    About Me

    Working hard on keeping myself happy with the things and people that make me happy. Recording, music, movies, my girlfriend, and my friends are what make me smile. I'm ridiculously in love with my girlfriend and work hard every minute of the day to make sure that I don't smother her and deprive myself of the happiness I deserve too.

    Turning bad situations into good ones.

      From beckystuboo June 20, 2007

      i know it sounds cliched, but hang in there. breaking up is never easy, but in time it gets easier. i hope it works out for the two of you, but if not, perhaps it was a stress that you dont need. good luck

  • Support Groups

    • Close Depression Supporters

      I did everything I could to support my girlfriend with bipolar/depression and it didn't work. There was nothing I could do to help her and she left me... Twice. It's important to support the people you love. I just hope she finds someone like me that is willing to stick it out and help her like I was.

    • Close Stress Management

      Frequent panick attacks (as little as once a week or often as several times a day). Socially triggered, almost solely when romance-related. I experience shaking, shortness of breath, tunnel vision, and vomiting. For my health and ability to function I take whatever advice I can. Progressing along slowly but surely.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Too Soon to Tell
      Works for just lowering my heart rate and making anxious feelings more subdued.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      It's not a story any more. It used to help talking about it, but now it's just exhausting. I'm ready to move on.

      Support Groups Working / Worked
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Works wonders. Side effects are night sweats and tremmors... Totally worth it, in my opinion.

    • Open Anxiety

      Nervous Wreck. I have frequent panic attacks where I shake, lose my appetite, and invariably vomit.

      Never understood depression until I *really* felt it. It took a bit to realize, but it actually hurts. Currently medicated for it.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      I've had panick attacks for a long time, and overcoming them has been a challenge. I never realized they were panick attacks till I went to a therapist last summer. Now I have a very sturdy grasp on them. They don't go away, but I feel like I have a life without that feeling every minute of the day.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Prescribed for depression, but it has done WONDERS with my anxiety too.
      Stretching Working / Worked
      Forces controled breathing. Forces concentration on relaxing your entire body, one muscle group at a time.
