    • About Me

      nothing. I am nothing. no thing. nuttin'. worthless, useless, lonely. so damn lonely. and it hurts so much that i will push you away if you come near me, because you will end up running away anyway. so why bother any more. life sucks.

    • Interests

      I used to have interests like working in or going to the theater, going out with friends, laughing, reading. Right now my only interest is sleeping as much as possible and crying, which I am really good at. If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow Why oh why can't I?

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      My depression is my shadow, but when I walk in happy sunlight, somehow it disappears. I am getting better and stronger every day. For 2 years I lived in the bowels of hell, and I am truly grateful for my progressive recovery.

    • Close Panic Attacks

      Panic attacks....my constant shadow...always right behind me...never know when the are going to pop out and say "BOO"....I hate them so much, and I refuse to take the meds for them because it throws me into a 3 day depression.....

      Treatments

      Been about a year with the same therapist...really love her...No more agoraphobia, sort of. I mean like today Nov. 22, 2009, I didn't leave my apt. once...can't face going out when this panicky, but normally I am okay.
      Seroquel Not Working
      Didn't work, caused major panic.

      Use to work, then they decided people were getting addicted, so they switched me to Klonopin.
    • Open Loneliness

      I am a 52 year old woman going through the most lonely time of my life. I never married, and only relatives are two sisters and their families. Due to my current depression (really bad) and panic disorder, I have lost (they have left me, actually) all my friends. I am on Disability and am not working. I feel like the lonliest person on the planet.

    • Open Obesity

      I am morbidly obese and I hate the fact that I am soooo addicted to food and can't give it up. I hate myself and the way I look and the way others look at me. I know I am a well educated person with a great personality, and I am going to give this one more try, starting tomorrow (1/28/09)as I have seen a dietetian and going to try again. BTW, I have lost and gained over 100 pounds several, SEVERAL times in my life, but always gain it all back quickly. I have this sick relationship with food.
