    About Me

    I'm a nursing student trying to redefine and improve my life. I'm suffering from depression for the second time and today was given a tentive diagnosis for PMDD. (PMS that kicks ass) I've never been a firm believer in medication or therapy, but I'm trying to keep an open mind and give it a chance.

    Interests

    Pottery, Yoga, Holistic Healing, Meditation, Mindfulness, Reading, Walking, Dogs, Comics, Board Games, Card Games, Traveling Across US, etc.

    • Close Depression

      Clinically Depressessed. This is my second episode, my first occurred at 18-19. Seven years isn't too bad if this is my first relapse. Dr. told me today that my chances of relapse after this are much higher, but I can always hope this will be the last time.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
      Just starting.
      Meditation Too Soon to Tell
      I'm going to start my yoga and mindfulness exercises agian. I have to get out of this funk.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Prozac Too Soon to Tell
      Any words from that that have taken would be appreciated.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      It is what it is. It helps me define my feelings.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Got me to a point but I had to quit because it made me angry.
    • Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      PMDD. My therapist has decided to treat me for this using medication in combination to continued therapy to help me gain control of my mood swings and bring me out of my depression.

      Treatments

      Prozac Too Soon to Tell
      If anyone has taken, I'd love to hear how it works.
    • Open Infidelity

      Please ask if you would like more information.

    • Open Fitness Goals

      Just using exercise in general to help deal w/ my PMDD. It'd also kick butt if I turned into a lean mean fighting machine while I was at it.
