About Me
Let's see...I'm a college student just trying to make it through this last year and a half. I've had a bit of a crazy past and upraising but nothing that can't be fixed. I'm on a journey to become the woman I've always wanted to be. Just to let things be and enjoy them, but it has been quite a struggle. I enjoy learning about nutrition, health, and alternative medicine. I love animals, photography, and kids! I'm just a girl on a journey trying to figure out my purpose in this crazy world!
Interests
Dark chocolate, bubble baths, photography, scrapbooking, nutrition, cooking, health, alternative medicine, nutritional therapy, a good glass of wine after a long day, laughing, big hugs, cozy blankets, fluffy socks, hot chocolate, animals (I have 2 dogs & 2 cats), great conversation, being silly, music, family, meeting new people, board games, nature... I love so many things. Most importantly I love life, no matter how hard it can get sometimes. I always have the support of my friends, family, and loving boyfriend!! This helps me get through every tough moment wether I realize it at the time or not. I hope I can always remember to never take them for granted! Learn from yesterday, Live for Today, and Hope for the future!!

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI began my battle with clinical depression in 2004. I went on meds for a year and then decided I could do it by myself and was doing fairly well until this semester in school (Fall '07) Just negative, down in the dumps, fatigued, angry....for no reason. I could just feel myself slipping again and nothing was working so I went back to the dr. to start on meds again against my will. So far, so good. I just have to keep my head up and thoughts positive and remember how blessed I truly am. :0)
Treatments
- Cymbalta Too Soon to Tell
- I have been taking for only about 2 mos. So far so good. Keep you posted!
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- This works the BEST!! It's just hard to keep up when you're depressed. So I've mixed this with a little medicine and journaling along with talking to friends & family. If you can keep your thoughts up, then all is great!
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- I went to a counselor on campus and it was good for the first couple to get everything from my past out but then after that, it just wasn't working for me.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- I had to mix with zoloft because it made me too jittery. Don't use anymore
- Writing Working / Worked
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- Had to mix with wellbutrin because it made me zombie-like, low labido, fatigued. No longer using
Close Anxiety
I worry about everything!! There are a few things that will trigger attacks. I have test anxiety and am scared of the dentist of all things. This goes hand in hand with my depression. When I'm doing well in that category, usually my anxiety is low. If depression is bad, then anxiety is bad as well. The mind is a powerful thing!
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
Well I've never met my biological father but my mom met my "Dad" when I was 1 and I love him to pieces but he has struggled with alcohol and many drugs. I couldn't even name them all. It's been hard watching the effects on my family and my little sister followed in his footsteps. They're both doing better now after my dad was busted by the drug task force. He's been doing really well since being on probation for about a year now and this has helped him alot.
Treatments
Open Family Issues
JustBe hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Healthy Relationships
JustBe hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Fitness Goals
Type: Improve overall fitnessI grew up eating nothing but convenience foods...junk! I started paying attention to my health as soon I entered H.S. and was always in pretty good shape yet never totally comfortable with my body. I started college and began the nutrition program where I started feeling a lot of pressure and began binge eating (never purging)and then would just become very depressed and eat more. Freak out and the next week eat very healthily and go to the gym and then fall of the horse again. Doing better now
Treatments
- Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
- This is what I use at the gym along with this glider type maching because they are both easy on my bad knees and hip joints.I'm hypermobile and my ligaments are to big for my joints a P.T. told me
- Hiking Working / Worked
- I love being outside in nature and we have a lot of great trails where I live. This is my favorite by far!
- Kickboxing Working / Worked
- I love this too but I'm always scared to try the classes at the gym for fear of getting to tired and not being able to keep up. I just psyche myself out.
- Running Not Working
- Too hard on my joints, but wish I could.
- Strength Training Working / Worked
- Love this part of my workout
Open College Stress
I started college in fall of '03. Wasn't sure what I wanted to do, found something switched to Dietetics my 3rd year so I'm a little behind. I have a year and a half left and can't wait to be done with all of the stress and financial problems!!!
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Sleep Working / Worked
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
Open Healthy Eating
I am a nutrition major and LOVE food! I am always interested in learning something new or trying a new food. However I still struggle with emotional eating every now and then and it just so happens all my comfort foods are the "junk" I ate when I was younger.
Open Nutrition
I'm a nutrition major. I have three semesters left!!
