    • Interests

      working in my gardens, vegetables, and flowers. I have several flower beds(my gardens) and each one is very different. I love spending time with my grandchildren, I like to read true crime books - not because of the horror but learning about the people and what brought them to that place in life, I have read so many that I believe their are people prone to be a crimminal and some set theirself(not on purpose) to be a victim. so if anyone enjoys this type of reading I would love to share stories and opinions with you. My greatest joy is the love and time with my wonderful husband - he is the first person that has ever in my life made me feel he loves me as I am and I don't have to change myself or cater to him or take a backseat and make him the KING, he just loves me but most of all he likes me.. such a shame I had to go thru 2 horrible marriages before I found out I was worth something and someone actually felt they were lucky to have my love instead of me working my butt off to be what someone else wanted me to be whether I was happy or not..

      From BlindTiger October 15, 2008

      Hi there-yes, I am in Louisiana-and I totally agree with you about the schools which is why I have chosen to homeschool-and I love it-Homeschooling has allowed me the priviledge of being with my kids every day and teaching them myself-it is amazing to watch them learn everyday. So where is your daughter? In Louisiana? -Have a good day and thanks!-Ellen

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have battled depression as long as I can remember. I am 55yrs old and still think of the mental and physical abuse I suffered as a child. I have trouble trusting myself and others. I am in my 3rd marriage(5ys last month) I love him and he loves me I know but I still fall into old habits of doubting him and waiting for him to change from being such a wonderful man into someone who will hurt me.

      Treatments

      Desipramine Not Working
      it did nothing for me
      Elavil Working / Worked
      it works only for the times I go through periods of not being able to sleep for 2-3 days at a time.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      it was helpful and I wish I had someone here I could see. I am on SSI disibility for depression and anxiety disorder and cannot afford it now.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      the absolute best medication I have ever had. I ran out and that is why I am having problems now.
    • Close Degenerative Disc Disease

      I have severe DDD and am on SSI disability and had to fight for it, so go to one of the attorney's that spealize in this, they have a maximum they can charge and they can get this through much faster and back to the date you originally looked into it so you will have income and insurance. If you like contact me and I will give you the name of someone who will work very hard for you

    • Open Anxiety

      I have anxiety attacks where my breathing gets really fast,my blood pressure goes up, times moves in slow motion,sounds and smells are louder and stronger than usual. I feel like I am going to die...I take my xanax and after it takes effect I am ok but I often forget to fill it on time and it usually ends up saturday nite and the trouble starts and by the time I get my medicine I am praying to die because I cannot stand it any more..

      Treatments

      Breathwork Considering
      Hypnotherapy Not Working
      I tried it but I am not sure I believe you can by put under and so I doubted the progress the Dr. said I was making and stopped going
      Xanax Working / Worked
      as long as I don't let it run out I am fine but if I realize I don't have any I will be a wreck until I get it filled..alot of the time just knowing I have it will help me get past an attack but when I have an attack and don't have any I want to die it is so horrible.
      Walking Working / Worked
      this works when I can but right now I have to have major back surgery next thursday so I have been unable to walk for a couple of months.
    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I am on disability because my anxiety got so bad I could not leave the house to work. I still avoid as many social situations as possible. I would like to over come it because I know I miss out on a lot of things.
