About Me

Hi ! I am a teacher, married with two sons. I teach young chiidren who have special needs, such as, learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, or language delays. I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive and understanding of my unstable emotional life. I have had anxiety since I have been very young( remember being extremely anxious around the age of three - being left in the care of my 8 yr.old brother (who used to torment me). There was an intercom in the bedroom that enabled my parents to hear us from the neighbors house- but I can still recall my feelings of terror to this day. Moved around a LOT! I think this added to my sense of instability. Plus, my father had a very controlling, no nonsense type of personality. We were discouraged from expressing our emotions, so I learned to "stuff" all mine, and they came out from time to time as panic attacks. Basically, I am dealing with generalized anxiety disorder now - which has not disabled me - but it sure isn't fun!
