    • About Me

      I am a student at UCSB, but am taking my last class at UCLA. WOO HOO!!!! Graduating a year ealry.... well not really woo hoo. I wanted to do 5 yrs, but stupid cal grant got cut off. I'm an only child. I'm pretty shy...wallflower (social events make me nervous and anxious). I have an small group of close friends and a bunch of acquaintances (you know, hi and bye people). I'm a living contradiction too...ie: I can be super negative, yet I can give people positive points of view. I think I'm bi-polar (since I can be totally positive now and in 2 seconds I'm back to negative). I'm a super loyal and caring friend, but I have a hard time making friends in the first place. Ugh...like I said...TOO shy.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      This usually is me just going to the track and walking, or jogging, but it's me so it's mostly walking. lol. Lazy ass!
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Just started REALLY implementing this. When I feel a bad thought coming I force myself to see things from a different perspective. It's helped so far.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      Don't know yet. I asked her if we could do interpersonal and cognitive therapy...I heard that with the meds has a high working result. We'll see how it goes
      Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
      I honestly don't know yet. It's 150mg and it's the XL so only once a day-good cuz I'd 4get-
      Writing Working / Worked
      From middle school to the 3rd year of hs I wrote poetry when I was down. Now I keep a journal
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      So....I am now diagnosed with depression and cyclothymia. I guess it's a milder form of bipolar(?) That's what the doc said. Trying to fit in some reading on it, but it's kinda hard with the stuff I have to read at school (supposed to read). Umm...On medication and talking to a psychologist. All of this is new to me...we'll see what happens.

      Treatments

      Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
      I feel like it's working, I think...but I have to go see the doc again to see what's up
    • Open College Stress

      I'm the kid that's always playing catch up yet never seems to accomplish it. Social life sucks...to say the truth I feel like "Rick James is gonna have to slap a b***h!". Don't know what I'm going to do after college. lol. Pfft! I don't even know what to do even now that I'm in it.

    • Open Stress Management

      I'll hold things in and try to get by, but I blow in a panic fit. I do that for the smallest things too. I think it's just an accumulation of small things. Problem is I might mope around or blow up on people. Really don't want t blow on those who I care about just because I'm stressin.

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      Been in a relationship for five years (6 this Septemberr) but we're always on and off the rocks. I really think he's the one (and he thinks the same of me) so I really want to learn to deal with things better so we can stay off the rocks as much as possible

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      When we know the other is in a bad mood, we try to calm down, sympathize and be there...even if we're a bit ticked off. It works most of the time....but it's hard when you're short tempered
      Talking Working / Worked
      We'll talk about things when they're bothering us and we think it can lead into a big argument if we don't resolve it or atleast put the idea out there. 'Tis workin so far, but of course, nothin is perfect.
    • Open Obesity

      What can I say. I wake up everymorning to see the same chick in the mirror- thar freakin fat-ass

    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Improve overall fitness

      High. I'm only 10 lbs away from obesity according to the body mass chart. I really need to lose the gut, the hard part is I have little will power to say no to those goodies and yes to the exercise. Here I am to start improving my health

    • Open Family Issues

      Let's just say I have daddy issues.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      If it's happy, I feel happy too. Helps me calm down and not yell or cry when I think about the family problems.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      My psychologist seems to want to talk about dad pretty soon....ugh!
      Talking Working / Worked
      Too bad I haven't done it with the one I have most problems with-dad. It works great with my mom though.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      Recently left this nice guy who's insecurity ruined everything. I should be happy to be free from that, but here I am being depressed.

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Not Working
      Tried couples therapy to work out the relationship. We stopped going because he felt the guy was only aiming at him....I wonder why (sarcasm)
      Leave Too Soon to Tell
      I've left him 4 times. He didn't really change when I came back, so I'm trying to make this 4th time the last time I leave.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      I have to get away from depressing songs. I Have a 'get over him' playlist where it's just songs that remind me of why I left and/or how I'm strong/
      Reading Too Soon to Tell
      I can't stay focused on any book for now...but I know that when I find one that captures me- I will be sucked into that world.
      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I talk to my friends and mom about it. I also keep a diary. Sometimes it helps, other times I feel worse or sometimes I just want them to shut up and not mention him at all. I feel sorry for them- plus- I don't feel like I can be open with them. I don't know why
      Time Somewhat Helpful
      It's helping some....but it still hurts and the sadness and pain sneak attack sometimes.
