About Me
I'm 28, and I live at home with my wonderful (and sexy accented English) husband, my brilliant seven year old daughter, my mutt dog, and our four (yes four) cats. I'm blessed to have them in my life - they bring me so much happiness in otherwise dark times. I'm suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia, which has also brought on a nasty depression.

Interests
I used to spend a lot of time on the computer playing online games, but recently kicked that habit. I love quilting, sewing, herbalism, candle making, jewelry making, scrapbooking, ummmm think that's it - basically having all this down time has unleashed my creative side :)

Support Groups
Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since October 2006. It has truly ruined my life. Every time I start to feel almost normal - wham, I'm flat on my back and barely have the strength to get out of bed again. It makes my relationship with my husband rough, and I can't do as much as I would like with my seven year old daughter.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Just went up to 60 mg a day. It does help with the depression, but not really with the pain or energy level.
Close Fibromyalgia
I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and quite frankly am having a rough time coping with a new diagnosis.
Treatments
Open Anxiety
Right now I'm going through a really stressful time. When it rains, it pours they say. I've been having anxiety attacks frequently for the last several months, I used to be able to control them through meditation, but have recently lost that control.
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- Have only been taking for a couple weeks, and only when I feel an anxiety attack coming on. Seems to calm me down some.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionMy CFS brought about depression. I have felt pretty useless a lot, I used to work and make a decent living at my bank job. Now I can't work. I can't clean my house.....some days I can't get out of my bed.
Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- It didn't seem to really do anything for me.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Has worked nicely for me for about 9 months now.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- When I can focus my mind, it works very well.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- It did work well for about six months, then stopped working for me.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I have just started counseling, so we'll see how it goes.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Was an awful, awful drug for me. Made me very nauseous, dizzy and had horrible headaches. Was taken off of it after three weeks.
Open Self-Injury
I have had two suicide attempts, one in August of 2008. and one in early December of 2008. The first I took a whole bottle of Cymbalta, and the second I took a whole bottle of Ambien. It was a rough road between attempts, and I was, well pretty much dead on the inside is a pretty accurate way to describe it. Since the second one, it really woke me up, and scared me. I don't know what drove me to do the second attempt. I just...did it. I've been doing much better since then.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Considering
- I am going to be going to a group in February about Congnitive Behavrioral Therapy.
- Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
- I was in a three week intensive outpatient program after my first attempt, and it did teach me some useful skills, but I didn't really use them at the time. I am however going back over the material and using them now.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- After the second attempt, I really opened up to my therapist, and it has really been helping me.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I am talking to family, friends, my therapist, anybody who will listen to me. It's really helping, and complete honesty about my feelings and what I have done is key here.
