About Me
I am a seventeen year old girl who is currently a senior in high school at a school for kids with learning disabilities. I have a past of being suicidal and depressed and went to Heartlight Ministries to help cope with my depression. I found out many new things about me through my journey at Heartlight, and am very thankful that I got to spend 2 years of my life working with the people there. I love horses and spend some of my extra time volunteering at Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship, where I assist disabled riders and groom and tack the horses. I love it and it is such a rewarding experience. I hope to one day have the career as an Equine Vet. My plans after high school are to go to community college for a year and then continue my studies by getting a degree in Large Animal Veterinarian Medicine. [If you'd like to know more about me or Heartlight, let me know!]

Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaEver since I've been in the first grade, I have been pulling my hair. The cause is unknown and I have no yet found a way that has successfully treated my Trich. completely.
Treatments
- Hypnotherapy Not Working
- I went to about 5 or 6 hypnotherapy sessions, and in the beginning I was able to last 2 days without pulling, but it never helped much after that, despite my reoccurring visits
- Effexor Working / Worked
- I feel that the Effexor helps calm in down on a normal day-basis when there is not stressful things going on with, or around me. I usually have a lot of stress surrounding me, even if it's not my own, so I can't say how well it really works, as I'm not sure
- Marijuana Somewhat Helpful
- When smoking weed I become instantly relaxed and the stress goes away quite quickly. I can say that when I am high I don't have a problem at all with my Trich. I just don't want to have to be stoned all the time just so I won't pull my hair.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI had been depressed since I was about 13 years old. I attempted suicide many times and finally ended up going to a Residential Treatment Center called Heartlight Ministries where I became aware of the real me and became a much happier person.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- This medicine has been incredibly helpful for me and I have noticed a major difference in my mood! (good of course) The only bad thing with Effexor that I have noticed is the fatigue. I am tired all the time and have to nap every day
- Lexapro Not Working
- Prozac Not Working
- Zoloft Not Working
Open Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaAfter loosing a major amount of my hair I started getting made fun of about my appearance. I felt ugly and wanted to look like everyone else, so I began purging so that I could be skinny and thought that maybe that would take away from my hair loss. I struggled with Bulimia for three years after I started but overcame my eating disorder on February 3, 2007 with the help of my friends in a residential treatment program called Heartlight Ministries.
Treatments
- Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
- When I went to Heartlight I wasn't there for my bulimia, as nobody in my family noticed because my depression was the most dominant thing they saw. At Heartlight I met many friends who helped encourage me to be happy with the way I look and I was able to overcome my disorder.
Open Adoption
My birthmother was 15 when she gave birth to me, and wanted me to have the life she could not offer me, so 6 days later I was adopted by two of the most amazing people in the world. I am not yet allowed to meet my birthmother, but there is only a few more months then I can finally meet her and talk to her
