    • About Me

      I knew that something was wrong with me when I was a little girl. I just saw things differently than my family. I would get yelled at for everything and being raised Catholic, well physical abuse was a secret, and BOY did we have them. I refuse to let anything or ANYONE bring me down, I control things, not the other way around. I am a very strong woman, been to hell and back and let me tell ya, it isn't pretty there.....

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have been depressed since a little girl and was only four years ago that they could label it

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      did not try due to possible side effects, like getting diabetes
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      therapy does wonders, especially if you can hook with someone like you
      Holistic Health Working / Worked
      I was given the opportunity to try hands-on healing called reiki and it was amazing and I highly recommend this for everyone to try at least once!
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Been taking this for about six years now, and after trying about a dozen or so, this one does it for me.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Married a man who was abusive in every sense of the way and was attracted to that becasue that's what I learned as a child...I didn't know any better and thought the love meant getting smacked and beaten and lied to.

    • Open Down Syndrome

      My son, Christopher was born with DS and it was a real shock. It was the best nine months I ever felt physically and then the doctors said that he had DS and did I want him?

    • Open Depression

      Been depressed since I was a little girl, sexually abused didn't help. Tried to commit suicide two times, becasue a man wouldn't love me...and now am divoirced with two kids and trying to do it alone.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      took this for ten years... now I find out it's ONLY for depression and NOT BP... and besides that I have grown immune to it? WTH??? Now searching for something new....
      Prozac Not Working
