About Me
I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression and BPD two years ago. I have struggled with anorexia for most of my life, but most severely in the past two years. I was discharged from an ED clinic May of 07 and have been working toward recovery ever since. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He is my strength in perpetual weakness. I'm a Bus. Mgmt. major at A&M... Whoop! I work at Starbucks and am the only child of my family. ... that's me in a nutshell
Interests
I have a passion for literature, music (guitar and voice), writing, and people. I love relationships... I wish I were better at them.

I have had severe acne for the past year and half. I was just recently put on Accutane after a billion other types of treatments. Now I'm just waiting it out to see if this works.
Treatments

- I've been on Accutane for 4 months now. It definetly makes things worse before they get better. Generally, you go on this med for 5 months, but they are discussing a 6 month with me. Side effects: severely cracked lips and inner nose, dry skin, nausea w/o food.
- Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
- Differin Somewhat Helpful
