    • Close Adoption

      I suppose my reason may be a bit different from others. I feel that maybe I have a different perspective on adoption than a prospecting parent may have. I grew up as an only child with my biological parents. I am 23 and I have a 6 year old adopted (2 years) sister who I love with all of my heart. I have lived with several of foster children now, and they all deserve a happy and loving home. I encourage anyone cosidering adoption to go for it. These kids need you.

    • Close Life After Divorce

      I'm trying to move on. I'm trying to find the strength to make it through those difficult days. I'm trying to believe I can and will love again.

    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I have ADD and OCD. My dad has the same. My best friend has ADHD and OCD and so does my uncle on my Mother's side. I also have a 6 year old adopted sister with some major ADHD issues we are trying to manage.

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      I prefer the 30 mg XR. I have anxity, so the XR doesn't give me too much at once. I feel the Adderall greatly improves my mood as well, requiring fewer meds to help with my depression on top of everything else. I have lost weight due to decreased appetite, but I had to just learn to force myself to eat when I needed to.
      Strattera Somewhat Helpful
      I also take Strattera along with the Adderall XR to balance out some of the upper effects.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      My husband and I married very young. He had issues with talking to other girls on the internet for a while. He at one point began talking to one on the phone quite a lot. He cheated on me early in our marriage, but confessed 2 years later. I still forgave him because i felt we should try to work it out. We were happy for a while, then he just decided he was done with me.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He went with me once to a non-phychologist counselor because he thinks all of the therapy stuff is joke even though I got so much help from a therapist before.
      Forgiveness Not Working
      I forgave and forgave. In the end...he decided it was over. I never gave up on it.
      Love Working / Worked
      Love worked for a while, but after a while, he just broke my trust too many times. I think he felt he shouldn't be there anymore.
      Pets Not Working
      I got him the dog he always wanted the summer after I found out about the cheating and then a few months later is when he decided he was done.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      During our first fights, everything was my fault somehow. He even convinced my father to talk to me about getting a therapist. I did. I would do anything for him.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Sometimes I just had to escape into another world where things weren't so messed up.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I have a couple of great friends who have helped me so much through all of this. It is hard to find people in your life sometimes who you can talk to about this sort of thing.
      Talking Not Working
      Communication was always an issue. I tried to work on it on my end, but I can't blame myself. It takes two.
      Time Not Working
      He basically said he wouldn't change his mind. He addmits to being too stubborn to do that.
