    About Me

    I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, daughter, and son. Since childhood, I have had depression and anxiety. I love my family and teaching Kindergarten. I chose to teach, so that I might be able to see the smallest change in a child or to see the sadness in their eyes. I want to be their support that I never had in my formative years. I want to save them from the vulnerability of letting people use and abuse them! I teach my daughter(my son is still young) how to be strong and to take up for herself and others! She is so much stronger than I was at her age! Teaching is a rewarding job and I truly love helping my students to grow, to be proud of their accomplishments, and helping them learn to be strong! As for the depression and anxiety, I am an enlightened Christian and only my faith has gotten me this far! However, I am finally facing these issues, instead of trying to hide! My family deserves the BEST, MOST LOVING mom, that is in me!! I will OVERCOME and know true joy! I will be happy and enjoy the present day! I will not keep obsessing about the past and what may happen in the future! I think I am finding my SMILE, again...I can feel it starting to emerge out of the deep!

    Interests

    I will find my passion for the things that I really enjoyed! I use to love to be with my family, travel, shop, go camping, scuba dive, and just listen to the beauty of nature. I hear nothing but pain now. I will listen past the pain, until it is no more!

      From mockingbird12 Monday

      Thank you for reading my journal..I am doing better, but am dealing with some issues that I haven't written about. I go to therapy tomorrow, so maybe I can unload some of the stress. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We had a quiet one, and that was good. I am not on here as much since ai went to work again, but I try to catch up as often as I can. Hugs!

    • Close Parents of Children with ADHD

      I am a Kindergarten Teacher. I have taught for 10 years, now and have had many students with ADHD/ADD/ODD/BI-Polar. I have a four year that I am wondering what his teachers will say, once he enters a school setting. I am here to see the parents point of view, to help my son, students, and parents.

    • Close Rape

      I Was date raped at 16, a virgin. I thought he was a cool guy, girl how niave! I was left with a girl acquaintance at her boyfriend's house. They left us with a bottle of Tequila, She started the drinking, encouraging me and telling me in a round about way that if I really wanted to keep going out with him, I had better give it up! We drank until we were(?) sick in the bathroom, puking, I don't remember ever leaving that bathroom. I do remember her boyfriend taking her out. Can I think setup?

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Working on it!
      Rape Counseling Working / Worked
      I couldn't remember what happenned, during counseling. I thought that I blacked out b/c of the drinking, during the rape, now I don't know. I am so confused. But, my dream reminded me and I am afraid of what I will continue to remember. Horrified, actually!
