    About Me

    Have three wonderful children who I'm trying hard not to screw up. :)

    Interests

    Self improvement, including working on self acceptance. How's that for a paradox? Always a challenge.

    • Close Codependency

      I started working on my codependency about six years ago while I was married to my second husband. Now I'm married to my third, an alcoholic, and I'm picking the book up again. I'm "probably" an alcoholic myself, though I stopped drinking (and smoking cigarrettes - another habit) because I was no longer willing to descend into the pit that was beginning to affect my kids (ages 8, 2, 7 mo.) Right now, I am ANGRY at my husband who refuses to admit there is a problem. Codependent again, always

      12 Step Program Considering
      I went to one meeting once. I suppose I should go again.
    • Close Anxiety

      I live with a general sense of fear and anxiety. I anticipate every bad thing that could possibly happen. I've come a long way, and I combat my anxiety with breathing, journaling, and learning new thought processes, but every day is a struggle. I'd love to some day be anxiety free.

    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      My OCD manifests itself in needing the house to be neat each day before I can function. I'm not as bad as I used to be - having small children, and rearranging my priorities, have made my previous behaviors impossible. Always haunting me, though.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      150 mg. to feel "normal"
      Effexor Working / Worked
      150 mg. to feel "normal". I felt it stifled my creativity though. Stopped when I became pregnant, and never went back on.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Don't have much of a story. My anxiety leads to minor panic attacks, usually in the middle of the night. Hate it.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      I needed 150 mg to feel "normal". It slowed me down and stifled my creativity. After going off of it when pregnant, I never went back on.
    • Open Stress Management

      Have worked on stress management for at least ten years. Still need help.
