About Me
I'm in my early 40s. I am married and have no other children, due to health issues. I work out of my home, while my husband is, at the moment, on disability. Hopefully he will be well enough to go back to work soon. Things are rather tight ( I don't know why .. lol) ... I am also a college student working toward my associates degree in business administration. I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling (when there's time), and music. I found out about DailyStrength just by doing a live search on the internet, so I decided to find out more about this place.

Support Groups
Close Adoption
: Open AdoptionI am a birthmom who placed her child for adoption (with the promises of an open relationship throughout her life) when she was five days old. Eventually, the adoptive parents (particularly the adoptive mother) decided not to keep their promise, thus, I haven't seen them in more than 3 years. I am in search of support from other birth moms who have done this and have, or currently are, experiencing the pain of being cut off from face-to-face contact with her child. Hopefully I can be of some support to them as well.
Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with bpd a few years ago. I began medication and therapy about two years ago, and most of the time, it has been helpful. I am at the point where I could use extra support, especially now. Thank you.
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- I take clonazepam, similar to Lorazepam. It helps, but I get sleepy for a couple hours.
- Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
- It's helpful, yet makes me feel groggy from time to time.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- It helps with my depression. I sometimes feel foggy, but it passes quickly.
- Zyprexa Too Soon to Tell
Open Anxiety
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- It helps some of the time.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- other than feeling groggy, it's helpful
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I've done that for so long that I can do that without hesitation.
- Positive Thinking Considering
- I have to work on that every day. Sometimes negative influences from others makes it difficult for me to maintain a positive attitude.
Open Cerebral Palsy
I was born with CP; my twin sister and I had the umbilical cord wrapped around our necks. Unfortunately, my twin was stillborn. Doctors believe that is why I was diagnosed with it when I was around 18 months old.
Treatments
- Heel Cord Lengthening Working / Worked
- I was around 6 or 7 yrs old when I had the heel cord lengthening on my left foot. The surgery was a success and I went through years of physical therapy. I am very fortunate to be walking and doing as well as I can at my age.
