    • About Me

      I am in my second life and trying to balance the great amount of past information I have accumulated with the great amount of present information I can take in. I am a great human to try out "formulas" on. I consider myself an artist.

    • Close Depression

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing helps to understand what elements may be bringing me down and also helps me to remember good things still happen on bad day.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I have recieved emotional abuse from my parents. I also feel that society in general has been abusive in not being supportive of my honesty and feelings.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      Leave Working / Worked
      When a person won't stop or acknowledge their behavior and/or you can't forgive, it is better to leave.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Therapy enable me to be able to confront behavior I didn't like.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking can help as it is traumatic to be abused - especially when you are a young adult.
    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I believe my troubled past including not having a confident grasp on love makes it hard to feel secure in a relationship. At times I need so deeply that it is not realistic for anyone to fill that need.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      Needed with myself to work through my insecurities.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Opening up with someone gives them a fuller picture and understanding. Some discussion doesn't work when it involves a situation which will not change or the person has invested their feelings elsewhere.
      Writing Working / Worked
      This helps me to keep track of myself what I am doing. Also is a release for feelings which are my own work.
    • Open Time Management

      I've been (under) using Daytimers, note pads, etc. in aim to stay more focused and use my time well. I'm looking for support, inspiration and encouragement to keep working at honoring my goals.

    • Open Stress Management

      I have a lot of stress due to a variety of issues. I work with computers (hee-hee). I am very sensitive to energy.

      Treatments

      Anger Management Somewhat Helpful
      I took an anger management class which helped me realize behind my extreme anger was vulnerability and sometimes simply being overly tired!
      Patience Working / Worked
      When I am able to be patient this brings out the best in me - common sense, awareness of timing, fairness and good self care.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Definitely helps. Should do daily. Being out in the air and being in contact with nature (animals, trees and plant life) is associated with this.
