About Me
I'm a 42 year old mom of 2 wonderful sons. I'm a Christian and I have a great husband. I've enjoyed every minute of raising my boys and they have been the greatest joy of my life. I always promised myself that when I had children that they would get to be "children". I wanted more than anything for them to have a wonderful childhood with great memories and to love their home. My oldest is a Marine and has served 1 tour in Iraq so far. His choice to join the Marines was quite a suprise to me and has been so hard for me. He loves what he does and I guess I couldn't ask for more. I am very proud of him. My youngest is a Senior in highschool and hasn't decided what he wants to do yet. He's such a compassionate and carefree young man. He loves life and he has a smile that lights up the room when he walks in. Despite having so many wonderful things in my life, I've suffered with depression for about 10 years now. The panic attacks started about a year ago and have totally turned my world upside down. I have good days, but it seems as though most days are a struggle. I am determined to beat this thing that has tried to take over my life!

Close Panic Attacks
I'm a 41 yr old mom of 2 wonderful sons and have a loving husband. I couldn't ask for a better life except that I've suffered with depression for about 10 yrs and have recently started having panic attacks - 2 that have sent me to the ER. Those were the most horrifying experiences of my life. How can you be so sure you are about to die only to be told there's nothing wrong?I have had many others but I'm on meds now and I'm slowly learning to control the attacks before they become full blown.

Open Female Sexual Issues
I'm a 42 year old mom of 2 wonderful sons, who are now 22 & 18. Despite the fact that I've had so many wonderful things in my life, I have suffered with depression for about 10 years now, and I started having panic attacks about a year and a half ago. Our family has endured some very tragic events over the last 2 years, and we were knocked off our feet yet again because of a close family member being charged with a horrible crime.
