About Me
My name is Lisa Marie. I'm a married SAHM from Canada. I grew up in and continue to live in an extended family household. I am a Jewish Christian with several years of post-secondary education in the fields of theology, ministry and biblical studies. I have spent 11 years involved in various outreach ministries. I am a survivor of abuse (emotional, physical, spiritual). At the age of 7 I was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and at age 18 I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life, including currently. I enjoy getting to know new people and making friends online. You can also find me on Myspace at: www.myspace.com/crkandlmk

Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have struggled with depression since my childhood.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Helped me sort a lot of things out!
- Effexor Working / Worked
- Helped control my episodes of weepiness and improved my ability to wake in the morning.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I pray and find it helpful
- Paxil Not Working
- I took to for a while in the late 1990's but the side effects I experienced outweighed the benefits so my dr. changed my AD at that time.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes my depression clouds my ability to think positively but it is somewhat helpful - to at least try...
- Prozac Not Working
- Prozac made my appetite huge and I gained weight and stayed depressed. That was 1998, after my lack of response to Paxil.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I first saw a psychiatrist at age 8, then again at 12 and pretty much non-stop with pdocs, therapists, psychologists, etc since. Its been helpful depending on who I was with and what techniques were used.
