    • About Me

      I'm a mom of two children, my daughter Jessica is almost 20, my son Jeff is 18. I've been married to the same man- Brian for 20 years. I've been diagnosed with BPD, PTSD and Bipolar II. I'm trying to put my life back together after 3 1/2 years of hospitalization after hospitalization. My son is also BPD which makes it very difficult when we are both together. He overdosed this past November 22 and almost died. He's 18 but emotionally acts 12. I've also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for the last year and a half.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I am so depressed! I've been in therapy for the past 3 1/2 years. I've had ECT and two rounds of DBT & I still feel like shit! All I want to do all day is sleep. I've been diagnosed with PTSD, Bipolar II and BPD. I can't motivate myself to get out and exercise. I need to lose at least 45 lbs. I hate everything about me.

      It's nice to have people who care about you. Sometimes you don't want people there because they really don't understand what you're going through. My husband thinks I should be able to just snap out of it.

    • Open Skin Cancer

      About 7 years ago I went to my dermatologists' because of a strange mole on the middle chest area. They removed it and said they'd get in touch when the results came back. I can remember the phone call like it happened yesterday, it was 7:00 in the morning and my husband answered the phone. It was my Dr. he said it was melanoma and we should schedule surgery as soon as possible.
