About Me
I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and obesity since a teen. After seeing several psychiatrist and therapist I finally found one that Im happy with and got a diagnosis. I have Cyclothymia disorder. Its a mild form of bipolar disorder and makes so much sense. I also was diagnosed last year with PCOS. Now that I finally know what's wrong and have found the right people to help me, I am adjusting to the meds and slowing but surely getting my life where I want it. It isn't happening as fast as I would like but I am definitely on my way!

Close Obesity
I've been struggling with my weight since I as a teenager, and within the last 2 yrs I gained a lot more. I got really depressed, stopped working, gained a lot of weight fast. I basically stopped living. I'm now feeling better and working to get my life back as well as my health and fitness. I also wanna look and feel good.
Treatments
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
- Topamax Somewhat Helpful
- Been off soda bc it changes the taste. Stopped that craving a lot. Just upped dosege so will see. Using for Weight loss as well as PCOS and Cyclothymia.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've dealt with depression on and off for what seems like most my life. It started as I started my teen years. It has returned again now in my late 20s. This is something I think I have always struggled with and may continue to struggle with it for the rest of my life. I have better days and worse ones. Right now I'm trying to get my life back. It's a daily struggle!
Treatments
Open Anxiety
I've dealt with anxiety along side my depression. There's been times in my life it's been worse than others. I've also had panic attacks...one in particular where I thought I might die. My body was shivering and I felt like I would pass out. It was horrifying. I'm very anxious when it comes to just "living" life. I'm afraid that I'm going to fall apart and that I can't handle the stress of it all. My anxiety is worst when it comes to any medical procedure as well as losing a love one.
Treatments
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I'm trying to learn more about it.
Treatments
- Metformin Working / Worked
- Too soon to tell for sure yet. Don't like the side effects!
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I gained a lot of weight during depression bc I stayed at home and didn't do anything but eat, sleep and watch tv. I'm trying to eat healthier, exercise and eat smaller portions. I don't believe in not eating anything, just eating in moderation and only when your truly hungry and stopping when your full.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I'm just a single girl trying to find true love. I've been hurt so many times. Usually I fall for the wrong ones. I also have a problem of falling for the ones who aren't interested in a relationship with me and the ones who are interested in me, I'm not interested in. It's a lot of one sided love so to speak. I'm hoping the next guy I'm crazy about will be crazy about me. Right now I'm trying to get over the last guy who broke my heart. It just takes time. I'm still hurting right now!
Treatments
- Love Working / Worked
- I will continue to love and keep hope that oneday it will be returned.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have a good therapist now who is helpful and encouraging to me and helps me understand things about myself and my past relationships.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- It always helps talking to others who are going through the same things.
Open Healthy Relationships
I just met someone and am taking it slow. I'm not sure if he's the one or if we're just meant to be friends. I'm just ready to find the one either way...that one person I can feel comfortable with and do anything and everything with - to share our lives together!
Treatments
Open Bipolar Disorder
I have Cyclothymia...a mild form of bipolar disorder.
Treatments
- Topamax Too Soon to Tell
