    • About Me

      Ditzy, girly girl, reclusive, stubborn, loving grad student @ UC Davis c/o 2009. Overall, I am very intellectual, yet suffer from ridiculously silly/cornball personality spurts. =) In addition, I suffer from social anxiety (depending upon circumstance) .For some reason I can give a lecture in front of thousands, but suffer from anxiety attacks in bars and at Target. ?? umm. go figure. It's difficult for me to date guys because I am so insecure. Darn. I wonder if I will be single forever..surrounded by Chihauhau's and college degrees. oh no. ??

      Hi K! Well I was in a similar situation like yours for almost two weeks. Singles blues was my issue. My mind is still tired from the past couple of weeks, the worst seems to be behind me. Slowly I'm feeling better and getting much needed rest too!! Hows life treating you? Stay blessed! xoxo

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      My dad passed away over a month ago, quite suddenly (health reasons). Rt now I'm between a state of denial + depression. I've seen others lose close family members, but this had been something that happened to "others" not me. My mom, dad, sis + I were the 'leave it to beaver' family of which other family members respected. I feel so empty inside now. To make matters worse, I'm in the process of completing my PH.D, + was diagnosed with high anxiety (prior to my dad's passing)

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      This medication made me feel very lethargic when taken during the AM hours prior to beginning my day. I now take the meds just before bedtime (per request of my physician). I feel fabulous now. Although there are times when the inability to cry leave me feeling monstrous. seriously. =/
    • Close Anxiety

      I have suffered from social anxiety for as long as I can remember...dates back to kindergarten. Over the years I have developed the remarkable ability to mask the anxiety for the sake of appearing 'normal' to the general public...little do they know I'm dying inside. I seriously want to live a normal life. I feel as though I have built a prison for myself..and with each passing year, i'm like "oh Sh&t" I'd better snap out of this NOW before I wake up and I'm 50 years old...=/

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My dad passed away June 1, 2008 following a brain stem stroke. I have been amazingly strong beyond understanding,but I have many moments of spontaneous melt down and extreme grief. I feel like I'm in the twightlight zone and really depressed. I can't believe my Dad is gone...I just can't believe it. My mom, dad, sis and I were like that perfect little leave it to beaver family...nothing terrible ever happened. While I am a strong Christian of Faith, my heart aches uncontrollably=(
