About Me
37 year old stay at home mom to a beautiful daughter. Married for 6 years. I suffer from diabetes(T2) and depression and just was dx with Bi polar 2. I have about 100lbs to loose, and I struggle everyday with it. I know I need to loose it, but I just can't get motivated long enough to do something about it. I'll go to the gym or exercise maybe a week at the most and then I stop. It's nuts. I need Jullian from the Biggest Loser to be my next door neighbor. :0)

Support Groups
Close Diabetes Type 2
Family history of Type 2, my paternal grandfather died of complications. My dad and mom have T2 as well. I was dx in Aug 2008 and on Metformin (500mg 1x) and it's helping. But I need to learn how to eat and I need to loose this weight.
Treatments
- Byetta Too Soon to Tell
- Started last week. So far I like it, it helps me get control of my over eating so far. It can make me a little nauseous though. I'm on 5 mgs and then we will move up to 10 mg after a month. I thought injecting my self would be hard, but it's not.
- Metformin Working / Worked
- I've been on it for a year now and it really helps keep my sugars leveled out. I take 500 mgs once a day.
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- I need to get by butt up and moving. I know it works when I do it.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered from depression since adolescence & the older I got the worse I got. Now that I am older I can understand it better. I have been on & off medication since I was 20 (now 37). I can now accept that I have depression & I don't hide from it anymore. I feel you need to embrace it, & help yourself deal with this disease. Depression trails from a long line in my family, so for me I've realized it's not my fault. Some days are better than others.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Was on Paxil for 2yrs, and hated it. Now on Celexa and I fell like a person again. I've been on Celexa for a while now and it's not working as well as in the beginning.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- When you have a good therapist it helps so much.
- Paxil Somewhat Helpful
- It worked for a while, but something was never right. I just felt like I was going to blow at any moment, and then I did. I like the Celexa much better.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- When you can it helps, but it's hard when your depressed to think this was sometimes.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- see CBT
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Hated it.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- It helps get the feeling down when no one else will listen. And it helps with remembering what the problem was at the time, when looking back to reflect.
- Zoloft Not Working
- it worked OK for depression, but I couldn't orgasm. Who give a pill to a depressed person that causes them to not get aroused, come on.!!!!
Open Obesity
100 lbs overweight and just found out I have type 2 diabetes
Treatments
- Alli Working / Worked
- Not sure it works for me, but my aunt lost 45 pounds on it, and she looks great. I just hate the poop i have from it, and I have lost some rectal control.
- Jenny Craig Somewhat Helpful
- The food is so good, but so expensive. If your able to afford it, it's a good way to go. But if you need to save money just buy frozen WW dinners and you get the same results.
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
- I've been to a few meeting and I have to say for me it helped. It is comforting to know there are other people out there that can relate to you. It's a really good support group. I like the women only groups the best, it's like a room full of sisters.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I lost 50 of my 70 lbs I gained while pregnant by just exercising, but I stopped and gained it all back. JUST DO IT!!!!!
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- If your serious about it, it works well.
Open Female Sexual Issues
My husband won''t have sex with me, and when I do get him to I can't orgasm. Life sucks in this category.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I've been married for 6 years, and all of them have been not good. My husband asked for a divorce 6 months into it (2 weeks after I found out I was prego) and it's been crappy since. He doesn't find me attractive because I've gained weight and he says he's not "in love with me" It will probably end in divorce, but right now I'm just not sure about ending it. I am a stay at home mom, so I am unfortunately financially strapped to him.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- have been to 3 separate ones, the last one basically told up we need to get a divorce. (go figure)
- Family Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- I went by myself and it has helped
- Leave Not Working
- Was apart this summer for 2 months, and it didn't seem to help at all.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- The best book I read was The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce. I loved it.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- depends on who I talk to .
- Talking Working / Worked
- it works sometimes, sometimes it makes things worse.
Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)
My daughter is 5, and we all need as much help raising these kids as we can get. My daughter have Childhood Apraxia of Speech, so it gets difficult at time, because it's hard to understand her.
Treatments
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- Listening Working / Worked
- Patience Working / Worked
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I have PCOS and looking for help. Never really had a "normal" cycle. I had ovarian cysts but since having my daughter that seems better.
Treatments
- Metformin Working / Worked
- I am finally having regular periods for the first time, except after pregnancy and that only lasted for 6 months or so.
- Oral Contraceptives Somewhat Helpful
- helped with my periods, but also gave me really bad PMS too.
Open ADHD / ADD
I have ADD was dx at 18, but never really did anything about it, now I'm getting redx'd and ready to accept these demons :0)
Treatments
- Research Working / Worked
- Always helps to learn more about something you have.
- Ritalin Not Working
- Hated it.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Hated it.
Open Dyspraxia & Apraxia
My daughter has Childhood Apraxia of Speech. She was non verbal before 3 and then we got her in the public school system/speech therapy in Oct 2007 and she was talking by Dec. It was so awesome to finally hear my daughters voice now we can't get her to shut up LOL!!! The articulation still need some helps but with practice that will come. My niece also has it,. And my nephew has Autism and Developmental Dyspraxia (both kids are my husbands sisters children) so it's maybe genetic.
Treatments
- Speech Therapy Working / Worked
- It has helped so much.
Open Bipolar Disorder
I was dx'd with Bi Polar 2, and I need some support.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- I take it for depression, it helps somewhat.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I hated it.
