    • About Me

      I have suffered with anxiety and depression for about 20 years. Meds help me cope. I also have Ankylosing Spondylitis and am in pain all of the time! I have 2 children 28 and 22. The 22 year old is going to jail monday for a year for DUI. That has brought my controlled depression and anxiety out. BIG TIME. All I do is cry. OK now the good stuff, my dog corey. He is my best friend! He makes me smile.
