    • About Me

      I am a stay at home mom for now until my youngest goes to preschool this fall-I have two kids ages 4 and 13. I am also married to a very prominent figure in our town who has a very stressful career. Ive always worked in the medical field & will be going back to it. I have only been on meds for the last 2 years for my manic-ness and tho that needed to be controlled, I still take from it (my bi-polar) and utilize it in my daily life. I am very involved in my community, with my emergency services, my church and girl scouts.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I have had 3 bouts of Trich in my life- being now the 3rd and worst Ive encountered. I am 35 years old mother & wife. I am looking for help with this. I am currently under doctors care. I pull from the crown area of my scalp- after these last 3 years of intense trich- I am now starting to have major damage & thinning/balding areas which I cover with mascara and combing it differently ( to the side & over top. even putting it in a pony tail doesnt help anymore since I started in front too.

      Treatments

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have usually embraced my bi-polar, for it helped me through alot of effort filled times in my life. but at now 35, I have found in the last few years it has gotton worse. before meds, I was to manic to talk coherently and on subject & my mood swings were out of control. I am still trying to mantain a low dosage on any anti depressants because my first doctor snowed me on them.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      200 millagrams- found this med to be very helpful in my mood fluctuations and am able to not overreact to situations and stress.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      a low dosage of 5 millagrams
