      Mother Nature captivates me - my pictures are mostly of National Parks, etc. that I have visited. Love being involved with church and life groups. Spending time with family and friends. Love outdoors, camping, motorcycling, hiking, playing with the kids. Poetry (reading & writing), books, (reading & writing), music (listening & singing in church!), watching NFL (go Broncos), and NCAA (go Badgers).

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've been struggling with depression & anxiety most of my life. Have been on the roller coaster of ups & downs lately & looking for support.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      not sure we have the levels right yet
      Meditation Too Soon to Tell
      Just started - saying my prayers
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      It works when you can remind yourself to do it, but "stinkin thinkin" is a very hard habit to break!
      Prayer Working / Worked
      God is glorious
      Prozac Not Working
      didn't work
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      works as long as you are involved, but once it ends and your on your own!?!?
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      helped with nightmares & hence the sleeping, but not the depression
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Nothing better than your family & friends, but if they haven't experienced true depression, etc. it's hard sometimes to share it with them
      Writing Working / Worked
      when depression or anxiety & panic strike, I am glued to my laptop, or have pen & paper in hand constantly! Great stress reliever!
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful

      Treatments

      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Not Working
      didn't help at all
      Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
      Worked great - no more pain since. Didn't help the depression though; even though I was not planning any more kids, the realization that you CAN'T have any more is sometimes hard to think about.
    • Open Hysterectomy

      Had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis at age 33. Pain free for 5 years now, but the thought of NEVER having another baby (mine is 13 now) sometimes gets me depressed.

      Treatments

      seems to work okay, but hard to tell sometimes because of my depression & anxiety disorder. It did stop the hot flashes though - thank god for that.
