    About Me

    I am a happily married stay at home mommy of 3. Erik is 11 years old, Taylor is 5 years old, and Samantha is 2 years old. I also babysit for 3 other kiddos in my home during the week. I have dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time and just beginning to figure out that along with my meds if I give it to the Lord He will lighten my load!

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      My 10 year old son and myself suffer from ADHD. It helps that I can totally understand what he is going through ~ unfortunately we have the same thought process and can't "stop" one another from our destructive behaviors. But we are both working on it!

      Treatments

      Adderall Somewhat Helpful
      it worked a bit ~ but were not satisfied
      Concerta Not Working
      It works better than nothing ~ but we are not satisfied ~ doc took Erik off that
      Daytrana Somewhat Helpful
      that probably had the least effect and we had the most trouble with it ~ it gave our son a terrible rash
      Orap Not Working
      He had a dystonic reaction to it ~ now he is off it
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have suffered with depression for @ 10 years. Right now I take Zoloft but I really don't feel the best that I could.

      Treatments

      Geodon Not Working
      made me sick as a dog!!
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      seemed to work at first but now i feel as tho i am slipping back
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Seems to be better than nothing (I can tell a difference when I forget to take it a few mornings in a row) but still not great!
    • Open Anxiety

      I suffered from anxiety attacks last year but they seem to have lessened now. I still have to watch myself so I don't let myself get worked up over nothing.

      Treatments

      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      haven't taken this for a while (going off of it was horrible)
    • Open Codependency

      I am the Adult Child of an Alcoholic and I am TOTALLY codependent ~ I am such a people-pleaser ~~ it drives me crazy!!!

    • Open Step Families

      I am the mom of 3 kids. My first child, Erik, is from a previous marriage; my 2 girls are from my hubby now. We have some issues between me, hubby, and Erik (not sure if they are due to the blended family or other issues).

      Treatments

      Prayer Working / Worked
      We center our family around God and pray daily that He will continue to bless our family and love us all unconditionally.
    • Open Eating Disorders

      I am totally addicted to food ~ I can eat 3 or 4 candy bars on the way home from the grocery store and not think twice (then I quick trash the wrappers so hubby doesn't find them). I weigh 230 lbs and am 5 feet 3 inches tall ~ totally disugusted with myself!!!

      Treatments

      Prayer Working / Worked
      It works when I do it ~ GOD really has taken control of this issue when I give it to Him ~~ the problem is I keep taking it back; and not listening when HE tells me STOP!
      Counting Calories Working / Worked
      Again, it works when I do it. Keeping track of everything I eat ~ having to write it down and actually SEE the problem helps.

    • Open Anger Management

      I am 34 years old and am an adult child of an alcoholic as well as a child from a broken home. My dad wanted nothing to do with me my entire life and then he died in 1991 ~ leaving me with many unanswered questions. I chose to have an abortion in 1995 ~ I suffer terribly with that decision on a daily basis. Now I have 3 children and am TIRED of being angry all the time!!

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed a long time ago with bipolar ~ but now my 11 year old son as been diagnosed with it as well!

      Treatments

      my son had a terrible reaction to it
      Geodon Not Working
      made me SO tired my hubby had to come home from work and take care of the kids
