    About Me

    I am a pasionate person who cares about the people around me. I am outgoing and possitive that there is not a shy bone in my body! I love horses in everyway. riding, training, or just grooming., There is such healing power in a horse. they just seem to make it better. I am a student in psychology and eventually want to start a ranch that combines the horses and healing. I have battled depression for a lot of years and have been to the edge and back and know now with all my heart that Christ is my reason to live! I have battled cutting for a lot of years as well and am sure that in God's timing I will be healed of both wether that be this side of Heaven or the next!

    Interests

    Horses, music, Surfing , writing poetry, Basketball, reading, leading our local youth group, acting, scripture and theology, and politics.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I battle depression very bad. I use the word battle for a reason because every day is a battle to stay alive

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Didnt do anything for me. plus I coundnt afford it as a student with no health care. I was on this along with welbutrin.
      Paxil Not Working
      Didnt work either. made me more anxious
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I am currently on this as well as remron and they both work really well. i am still making my way up to a dose that works to it's maximum. It is working but I know I need a higher dose
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      used in conjunction with effexor..didnt work it made me more anxious
      Writing Not Working
      Does not work for me. Writing poetry and music is more my style
    • Close Self-Injury

      I have battled with self injury for about 10 years. since I was 13. I started by scratching cause it just removed the anger and pain but it has gotten worse over time. I cant even count the scars now and I ahve switched between 3 places because of the weather. Some days I can do over 25 scars in one day. I am starting to seek help in this and let people in. It is hard but I know that my God is good and that he will place the right people in my life that i need to get through this!~

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Started and had my second session last night so it is too early to tell but so far it is great!
      Red Marker Not Working
      I never understood this one. how does writing with a red marker on your skin deal with the overwhelming emotions that flood my mind and heart.
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      Did not work. I just became addicted to that feeling. plus it doesnt deal with the blood part
      Squeezing Ice Working / Worked
      Didnt work.!
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes. depends how intense the emotions are and whether I will do it anyway or not
      Tattoos Working / Worked
      I am looking at getting a tattoo on both wrists that say strength and forgiveness in Aramaic. I would cation against getting tattoos on the actual scars because the ink does not stick to scar tissue
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My mum has been married 6 times and some of those father's were very abusive and growing up my mother was always emotionally abusive towards me. So needless to say we have a good long distance relationship but in the same house we would kill each other. I didnt grow up with a father he walked out when I was 5 adn has never been heard from since. I have battled depression and Self Injury since I was 13. I had so many emotions and had no where to put them..That is me and part of my story!

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      Amazing. I couldnt as for a better councelor!
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      It has taken me a long time to forgive my mum and grandma and all my past father's but in the end it is worth it because I need God to carry the burdens cause I just cant anymore
      Music Working / Worked
      I love to sing and I do choir and it is such an amazing release!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      In the midst of it and amazing!
