About Me
I have a history of depression that comes and goes but since the loss of my son, things have been pretty constant. Even though he died in November, I still cry every day. Certain things trigger me, seeing a pregnant lady, getting those coupons in the mail...etc. I have another journal that I write in primarily if any one would like to check that out go right ahead: www.livejournal.com/_moonstar I go to school full time and work full time so I may not write as often as I'd like.
Interests
being outdoors, photography, spending time with my boyfriend of three years, cleaning, the ocean

Close Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome)
I lost my son DJ to what the geneticist thinks was T18 in November. He was born still six days before he was due. I am having a very hard time getting over this. He was my first child and will always have a place in my heart.
Close Miscarriage
I lost my son in November to a trisomy disorder. He was a still born and was due to be born six days later. The doctors did not notice anything wrong with him until it was too late. I am having a really hard time getting over this.
Open Eczema
I have been suffering with really bad eczema for almost eight years. I am so tired of having my skin dug up, raw and looking nasty. My self esteem is really effected. I have tried lots of things and don't seem to get miuch relief for long.
Treatments
- Aloe Vera Not Working
- Made me break out
- Elidel Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for a little while
- Eucerin Somewhat Helpful
- didn't work for long
- Hydrocortisone Somewhat Helpful
- helps for a month or so and then I get immune to it
- Protopic Somewhat Helpful
- didn't work for long
- Triamcinolone Topical Somewhat Helpful
- didn't work for long but I go back and forth with it. works for a week and then I need to switch and go back. I need to apply all over my body so it gets my clothes greasy.
- Phototherapy Somewhat Helpful
- works in moderation but it is a big commitment to go three times a week like I need and to drive 45 minutes there and another 45 minutes back.
- Atarax Considering
- makes me fall asleep really quickly, good for night time but not days
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been suffering from depression since high school (about 8 years or so). It's heridetary I suppose as my mother is just like me. I've been diagnosed with depression, social anxiety, mild OCD, and PTSD. I gave birth to a son with Trisomy 18 in November of 2007, he was dead at birth. Since then things have been on and off but before that I was doing great for the most part. I have given up on counselors and such, I work FT and go to school FT and it's hard to fit it into my schedule.
