    • About Me

      I'm a very introspective, emotional, and compasionate woman who struggles with the complexity of life. I am just now at age 30 beginning to address the issues of grief that I have surrounding my mother's schizphrenia and her not being there for me. I also was sexually abused and struggle with healing and trusting men. I am trying to find my meaning in the world and hope that one day I will know my purpose. Currently I am finishing up my master's degree.

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I was abused from the ages of 9-12 by my maternal grandfather. I lived in a very chaotic home where my mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was 9. Consequently all our family members thought she was weird and did not offer any support. I feel I grew up alone and struggle now with relationships because I feel I did not get the support I needed as a child. I feel that growing up I did not learn basic social skills or basic tasks.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      I was on it for about two weeks. The first week was ok, but the second week I felt like I was buzzing or had too much to drink. I couldn't push through the side effects.
      Supportive Care Working / Worked
      The best thing for me is when I find someone who is validating and can tell me this stuff really happened to you.
