About Me
I’m just this girl--but I’m not just a girl. I am many things. I am committed to myself and my family before all else. I believe in constant self-evaluation and self-improvement--but not perfection. I think the flaws are what make people interesting. I want to learn more, grow more, feel more, and BE more. I don’t want to be stuck in any roles. I often struggle with the day-to-day minutae of life, but I am very much a free spirit at heart.

Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
Mom of 2 kids (plus a step-daughter), expecting a 3rd--and in way over my head.
Treatments
- Child Time-out Somewhat Helpful
- Time-outs are helpful in that it gets them out of whatever bad situation they are in, but it does nothing to prevent the bad behavior.
Close Depression
I currently have mild depression, but I have had ups and downs with it throughout my life. I am struggling to be a good mother, but it's hard for me to get motivated to do anything.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I read "Feeling Good" which incorporates cognitive therapy techniques into a self-help method. I really learned alot about myself and how distorted my thoughts can be.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I do tend to feel better when I write out how I feel. I feel more in control of my emotions and thoughts too.
Open Pregnancy
Mom of 3 kids (including one step-child) and expecting another one.
