About Me
Hello there everyone~ About me: I am a 40 year old female from Boston, MA. USA .I just celebrated two years of marriage in September of 2008 and I have no children. I was turned on to this community and it makes me feel good. This is the first time I've ever done online communities and chats and stuff. Through research of my own, I've discovered that this type of thing helps. Especially for those with psychological/medical/physical/ and spiritual issues. I used to be a counselor/teacher for teenagers with emotional disturbances. Due to issues of my own, I had to leave the profession for a bit. Currently, I do childcare with members of my immediate family. Peace and take care, LOLA694

Thumbs Up
Actually, I got laid off but I would have quit if I'd found a job before they canned me! I thought every job tested for drugs? I'm just looking for an office job. Or whatever. Good job giving up the cigs and alcohol! Did you do it cold turkey?

Thanks
Oh I would definately smoke one for my head if I could! Won't get a job with that in my pee! Yeah I'm going pretty nuts looking for a job, how are you?

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I have bipolar disorder and alcoholism. I wanted to join a community and thought this would be an appropriate one for me since emotional pain is my domain. Anyway, that's my story. Please write if you want to talk. Lola694***
Treatments
- Geodon Working / Worked
- When this terrific chemical was added to my med coctail, things began to become so much clearer and less depressing for me. No side effects to speak of.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Lithium has been there to help stabilize my mind but has had rather ill side effects (Hair loss, weight gain, excessive thirst, frequent urination).
- Music Working / Worked
- without music, life would be a mistake, No side effects just good old tunes to help your mind, body and soul!!!
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Part of the med coctail to help keep me somewhat sane.
Close Alcoholism
My name is Lola...I'm an alcoholic. Been sober for 44 months.It feels better not to drink anymore but the craving is still there. I belong to this community and also belong to the Bipolar community. peace and love to all.
Treatments
- AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
- went to a few meetings and truly believe in the 12 step program yet i have done better with individual counseling with an addictions specialist. no physical side effects from A.A. but it definitely stirs up emotions that could be considered psychological side effects yet that is only my opinion.
- Willpower Working / Worked
- doing the best i can one day at a time. Having strong feelings about pouring poison into my body. It helps me stay strong. i have enough willpower to keep alcohol in the house in the cabinet easily accessible. People say to get rid of all your booze but it keeps me sober to have it around cuz it reminds me of how bad things are and will get again if i decide to drink.
