About Me
I'm 17, almost 18 and I start college this fall. I am a recovering alcoholic, in recovery since May 1st 2007. I am in a committed relationship with my partner Jamie and have been for over two years. I try my best to be a positive and giving person but life has thrown me some tough curves. I have four dogs whom I love, as well as a supportive family who has helped me through so much.

Support Groups
Close Lupus
i was just diagnosed with discoid lupus after believing for several months that I had psoriasis. I have severe rashes on my face that are growing and getting worse. I have some spots on my arms and back, and my scalp is pink and itchy most of the time. I am scared and I love the beach and sun has always made me feel great, but now with discoid lupus I am not allowed to expose myself to sunlight.
Treatments
- Plaquenil Not Working
Close Self-Injury
I've been cutting myself since age 11. I have had periods of not cutting, but each time I start up again it is worse. I have scars everywhere on my body. I used to cut more when I was drinking and drugging, but since I went into recovery, it has been less frequent. It is the only addiction I have ever not been able to quit. I don't even know if I'm willing. But I know its unhealthy, so I'd like to support others.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Outpatient Treatment Program Not Working
- Did not help at all. I met great friends there though :]
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I have been in therapy since I was 7 years old. My current therapist is the first one who has consistently helped me.
- Talking Too Soon to Tell
- Sometimes, it depends on who I talk to.
- Tattoos Not Working
