make you smile(and are always so adorable!) Since I've been sick, it's been hard to keep a job, I'm a professional Massage Therapist of 3 and 1/2 years, I have a deep passion for Massage, Bodywork, and Spa Therapies. Since I can't have a normal job, I'm recently unemployed but working on getting back into the swing of things and keeping some of my own clients on a new schedule. I also work for an insurance agent filing and organizing annuities and life insurance policies, as well as preparing mailings. Trying to keep busy so as to not get too upset with myself.

Interests
I love to sing! When I'm doing well I love spending time with my friends and going to Karaoke with them(I'm actually training to be a Karaoke DJ too!!) Baking is another one of my favorite hobbies, although my family isn't so fond of that because they're always on diets! :-/ he/he Cleaning is another thing I enjoy doing..but most people wouldn't consider that a hobby. I also enjoy taking pictures, they may not be the most artistic or creative, but I just love to capture the memories of the day/event. MOVIES are another one of my FAVORITE pastimes, especially romantic comedies and Disney movies. If you have any questions, just ask!

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder about a year and a half ago.Previous to that I had manic depression for approx. five years.This started about 7years ago because of the discovery of a brain tumor the size of a golf ball on my pituitary gland.After it was removed I continuously had/still have chronic cluster headaches and migraines,after awhile I wasn't able to participate in all the activities I loved to do, because I was always getting sick.Naturally depression kicked in over time.
