    • About Me

      I am updating my profile about me. Now, I'm 39, left my wonderful home on my b-day and am now in Decatur, IN, where I was born, with my dad. At this time, I've been here almost 4 months. I love my boyfriend very much and will never lose that. I have been diagnosed w/depression, anxiety, and last year, Bipolar 2. I am REALLY trying to cope and find myself.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have been off & on Lexapro, wellbutrin, bu-spar, Effexor, but can't find one right for me. I'm also depressed and just don't know how to deal sometimes. maybe I'm just messing my meds up, maybe I'm incurable! I got an IUD (5 year) in 3 yrs. ago and believe some of it is that, not had much luck w/the b-c and my moods.

    • Close Anger Management

      I have such rage that comes out when I've had ENOUGH! I hold in alot, but will see red and explode and the thoughts I get sometimes are evil and need tamed. I can go off at the drop of a hat, at times. I honestly believe there is something wrong with me that contributed to my feelings today. I don't like the way I feel sometimes. I want to hurt those who have hurt me, maybe just by words, but those words are evil at times. Can you help me?
