About Me
I'm a stay at home mom of three young children and 2 teenagers. I used to run a home daycare but had to quit once my eating disorder landed me in the hospital last Dec.2007. I'm much better now, but everyday is a hard struggle and I'm fearing that I'm slipping back into old habbits.My kids keep me happy and I love taking care of them. I'm sometimes limited because of the fibromyalgia and CFS that I'm burdened with, but I do my best.

I am an adoptive mom of three beautiful children. My daughters are six and seven and my son is 18 months..Adoption has been the most wonderful thing that has happened to our family. My children are loved as much as if I had birthed them myself. They do have special needs, which can have it's own challenges at times. But we are dedicated parents and do everything and anything to make sure they have all the help and assistance they need. These kids are a part of my heart, and will be forever.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI suffered from severe depression as a teenager, and recovered well once I moved out of my abusive home.

Open Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders
I have a seven year old daughter with Tourette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD and an insecure attachment disorder. So much for such a wonderful little girl to deal with! Her tics were very mild at the beginning, but we are now noticing that they are increasing in frequency as she is getting older. We have decided not to medicate her until we feel that it is affecting her ability to function.
Open Eating Disorders
I have ED NOS and I'm in this so bad right now that I can actually invision myself dropping right back into anorexia. I suffered with anorexia as a teen but have had TOO MANY relapses, this one being the worst of them yet. I just can't find the fight inside me anymore. Way too much to have to live with and deal with on a daily basis.I HAVE to get treatment, and very aggressive treatment at that, because the truth is, I'm NOT afraid to die from this.. and I have to live for my beautiful kids.
