About Me
I am deaf and fluent in ASL. (American sign language). I have a son named Gary and he's 20 year old who remains in VA. It's challenging living in a hearing world and finding decent job both. I never forget where I came from, a small town in Provincetown, Mass. It's been an interesting journey, bad and good. I think about my families and friends in Ptown, sometimes I get sad and miss our families and friends. I raised my son for the 20 years. Life is always changing and doesn't stop. It's just one life journey. Reach all your stars as much as possible!
Interests
I love walking, socializing with some friends, parks, reading, anything that is fun and adventure.

Close Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective DisorderI struggle with my depression. When I am down, I don't feel moviated to do anything at all. I eat and gain weight. I feel so alone. I try to stay strong and be happy but it's not that simple. I hate pills and won't try different mediences for depression.
Treatments
