      Ebaying and scrapbooking. I use to be an avid reader until those two things took up my spare time. I still read, just not as often.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      Earliest memory of sexual abuse is 5. New memories are starting to surface of abuse before that age.

      Talking Working / Worked
      Have been in and out of talk therapy since 1988 when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. It has always helped. I either stop because of insurance or I run because I don't want to deal with the work once it starts getting hard. Hoping to not run this time.
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Too Soon to Tell
      Just started this book this month. Hoping it will work.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      I have been on this a few times over the years. Seems to be one of the few ones to work. I always hit a wall with meds. This one lasts longer then the others. Not sure of side effects, maybe lack of sex desire?
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Same as the Prozac. This one really works on controlling my rages!!!! I love how it works for me. The only thing that I can think of so far that I don't care for is that I can't be in the sun for long. I get over heated very easy and sweat. Makes me feel like I am going to pass out from being in the sun.
