    About Me

    STATUS MAY SHOW ONLINE- I FORGET TO SIGN OUT... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmXGrDmOSLI...i am personally struggling right now with my own demons...but i do my damnest to push them aside and, fight for me, and fight for others...sometimes i forget that i too, am human...sometimes i dont listen to the signs my body gives me to "chill" and when i ignore those signs, i have meltdowns and anxiety attacks...these meltdowns and anxiety attacks are new to me, and i will figure out how to fight off those as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voT3jGWUh2o

    Interests

    There are so many things that I am interested in. To name a few: music- hard rock/90's grunge-alternative, drawing, photography, writing & reading poetry, writing short stories, being outside esp at the beach, surrounding myself with beauty and positivity, remaining an advocate for the health and safety of our children, making a difference in someone else's life, making someone laugh or at the least, smile. I am interested in meeting as many survivors as I can- I find them to be true heroes. I also find it very important that I always stay true to myself and that I always face my fears, stay strong, stay open minded and def fight (bust some caps) for what I believe in. AND CONTINUE TO STAY ONTOP OF MY FOREVER LIFE LONG GOAL OF BEING HAPPY:) *my chat is disabled, so dont take it personal if i dont respond:)

    • Open Panic Attacks

      Had my first panic attack on 9/08. Never had a clue the intensity of a panic attack until that day. I was scared to get out of my car and go into work. My ex-husband had caused me great harm a few days prior to the panic attack. I was scared that when i came out of work he would be waiting for me, in or by my car. When i went back to the house to retrieve some items, i again had a panic attack. he had held me against my will in the home a few days prior to that panic attack.
