    • About Me

      I suffer from a variety of mental issues and problems. Most of them stem from feeling unloved in my family, rape, and miscarriage. I have recently found a good support system in a very unlikely place. I find solace and love in a co-worker that I actually met in college. She keeps me level and helps me to pursue the help I need. I was adopted and when my parents adopted me they were told I might suffer from depression that is if it's genetic. Well they thought that with enough love and support that wouldn't happen. Well if you have seen my support groups you know that's not true. Oh well I am dealing with it in my own ways and getting help and venting are some of those ways. I love to meet new people and hear there stories so feel free to contact me.

    • Interests

      I work for an attorney's office and I love the law. I feel like if I am apart of the legal system I can help make a difference and help others to not go through what I have. I have a fairly big family and it's about to grow because I am getting married and will be gaining a whole 'nother family. On top of that not that long ago I found my birthfather so it's nice to have so much family. I am passionate about helping others and sharing my story to be there for others.

    • Close Self-Injury

      I was raped when I was 15 years old the person that raped me also abused me and raped me other multiple times. I became pregnant and miscarried. I did this all on my own because I was scared to tell my family what was happening. During this time I would hurt myself to control what was going on around me. There were few times I would cut but mostly I would kick the bed rail to cause bruising and or breaks. Slam my fist onto the wall, kick something, or hit myself with a hammer.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      It worked however my counselors/ therapist always seemed to say something that offended me. I in effect would stop going because I already felt bad for what I did I didn't need someone else to make me feel bad. What I really needed was someone to help me stop!
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      When I vent about what I do it helps somewhat. Most the time I am scared of who I can talk to because I am scared of being judged.
    • Close Anxiety

      I suffer from severe anxiety. I have had multiple anxiety attacks in many public places and it makes me scared to go anywhere. I have not yet had to be hospitalized but it has come close.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      My fiance helps me with breathing exercises when I start to feel anxious it helps but only if he gets to me before I go into "the other world" of anxiety.
      Zoloft Not Working
      I was on Zoloft and it didn't work for me!
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I suffer from severe Bi-Polar disorder and have since I was younger. I have tried to treat it with medication and I hated who I became so now I am treating it without. It's a daily struggle and I am glad I found this website.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      Cymbalta didnt seem to work for me. In fact it had the opposite effect of what it was supposed to. It is supposed to help also with the aches and pains of depression and it in fact made it worse.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I suffer from depression and have since I was younger. Mine is believed to be genetic as well as nurtured through life circumstances. My father is a manic depressive and also has schiz. he has been hospitalized through most of his life. In fact when I was born I was put up for adoption because my mother was deemed unfit by the government and my father was also deemed so because when they finally found him he had to be admitted.

    • Open Endometriosis

      I suffer from endometriosis as a result of a miscarriage I had when I was raped. I can't get a doctor to diagnose me with it and they all tell me it is in my mind.

    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia 4 years ago.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Its a daily struggle but I can keep it under control most of the time
    • Open Miscarriage

      I miscarried when I was 16 years old with a child that was conceived through rape. I didn't tell anyone and actually miscarried in my bathtub by myself.

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      I still struggle every day with it.
      Tattoos Working / Worked
      I got a tattoo of 2 baby feet on my lower left part of my tummy. It helps because I dont feel like I have to think about it everyday. I used to because I was afraid I would forget my baby. Now I dont ALWAYS have to think about it but when I do I just have to look at my belly.

    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      I am in the process of marrying into a family that abuses alchohol. It scares me everyday b/c I came from a family that doesn't drink. I love my fiance more than anything yet he doesn't understand why I don't approve of it or why it makes me uncomfortable! He grew up around it so he doesn't see how it affects others.
