Interests
It lately seems to depend on my mood and whether I'm currently living in Florida or New York. I enjoy photography, although I haven't practiced it in some time. I really would like to, although my camera is in New York, and I am not. I love spending time with my boyfriend. When in NY, i spend a lot of time with my little sister, family and friends. i miss them! I very much like to work with young children, they can teach you a lot and are a lot of fun. Writing and reading are also passions of mine. Music helps get me through those hard times. Taylor Swift's music helped me through the hardest and scariest time of my life. I love making new friends ; Don't be affraid to talk to me. =]

Support Groups
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Some people, even friends, laugh and make fun of me for the "odd" things I seem to feel the need to do. But worse than that is the pure-o! That's terrifying sometimes.
Treatments
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Seroquel works really well for me. Only side-effect is sleepines, but that isn't a problem because I seem to need it now in order to fall asleep... although lately, it makes me sleep way more than i should be.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- I guess it's working. I was put on three times the normal starting dose and had the scarriest side effects. Felt like I was losing touch with reality, couldn't eat or sleep for days, terrified out of my mind; and eventually went to the ER and hospital. Doctors' say normal starting dose is AROUND 50 mg. I was on 150 mg right away.. so do research, because doctors can be wrong.
Close Self-Injury
I don't want to keep going back to this. It's an addiction and when I'm struggling with something, I seem to crave hurting myself. It's not safe and I want to find ways that REALLY do help.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- For a time, i thought it might be. But the only suggestions I got, were to sqeeze ice, which I never liked the idea of, because of the reasons I choose to self-injure. And talk to someone I trust, works sometimes, but not always.
- Red Marker Not Working
- I heard about it, so i decided to try it once or twice. The idea intrigued me, but it didn't really help.
- Rubber Bands Not Working
- This was what lead to me beginning to cut. Snapping, after a while, stopped hurting and welting, and led me to find something that would, in fact, hurt.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I've stopped and started again quite a few times. And the people I used to talk to... No one really knows I recently started struggling with this again. I'll only really talk to my boyfriend about it now, since he has gone through this and over-come it.
Open Bipolar Disorder
Some days I'm happy-go-lucky and full of energy. I wanna get up and do a lot of things. Other days/times, I just don't feel like getting out of bed, doing anything and get in weird/upset moods, sometimes seemingly for no reason. It's hard managing such ups & downs like that.
Treatments
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- It worked well for me. Made me tired but that's about it. But whatever levels the doctor tests you for, mine was way way too high, so they had to switch me.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Seroquel works really well for me. Only side-effect is sleepines, but that isn't a problem because I seem to need it now in order to fall asleep.
Open Anxiety
Besides being triggered by my ocd....... my anxiety is caused by my nausea and acid reflux i have everyday. so my health leads to my anxiety that leads to my self-injury. I need to find better ways to deal with my anxiety.
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- I take it when I start to have an anxiety or panic attack. It works really well for me. Even if I take it far into an attack, after a few minutes I begin to relax and calm down.
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- Until just now, I didn't know zoloft was for anxiety. I take it for my ocd though.
Open Panic Attacks
Because it's not easy getting through an anxiety/panic attack!
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- works great when i'm having an attack and need to calm down and relax.
Open Phobia
