About Me
I am the mother of two grown boys, one of whom is intellectually disabled and autistic. Life is a challenge. I suffer from depression and struggle with binge eating when my emotional state gets out of hand. I also have high blood pressure which is currently controlled with medication.

Interests
I am a spiritual person who believes that we are all here for a reason, one of which is to help each as much as we can. Because of this I sometimes get taken advantage of, but am learning how to avoid this. I love reading, music, history and being on the computer. I am trying to learn to love myself also.

Thanks for commenting on my journal. I know exactly what you mean about the world " pushing buttons" ! Life can be cruel, no doubt. But I refuse to wallow in misery or entertain a negative attitude. Life's too short to be miserable~Take Care,Katie

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
I care for my son who is intellectually delayed and has autism. Life is a challenge and connecting with others in a similar situation can help.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI am interested in the way that others cope with depression. Sometimes it would help just to be able to talk with someone who understands what it is like.
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- It seems to be working okay at the moment.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- This doesn't work for me because I either go to sleep or else my mind is so busy it will never quiet itself.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Depends how bad the depression is at the time.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- This helps me while it is underway, but when the counselling finally stops and I feel alone again unable to express my feelings, I eventually succumb to depression again.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I have a good friend who has been there for me but sometimes it is just so obvious that nobody can really understand unless they have actually had or dealt with depression themself.
Open High Blood Pressure
To share the experiences of other sufferers of high blood pressure and ways to make a difference.
