    • About Me

      I am about as far from ordinary as you'll ever meet. Sometimes that's good and sometime's it's not so good. I live in Lincoln, Alabama which is a small town a few minutes East of Birmingham. I am divorced and have a beautiful 7 year old daughter named Karley. That's the only thing I gained from that marriage other than a bit of wisdom and a lot of gray hair. I prefer to be alone (thus the name LoneShooter). I tend to only learn lessons the hard way. I'm a tad stubborn and hard-headed but I'll do anything for someone I care about. It takes an incredible amount of pushing to make me lose my temper but when I do stnad back! I am a big NASCAR fan (#96 Bobby LaBonte and #99 Carl Edwards) and Auburn Tiger fan. I have 8 tats and 6 piercings, but I stopped wearing the earrings. I am 6'2", 200 lbs., brown hair with some gray, and hazel eyes. I am a Christian, but probably not the best one I could be. I have a Bachelor's degree and a Master's Degree in Education. I taught for 10 years. I also recently finished classes in Medical Transcription and would love to do this from home but can't seem to find an open position. I'm a pretty boring person but if there's anything else you want to know, just ask!

      Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
      by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

      Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday
      And today was such a lovely day,
      that I wondered why I worried about today yesterday
      So today I am not going to worry about tomorrow
      There may not be a tomorrow anyway
      So today I am going to live as if there is no tomorrow
      And I am going to forget about yesterday.

      Today is the tomorrow I planned for yesterday
      And nearly all my plans for today did not plan out the way I thought they would yesterday
      So today I am forgetting about tomorrow and I will plan for today
      But not too strenuously
      Today I will stop to smell a rose
      I will tell a loved one how much I love her
      I will stop planning for tomorrow and plan to make today the best day of my life.

      Today is the tomorrow I was afraid of yesterday
      And today was nothing to be afraid of
      So today I will banish fear of the unknown
      I will embrace the unknown as a learning experience full of exciting opportunities
      Today, unlike yesterday I will not fear tomorrow.

      Today is the tomorrow I dreamed about yesterday
      And some of the dreams I dreamt about yesterday came true today
      So today I am going to continue dreaming about tomorrow
      And perhaps more of the dreams I dream today will come true tomorrow.

      Today is the tomorrow I set goals for yesterday
      And I reached some of those goals today
      So today I am going to set slightly higher goals for today and tomorrow
      And if tomorrow turns out to be like today
      I will certainly reach all of my goals one day!

    • Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I have always been shy and self conscious, but over the past 10 years or so I have been dealing with depression that gets worse and worse every year. For the past couple of years, especially this year, I have gotten so bad that I don't like to leave my house. I stay up at night and sleep during the day because that pretty much guarantees me not to have to answer the phone, answer the door, or come into contact with anyone.

    • Close Families of Prisoners

      In 2004 I received a 10 year sentence but luckily got it suspended and probation. However, like an idiot, I got a DUI about one and half years later (April 13th~Friday~of 2007) and spent almost six months in the county. I have never been through such hell in my entire life and I thought that my life had been kinda rough before that. Anyway, I'm out now and being good. If anyone wants to give or get advice, I have first hand experience. Jeff^~

      Treatments

      Time Working / Worked
      Time always makes things better. That seems to be the only thing that does help. But no matter how much time passes I WILL NEVER FORGET!
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've always been very withdrawn. Over the years, with several bad decisions pretty much ruining my life, the depression has gotten much worse. It got so bad that it turned into a slight agoraphobia. Over the past few months my depression seems to have gotten better, but now I've got to find a way to overcome the not wanting to leave the house.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      This combined with Elavil seems to be working.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Did take it...Didn't work.
      Effexor Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work.
      Elavil Working / Worked
      This combined with Celexa seems to be working.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work.
      Paxil Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work.
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      Never works for me.
      Prozac Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work...made me crazy.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Didn't help. They just kept telling me that I needed to just go out and overcome it. Duh, it's not that easy.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My mother's support has probably been the strogest and most effective medicine.
      Trazodone Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work...plus it knocked me out.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Did take it...didn't work.
      Writing Not Working
      Use to keep a daily journal but didn't help.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Did take it for a long time. It worked some in the beginning but stopped working after a couple of years.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I have had some sort of OCD pretty much all of my life. Luckily it hasn't ever been bad enough to impact any parts of my life. It's only in my head and noone else can tell. I count things. I prefer odd numbers. I have assigned odd/even variables to all of the letters of the alphabet. Recently I have started to have thoughts that bother me though such as running my car off the road into trees or falling off the balcony I'm standing on. It's not bad, just makes me nervous.
