About Me
I have been suffering from a deep depression since my parents died in 2005. I have a great boyfriend and I'm in counseling, and this group seems like another nice place to meet others who can relate.
Interests
Believe it or not, I'm a horror movie junkie. Mostly 80s slashers and Made for TV Movies from the 70s. I also love Lifetime, Madonna (her music really cheers me up), most 80s music in general and shopping! I'm also a huge animal loving vegetarian and have two cats and two rats (the rats live in their own room, btw!). My biggest vice is my soap, One Life to Live - it really takes my mind off of everything! Wow, I'm a nerd! :)

Close Depression
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- I took this and had horrible effects when I was weened off. Probably the scariest time of my life.
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- It was OK, but I got really tired and almost coudn't function without daily naps.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I'm in group therapy and have a one on one counselor. Best thing I have going.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for about two weeks. I'm currently weening myself off and am having some depression issues.
Close Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: VegetarianI have been a vegetarian since I was 15 and I'm now 36. I love animals more than just about anything and own two cats and two rats (the rats have their own room!)...
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Maintain a workout scheduleI have struggled with my weight my whole life. I've always fallen in the normal range, but just on the higher end. Still, with my height and build, I feel like there is too much me! :) Also, I live in Los Angeles and most of my friends are actresses, models, etc... or just look like one. I'd like to not feel so ugly around them... I'm a real low energy person and struggle with depression so being fit is some kind of uphill battle!
Treatments
- Aerobics Somewhat Helpful
- The excises can get boring.
- Dancing Working / Worked
- Love to dance - boyfriend does not. But I do it around the house when I have energy.
- Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
- I own my own elliptical and do enjoy it, but don't do it nearly enough.
- Strength Training Considering
- I never really did weights but know it's important for the bones. I'm just not sure how to use them (and I'm terrified of gyms).
- Yoga Working / Worked
- Dont do this enough either. I got into it to deal with bereavement issues and even though it helped like most other exercise I feel off the wagon
