About Me
Hello to all! I am a 24 year old student that after many ups and downs and discrimmination from programs am hopefully (fingers crossed) getting certified to be a high school biology teacher. I have had partial complex epilepsy since I was 5 years old. My seizures, despite all efforts, are still not controlled. I am a care-giver type personality that loves getting to know everyone and usually very optimistic and bubbly (my housemates called me a "warm fuzzy").I have a very supportive family (including my dog, Bruce!)and love them all to pieces.I have an incredible husband that has been through these things with me, and despite it all has not left my side. He is my high school sweetheart and we have been together for 8 years come Sept. 2010 !!!

Interests
I love biology, but in particular Aquatic science. My all-time favorite wild animal is the killer whale. I listen to all types of music. I am all around artsy, play clarinet, enjoy plays, and LOVE musicals. I have been to Wicked, Chicago, and the Lion King, and would love to see Rent and Hairspray. I am a dog person, and hope to have a safe haven for rescued animals someday. I love hanging out with my friends and fam, dancing, road trips, coffee...the list goes on :-) I would love to be ur friend and support-buddy!!

I'm sorry you got kicked out of the CNA program. Isn't that discrimination though? What type of seizures do you have? I know how you feel...I'm so sorry. You should talk to your Dr about all of this and that you're not happy with the results of your meds and tell him/her what has happened. Ask about a VNS Vagus Nerve Stimulator. It really helped me...

Open Healthy Relationships
Long term long distance relationship...I got engaged to my fiance when I was 18, and wanted to wait until out of school to get married. Well, I am not settled down yet because I am now in grad school, and he is finishing school and realized work up where I am will be nearly impossible to find. Now we are afraid we will be in long distance relationship for FOUR more years or so...it is so emotionally draining for me at times :-(
Treatments
Open Depression
I basically compare myself to others all of the time, and sometimes feel like I am not up to par with my peers. I blame myself easily for things and make other people's problems my own...and have panic attacks/test anxiety too! Overall, I need confidence and more faith in myself!!!
Treatments

I am not a smoker, but really need some support right now because of what my mom is going through...hoping to find it here. Lost a grandma to lung cancer, and all of my family but my brother/youngsters smoke...scared about my mom's health...
