I am a wife, mother, friend, social worker, and survivor. I love working with children. I am currently employed as a TSS worker and hope to return to school in the summer of 2009 to persue a Masters in Social Work so I can be a children's therapist. I am a Christian. I love animals, music, humor, the outdoors, and like to spend as much time as possible with my grown children and grandchildren on my time off. I love people. I enjoy cooking and crafts.

Don't know if I can in 500 words or less. Adopted into physically & emotionally abusive family at 1 month of age. Left home at 15 after running away numerous times prior. Married abusive partner. Divorced at 17 & was single mom. Married emotionally abusive man at 18. Divorced at 20. Met current husband at 21. He is a good man. Was sexually abused several different times. Raped by a stranger at 15. SUfffered major depressive episode at 48 when my grandaughter was mollested. And so on till now.
My children had ADHD and learning disabilities when they were young. I went to school and I am now working with children with behavioral and mental health problems as a TSS and going to school for my Masters because I want to help children with these issues have more success and a better quality of life.
Just recovered frm a few years of major depression and don't want to end up there again. I need the support of others to help me stay on track and manage my stress and anxiety so that doesn't happen. From my education, life experience, and circumstances I also feel I can offer good support to others.
PTSD from childhoodsexual, physical, and emotional abuse, abusive marriage (not current), and violent rape at age 15
Have had problems with anxiety for years, and it causes me to have racing thoughts and insomnia. At times there are days when I barely sleep, if at all. Have also been known to have panic attacks.
About 4 years ago I suffered a major depressive episode. I was hospitalized three times, went to day threatment 3 times, and am still seeing a therapist weekly. At the time I was mis-diagnoised as bi-polar but my psychiatrist has recently changed it to Major Depressive Disorder. That was not my first time, just the worst one.
Have degenerative disc disease and fibromyalgia. Chronic and constant pain.
long history of abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, abandonment, and co-dependant relationships
have had chronic debilitating migraines since I was about 2
Hi. I was oficially a foster mom for over 10 years and had many others live with us over the years prior tp becoming liscensed. In addition I was an abused child, a run-a-way as a teen, married at 15 and so on and so forth. Way too much to tell in an introductory post. To those of you who are foster parents, I am available for support. To those of you who live in foster care, you have my prayers and encouragement. I know some homes are good and others are not. I pray that you find a real HOME.
Been diagnosed for years. really fustrated with the chronic pain. Looking for ideas.
