About Me
I am a single parent (again) of two boys (8 & 5 years). I love being there for them and they are my heart. I am just getting out of a really great/amazing relationship that somehow went away. (He wants to start over in another town, then see about dating each other again.) I also suffer from depression/anxiety, haven't quite finished a divorce from 4 years ago, eating disorders and sleep disorders. Wouldn't other sites be great if their flaws were displayed over their profiles instead of meaningless traits?

Interests
drawing, painting, stretching, doodling and scribbling, getting involved with my sons and helping them through all this, being anywhere that has water (swimming, wading, puddle jumping, etc.). I just became addicted to this website. I am psuedo-bilingual (English & ASL, not Deaf but Deaf friendly). I am incredubly eclectic and non-traditional in almost every facet of my life... although, I like that about me ; )

Hug
Hi sweetie, I haven't heard from you in a while and hope all is well with you. I live in Oregon too. I live in a little town called North Plains. Things are going ok here. I just found out that I have little tumors in my nose and will find out Tue what they are going to do about it. My little bird laid two eggs the other day and I freaked out. I don't know how to take care of one baby bird let alone to. I then found out that they can lay sterile eggs and to get rid of them after a few days. I fel bad about taking them away since she keeps sitting on them expectingthem to hatch. She is so protective and cute wth the eggs. Anyway, I thought that story might make you smile. I hope you take care and write oon and let me know you are ok. Sincerely, Michelle
Flower
just because you deserve flowers!!

Close Breakups & Divorce
I am starting a divorce procedure from an absentee husband of 4 years now. I also just lost a subsequent relationship. This one hurt the most because this relationship meant more to me and our split came as a surprise.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- Didn;t work for the marriage and not a consideration on his part. I tried
- Family Therapy Not Working
- Neither were willing enough to try it. I went, it just showed me that I still was the only one willing to help us.
- Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
- I go back and forth on this one. It helps for my impending divorce. Not so much with the recent loss
- Leave Somewhat Helpful
- Its a great stress reliever. I can feel great for a few moments. Last time lasted for days-- I was with my bestest friend
- Love Working / Worked
- I am surrounding myself with the love of my sons, my family and dearest friends. It gives me strength and hope. Not romantic love though. Having a hard time with allowing myself that one. Too soon.
- Music Working / Worked
- It helps feel my feelings. I can express myself through singing sad songs or angry songs. Music gives me words and helps me feel that someone has been through this before
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- At least they are a warm body at night and don't reject me (at least if I have the control over the food)
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- !!! The best help!!! I can talk in a nonjudgmental environment. I can get honest, nonbiased feedback that I can't with my friends and family.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- Humor has been the best literary help for me. I try optomism books, but find them condesending sometimes.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- They are my rock, my support, my crutch. They love me and can remind me that I am still amazing and wonderful.
- Support Groups Considering
- That is why I am here!
- Talking Working / Worked
- !!! Sometimes I need to get out the bad words and then feel better afterwards. I can also bounce ideas off friends and family get validation
- Time Too Soon to Tell
- I still hurt, some days are great others are still debilitating. Getting more good than bad. I spend less time crying now-- only when I talk to him or share anything of me with him; then, it kills me again
Close Eating Disorders
I have suffered from a spectrum of e.d. I have a lot of anorexia as a teen and then turned to closet eating. Later I went to bindging. I have a pretty good handle on it now. It is a struggle everyday.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been struggling with depression since can remember. I come from a long lineage of depressed personalities. I have been diagnosed as everything from generalized to situational as well having post partum depression with my first son and post partum psychosis with my second.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- There are some amazing "tools" in CBT that I would love to share with every person who has ever had any problem.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- HALLELUJAH!!! It is my favorite; it also helps with my anxiety. I have yet to find one that works so well. My side effects were minimal and have a better time managing my weight issues (DOES NOT WORK AS A DIET!!! It just helped me get motivated enough to do the work myself.)
- Meditation Too Soon to Tell
- I have been using it for some sleep pattern issues.
- Paxil Not Working
- Zip
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- ***long raspberry sounds*** It's like giving a tic tac to post-op amputee for the pain.
- Prozac Not Working
- Nada
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- sigh, I love therapy. I get to talk and talk and talk and not be judged. Its nice to get nonbias opinions as well
- Seroquel Not Working
- I used it for sleep; but it gave me weird sleep distubances-- my disorder was fine enough
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- My family is my heart and my closest friends are my soul. I would NOT get through anything I am going through right now without them.
- Trazodone Too Soon to Tell
- I use it for sleep disorders.
- Zoloft Not Working
- It was my first. I was 15; that was before they realized that it causes suicide rates to soar in teens.
- Stretching Working / Worked
- I am a far cry from a health nut but just moving my body parts helps. It loosens my joints and I feel alot less like the tin man. I feel that I can breathe again too. It also helps to trim my curves winkwink
Open Anxiety
Along with depression I have the added gift of anxiety as well. Since I was very young I can remember and I have seen it in my oldest son.
Treatments
- Breathwork Not Working
- HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! If only it really were this easy. I teach it to my son, though
- Hypnotherapy Considering
- I have always wondered if I was a suseptible mind or not.
- Klonopin Not Working
- I tried thisd more for sleep concerns. It made me fainty the next day.
- Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
- I use it for sleeping purposes... obviously it doesn't help cuz I am up past midenight.
- Valium Somewhat Helpful
- I would enjoy this as well.
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- I love tranquilizers... setagives. Alas, I can only get them on the few and far between... sigh
- Zoloft Not Working
- This was my first antidepressant 16 yeras ago. They didn't know then that it causes suicide in teens-- jeepers, ya thnk?
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- I have found that this is the best of my tools. I dont need to be told I am being irrational from a therapist... I need action to stop doing it.
Open GERD & Heartburn
My 5yo son has been diagnosed with GERD. Its still residual preemie stuff. Getting worse before better, though.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- He hates it and we seem to add a new food every other day.
- Tagamet Working / Worked
- It helps immensly especially if he gets a hold of a no-no food. Its not healing anything though
Open Single Parenting
Single mom-again! My sons' dad walked out on us and I had a boyfriend that almost their stepdad walk out more recently.
