    About Me

    I like to get out and socialize but don't have the opportunity to. My husband's a couch potato so we don't get out much. I like to play tennis, volleyball, going to see my son play baseball, dancing with my baby girl

    Interests

    I love warmer weather. In NC, its not too cold but if we can't get any snow I'd rather it be warm. I like the days longer and spend more time outside with my kids. A son (almost 11) and daughter (almost 2).

      Oh Stella, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having those symptoms again. I know how scary that is. I can't seem to get off of my roller coaster so I know it's not easy, but I just keep praying to God. He's kept me in the palm of His hand so far and I trust Him to stay with me. I'll keep you in my prayers. Lots of Love and Prayers, Maggie

    • Close Anxiety

      I have been living with anxiety since I was in 12th grade. I had my first panic attack. Actually I've had it all my life. I was around friends but always felt lonely. I feel this way now. I don't want to isolate myself but thats what I do. I can relate to feeling powerless because of the situation I'm in. I feel trapped and insecure.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I try to out think the panic by thinking good thoughts and give myself positive affirmations like I can't die from this and this won't last forever.
      Valium Working / Worked
      It keeps me from having the agoraphobia and calms me. I still have attacks out of my safe zone.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      After I received treatment for panic and anxiety disorder, I became depressed. It comes and goes but for a while it has overtaken my life and I can't seem to get over it. I've been living this way for 15 years now and I'm really tired of it.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I've only been on for 3 weeks and I can't see a differrence yet. Still feel depressed
    • Open Menopause

      Hi, I am 41 years old and have suffered from anxiety, depression and hormonal migraines most of my life. After my second child was born I have my ovaries removed. It helped my migraines but through me in menopause. I just had an endometrial ablation done but still feel really tired. Could use some support.

      Treatments

      Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
      The vivelle dot relieved the hot flashes and night sweats but I still feel hot most of the time and the flashes come and go.
      Provera Working / Worked
      I guess it is working. I stopped the neurontin. I still have mood swings but it goes along with the frustration and depression I feel.
    • Open Phobia

      Suffered sexual abuse as a child. Agoraphobia and panic attacks. Hate highways and traffic. living with this all my life.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked

    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      I have a two year at age 41 and not as patient as I used to be. My daughter seems to drive me crazy but I love her very much. Also going through menopause and moody all the time.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused throughout my childhood and still dealing with some issues. I have been through therapy and it has helped. Dealing with depression and panic disorder.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      Seeing a therapist.
    • Open Financial Challenges

      I have lost 3 jobs due to absences where I suffer from depression and migraines and missed work. Its so hard for me to get a job now. Right now I am working through a staffing agency and don't know how long it will last. I don't make enough money to cover all our bills because the pay is a lot lower than I originally made. I also just went 9 months with no job and now we are so far behind on our bills we can't ever afford groceries. My family has helped out alot but can't depend on them forever.

      Treatments

      Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
      I cut up most of cards and consolidated my bills and it worked fine until I lost my job. I still have a couple for emergencies.
      Debt Consolidation Working / Worked
      Also worked great until I lost my job. Now that I'm working again hopefully get back into the program I was in. So far behind on bills I have to get caught up before re-entering program. For now just not paying.
      Holding a Garage Sale Working / Worked
      Worked great also until I started running out of things to sell. I was taking things down off my walls and also selling clothes. Don't make a whole lot but enough to get by.
