About Me
I am a survivor of sexual abuse and I suffer from depression. Not sure if the depression is clinical, situational, etc. I recently hit a low point and sought out help. I am in the process of the recovery of my life...I'd like it back.
Interests
Traveling, camping, fishing, listening to music, dancing, singing, visiting with friends, writing, wildlife conservation...so much more but that's enough for now.

Hug
Here is a great big hug for you. Try and use your intuition in all circumstances.
I’m With You
thank you for the hug and right back at ya. your post struck a cord with me and i do know what you going through. it sounds like this person is special enough to take the opportunity to learn more about yourself and him in a trusting relationship. remember that there is no such thing as the "knight in shinning armor", only human beings with certain flaws and wonderful strengths. good luck

Close Sexual Abuse
Sexually abused at age 3 by my cousin who was 16. When I didn't want to "play along" he locked me in the closet and proceeded to molest my sister. I get physically sick just thinking about it.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- It's good to hear others' stories.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Can be soothing and breaks up the loud-silence.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking with friends has been helping. Soon I will be speaking with a therapist.
Close Fibromyalgia
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS about 4-5 years ago. Haven't found a treatment that works. Was told that the best things for me were exercise and vitamins. Tried both but, vitamins don't seem to give me the strength I need and the exercise left me in much pain.
Open Abstinence & Celibacy
I am almost 30 and still celibate due to my religious convictions, plus you really get to see what a relationship is made of when you rely on personality, true feelings, etc.
Treatments
- Prayer Somewhat Helpful
- Lets just say its been difficult so I do cry out to God when I am tempted or when I dont think I can go another step.
Open Ankylosing Spondylitis
Been in Urgent Care/ER many times for debilitating pain in spine, hips, legs. They say it is my sciatica.
Open Sciatica
Diagnosed with sciatica 2 months ago. Recently, drs said I could have bulging disk.
Treatments
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- I hate steroids and the side effects but I do get some relief during the treatment. Only temporary and then I am back in pain.
- Mobic Working / Worked
- Works and doesnt make me sleepy. Again only temporary relief.
- Valium Working / Worked
- Takes pain away but I dont like the thought of being on it long term.
