About Me
I'm a single parent of two. I have a son 13yrs and a daughter 5yrs. I work part-time with young offenders and hope to go back to school to get my degree in Criminology soon. I spend all of my time either working, taking care of my kids, helping my aging (and ailing) parents. I feel like I have lost myself in the last few years......Hope to make some friends on here and find 'ME' again.

Interests
Reading, psychology, criminology, health & fitness. I used to love to weight train but haven't done it in a long time. I'm so busy taking care of everyone else I don't have much time for myself and I don't even know what interests me. It makes me sad.

Hug
Hi my dear friend. how are you? ((HUGS)) Celti
Hug
I am sorry. I realize I must've deleted you from my friend's list due to your inactivity. I, as one who isolates alot too, should understand that just because you're not around very much, it doesn't mean you've left for good. I do hope you try to check in more frequently. Is there anything I can do to help? I'm a really good listener if you catch me on a good day :)

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
I'm 42 and a I'm a single parent of two wonderful kids. I've had problems with eating since I was around 20. I've went from being extremely restrictive to night bingeing/sleep eating. I feel like I'm in hell.
Close Food Addiction
tamara42 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Depression
I was diagnosed with depression maybe 15 years ago....it has affected my life and my work immensely.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- took it years ago when other meds stopped working. Not currently taking it.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- took it years ago......not currently taking it.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- Have been using it on and off for years.....in between I have taken other meds. I take Prozac regularly.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Took it when I was much younger as a daytime med. Have been given it to help with sleeping in the last few years....not using it. It didn't help with sleep that much.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Used in the past to help me sleep. I hated that I felt like I was DRUGGED in the morning. I have it still, but don't use it.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- I was taking 150mg SR twice a day and it made me too edgy. Switched to 150mg SR once a day and that was better. Have it but don't always take it.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Took Zoloft for a few years in high doses and low. It helped, but as life changed I found it was slowing me down a bit...SOooooo switched back to Prozac.
Open Anxiety
I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) around ten years ago...maybe
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Used in the past. It worked. Not currently using it.
- BuSpar Somewhat Helpful
- Helped a bit, but gave me headaches. Not using.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- I currently take Clonazepam
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Used it in the past for depression and anxiety. Needed something extra for the anxiety. No longer using it.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- I'm not good at thinking positive, but I have gotten better at riding out the anxiety....just knowing that it will pass eventually
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Have used it in the past as a sleep aid. Helped me to fall asleep but not to stay asleep. Didn't like the drugged feeling I had in the morning. Not using it anymore.
- Valium Working / Worked
- Used it in the past. No longer taking it. Was very effective. Again, another Dr. felt it was too addictive and switched me to Xanax.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Used Xanax for years. I found it to be the most effective for me. Unfortunately I moved....had to get a new doctor who felt Xanax was not a good drug and gave me Clonazepam instead. I prefer Xanax.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Used in the past. Helped with depression and for a bit of anxiety but was not effective enough for the anxiety......needed to take an anti-anxiety med along with it. No longer using it.
