    About Me

    I'm 40 years old and single. I'm a Graphic Designer and work freelance. I have two children that give me a reason! A 16 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. I was divorced July of 2006. (this was my second marriage) I'm very unlucky in love! I have a pug named Oswald I got after my divorce and this little comedian makes me laugh when I don't feel like laughing. I also have a cockatoo named Harley who is my loyal companion. As I write this he is on my shoulder supervising.

    Interests

    I love doing digital art and computer scrapbooks. I really enjoy walking at the dog park with Oswald. Sometimes my kids join us and we have the best conversations during our walks. I love animals, especially dogs! I have a part time job at a Dog resort and it is so much fun!

May you realize what a special person you are and be good to yourself. May you do something just for you that makes you feel alive and rejuvenated. May you always remember that you don't have to walk this journey alone for there are others who will help you along the way. And may you know how much I care and love you. Love Teresa

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been dealing with Depression since my childhood. I'm now 40 yrs old. I have a sleeping disorder (excessive sleepiness) so lack of energy adds to my depression or is it the depression that adds to my sleepiness? I have had to sleep studies and am borderline narcoletic. Nothing severe. I had a very severe bout of depression in Jan 2005. A divorce pushed me off the edge. I went into partial hospitalization. Now I'm doing a bit better but still struggle.
