    • About Me

      I have just entered my 24th year. I live alone with my dog, Rubies, the best-in-the-west chihuahua. I am currently working as a coffee barista (which I like) but really despise my boss. I love reading. I love the cinema. In short, I enjoy suspending my own reality and remaining locked in fantasy. I recently was forced out of my University for being unable to pay for the semester, yet I remain purposely active in keeping my cognitive talents agitated so as not to go completely bananas by voraciously reading and writing.

    • Interests

      I have already noted that reading is my stimulant of choice. I love bike riding but for those bike enthusiasts out there, I am more of a coster rather than peddler, hence my owning of a cruiser (I also lack the bike shorts that would really set the persona in place). I enjoy writing yet have been on hiatus for the past four years. I have recently taken up journal writing however and my writing inclinations have once again flared up. My most thorough devotion however is for my dog, Rubies, my small mercy in this life who manages to make a small chuckle take place in my belly at least once a day.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I have been suffering from an eating disorder for over 10 years. I phase in and out of periods concentrated on starving then moving into compulsive binge and purge cycles.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I truly admire my therapist and her ability to keep up with my fluid and often discursive discussions each week. She intensely wishes for me to be well and I do appreciate her authenticity towards my healing.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have bipolar I and I often sense my sanity slipping all over the place. I am exhausted by my condition and the maintenance of remaining functional. I am thrilled to find an entire community proactive about their illness and willing to not only offer support but to openly discuss their own obtrusive and destructive emotions.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
      (fingers crossed). The initial few weeks I did suffer from an unusual abundance of suicidal thoughts. Yet I was also going through a life change and am not sure if these little pills caused my suicidal thoughts or just the rotten experience of being a human in this world.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      This drug truly knocks me out! I can sleep about 18 hours after one of this little rubies so be careful.
