    About Me

    Hi, I'm a 38 year old mother of four children, and have a loving fiance. This is my second time around with anorexia (hate that word). I was 17 when I was first diagnosed with this disorder. I love my family dearly, but it can be difficult to talk to them about some of my feelings. I'm hoping to talk to people who are going through or have recovered from this horrible illness. Looking forward to making some friends.

    Interests

    Dancing Skiing (water) Movies Spending time with my kids Reading Cooking, Looking after my cat and dog.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Hi I'm 38 and mother to four beautiful children. I have been battling depression my whole adult life. With my depression I am also struggling with OCD and Anorexia. I joined this site to talk to people going through similar conflictions. So far this has been a life line for me.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Read a book on Cognitive Therapy. Some good advice but can be hard to put into practice.
      Meditation Not Working
      Cant shut my thoughts off, I'm to restless for this to be effective for me
      Paxil Not Working
      Didnt find this one helpful for me
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometines helps, but when I'm down its almost impossible to think positive.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Had this when I was 21. Didnt suffer any side effects other than weight gain. I would not go on it again.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Never had a therapist yet who has been able to help. Not sure if I'm very objective on my feelings about this one.
      Seroquel Not Working
      Made me very nauseous all the time. Didnt help.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      When I'm willing to let people in It can they can be helpful.
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      still new at this, but so far it has been very therapuetic.
      Zoloft Not Working
      On a huge amount and not really feeling the benefits anymore. 400mg daily
      Zyprexa Not Working
      All this did was make me feel like a zombie and I would faint all the time.
