About Me
I'm 24, and about to enter into college for the first time. I'm a graphic artist, but I want to become a family physician. I have a non-traditional family since I grew up in foster care and wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy outdoor activities and socializing, and I'm a giant nerd. Big fan of Scrubs and I couldn't live without cartoons or sketch comedy.

  Thanks. I forget it's okay to be human (like I have a choice) and set my expectations way too high. I appreciate the reminder. Hugs to you.

- Close Depression
  : Clinical (Major) Depression
  I've battled depression since a young age. I had a very difficult childhood, divorced and abusive parents and some interesting family secrets that often derailed me when I found out about them. I've just gotten back into individual therapy because I noticed some red flags in my behavior (withdrawing socially, severe anxiety, loss of interest in most things, compulsive eating, inordinate feelings of guilt).
  Treatments
  
  Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
  
  I'm still working on my intake paperwork. Unfortunately my "pertinent" family history was really long and took up an entire session, so it will take a few more visits to finish up before I can begin my treatment plan.
- Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  I actually have C-PTSD (complex posttraumatic stress disorder) because I was repeatedly exposed to traumatic experiences beyond my control as a child and teenager. I have been battling the resulting anger and depression my whole life.
  Treatments
  
  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
  
  Enabled me to be more aware of red flag behaviors and ways to handle complex emotions and memories. Taught me to function while coping.
  
  Effexor Not Working
  
  Did not help whatsoever.
  
  Psychotherapy Working / Worked
  
  Was able to safely work through memories and gain a better understanding of the feelings causing my behavior.
- Open Anger Management
  What can I say? I'm angry about a lot of stuff... and I tend to take it out on the wrong people or wind up self-destructive.
