    • About Me

      I'm a stay at home Mother of 5 kids. I have been married to my dear sweet husband going on 13 years. My kids keep me very busy and always on the go. Currently my husband is going back to school. It's tough going back to school this time around. With a big family things are tough and tight. I love Spring, Autumn and winter. Summer is way to hot for me. I am a very sensitive person, a good listener and a good friend.

      I like to work out to blow off steam and it gives me a time away from my hectic life. I love the out doors and sports. I'm a sucker for horror and action movies. I love going on road trips and exploring new places. I love, love music. Not to hot for Rap or R and B.

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I've suffered with daily headaches and migraines for 22 years. I tell everyone that I've had one headache for 22 years. I can't even recall a day with no headache. I only have one kidney so I am unable to take many migraine meds. I have taken 3 different meds and have sticked out on all of them. The first two gave me terrible side effects and this last one did not touch the headaches at all. I can not go on another day with another headache. I have major depression too. I'm looking for help.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      It was a terrible experience.

      I've had bulimia for 5 years now. There have been times where I've throw up 6 times a day. I feel guilty whenever I eat. I feel like I should through up whenever I eat. I hate food, I don't know how I can get over this.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've had depression for as long as I can remember. Even as a teenager. When I was younger I hated myself. I thought I was so ugly and thought I was a wast of space. I did not like looking in the mirror. My depression has grown out of control. I think about suicide all the time and I feel like I'm worthless. Having bulimia doesn't help either, or suffering with daily headaches.
