About Me
I am married (23years) and have a 16 year old daughter. I have suffered from depression for about 12 years and anxiety for about 5 years. As I look over my life, I see times when I was suffering from anxiety and depression, but never took medicine until the last 12 years. I was having 4-5 panic attacks a day about three years ago, but finally got them under control. I still accasionally have anxiety symptoms. I cuurently am in the process of moving and starting a new job which has my anxiety up a little.
Interests
I love reading, crafts, music, etc. I, also have a very spoiled cat that I love very much.
