About Me
I am a colourful, feminine, living expression of spirit.....soulful and compassionate, A creative, silly- heart who loves to play. I walk in the rain, I nap in the sun, dancing gets my freak on and nature is what grounds me.....I collect books and heart shaped rocks... I enjoy exchanging snail mail and picking out kitschy little gifts for friends, I was a mermaid in a past life, ..I get inspiration from big fuzzy clumsy bees. (how can they fly?) I have an unusually keen sense of smell.

Words try
to unearth
fresh ground
before compost
is ripe;
you can't
harvest insight

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have struggled on and off with depression 20 years~
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I am currently in DBT group and it is the first time I feel like I am making real life changes.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- changed my life....worked great for about a year and then turned into a nightmare....I have been off effexor for about 1 year.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- keeps me centered and grounded...and gets me out of my head~
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- depends how bad the depression is and whether meds are working. There have been times in my life where the mere mention of the words "positive thinking" would push me deeper towards the big black pit of doom~
- Prozac Working / Worked
- counteracted the sexual dysfunction I was experiencing from the effexor....I am no longer on Prozac.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- absolutely~ wouldn't be here with out the support of counselors and therapists.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- this has been a tricky dance.....some can take your energy and some don't want to see you happy....with those...I keep it brief, say nothing or say goodbye~
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- this is what I am on now and am just getting over a hump with dysthymia
- Writing Working / Worked
- writing is like breathing for me...I have to do it.
Close Coming Out
I came out 6 years go at 37 ...better late than never.....here to support those that dare or just want to talk......If it wasn't for the Internet and discrete on-line support groups...I would still be stuck in n unhappy marriage pretending to be the perfect hetero couple.
