    • About Me

      I am 33 years old, married, with 2 furry sons (my kitties). I work in Commission-based Sales and hate it as I don't handle stress in a healthy way. I hope to get a sign soon, as to the direction I should take and where I should be going, and what I should be interested in, and who I should be, and who I should be helping.....I think too much. I am very much into the mystic and the psychic unknown. I often times play games with myself to make simple decisions, so yes....you can eat the cookie, but can I have your fortune, please? I'm a weirdo. I think it would kick butt to be a Ghost Hunter on TAPS sometimes. I don't know what I want to be yet, and what career will bring me and others joy and make my place in this world better yet. This is a big issue for me. Something else about me..um.....I wish I could think in the "grey area." To me, often times, everything is just BLACK OR WHITE. There is no in between. It's like, well, I planned not to have any wine, but since I already had a glass and broke my rule, I might as well kill the whole bottle. That kind of thinking, I'd like to change. That's it for now. I need to update this later to make it well-rounded, but for now this rambling is going to have to do. I am a very sensitive person who needs to grow some balls and thicker skin without becoming a complete monster.

    • Interests

      I love walking and reading books. I always read 2 books at one time and switch off and on between them. One is always a self-help book, the other, fiction (a sanctuary from my everyday hellish life in this cruel world). I used to love to paint(acrylic on canvas) but it is such a pain in the ass to pull all of the stuff out and make a place to do it as my apartment is small. I have made some pretty impressive abstract pieces; I only do abstract stuff (my paintings look like a preschooler's Sunday project). Whatever keeps you mind out of the dumps. I love cooking, but only when I drink, so I guess I won't be doing a lot of cooking. I like Retail Therapy and getting something new sometimes. I also love eating all kinds of ethnic foods and experiencing new restaurants. That is it for now.

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      exhausted and anxious. having problems focusing at work. overly sensitive and think i am being targeted in normal conversations. completely isolated and don't like to be around others which makes working hard!
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      i read tons of self-help books...just read "inspiration" by dr. dyer, and currently reading, "the power of positive thinking" by norman vincent peale. know a lot about pychology from university days but have always had an interest, perhaps to help myself.

      changing to celexa because it is cheaper soon. i suppose it is working a little. i am overly sensitive in normal conversations though and often times feel targeted. i need to grow thick skin. i am way to sensitive and take things personallly. i am constantly avoiding things that i need to do and procastinating. i just cant seem to get out of this funk.
