Interests
Animals, reading, writing, sewing, making blankets, swimming, and talking with other abuse survivors and moms. I have to admit that anything to do with my son is my biggest interest though. =D

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am severely overweight (at my last weigh in I was 462 lbs) and in need of support and help to lose it. I am married to a wonderful man, but he and my family don't really help in my weigtloss needs. I have little to no self control (obviously). I am hoping that I can connect with some other people in the same boat as me.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I am a fan of eating healthy, the problem is it's pretty expensive.
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- I would eat small portions and nothing after 6pm.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- walking, sit ups, arm and leg workouts, turbo jam, and swmming. I really enjoyed this and it was working.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been clinically depressed for about 15 yrs now. I can usually handle my depression and have gotten pretty good at turning a frown upside down. But for the past 3 or 4 months I have been battling it. I can't seem to get over it this time. I mean one minute I'm ok and the next I'm crying or angry or very negative. I am hoping to connect with others that understand what I'm going through.
Treatments
- Paxil Working / Worked
- it worked really well, but I absolutely HATED withdrawl effects. Also I don't have insurance and can't get a perscription.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- it generally works. but sometimes I can't bring myself out of the depression.
Open Anxiety
I have suffered anxiety/panic attacks since I was 12 yrs old (about 20 yrs now). They started because I was seperatd from my family by force after tell my mom that my step dad was sexually abusing me. The social workers said I needed to be out of the house or they would take me. I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle. That night I suffered my first attack and have had them ever since. I have grown pretty good at controlling them without medication.
Treatments
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- i breathe in slowly thinking (in with the good) and exhale slowly thinking (out with the bad). It works very well most of the time.
- BuSpar Working / Worked
- I took buspar also when I was 15 for about 2 yrs, then stopped. I didn't really ever know what it was for. But I guess it worked.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- I have been on and off paxil since I was 15 yrs old. Paxil really did help me. I currently am not on any medication. I didn't have any side effects, but the withdrawl was HORRIBLE!
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- I try to be positive and think of good things. I try to take my mind off of the attack and try to fill my head with happy thoughts.
Open Sexual Abuse
I was sexually abused by my step father from 7 yrs to 12 yrs.
Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I am the mommy to a wonderful little man (1 yr and 2 months old). He's the love of my life and the greatest gift I could ever ask for. =]
