About Me
I am currently a student heading towards a major in business (changed from Psychology) and a mother of a brand new baby boy - Christopher James. I have been a cutter and am probably borderline and bipolar since I fit most of the symptoms for both. I am the only survivor of a car accident that killed my parents and twin brother. I grew up with my sister (8 years older) and my aunt and uncle who I refer to as my mom and dad. My "dad" verbally and occasionally physically abused me wanting to turn me into his idea of a perfect child until he died of cancer my sophomore year in high school. I am thankful for my friends and most of all my boyfriend who has helped me incredibly in giving up cutting. I am also thankful for my little fluke - Christopher who has shown himself to be the best thing that ever happened to me. Ironic since when I was first pregnant I felt like it was the end of the world.

Support Groups
Close Self-Injury
I found a reason to stop cutting. It may not work right away, but I think it has potential for the future :)
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
My father verbally and occasionally physically abused me because he wanted me to be the perfect child for him. He passed away a little over 4 years ago from cancer, but I can never get his voice from my head telling me I'm not good enough.
Open Accidents
I have been in more car accidents than pretty much anyone I know. The worst was a fatality accident in which I was the only survivor. I was 7 months old and the accident took my mother, father, and twin brother.
Open Pregnancy - Teens
I'm now a mother of a beautiful baby boy. I am so happy that things worked out the way they did.
Open Post Partum Depression
My doctor agreed that I do have post partum depression... My son was born on August 26th and he is basically all I worry about right now.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Not long enough
Open Bipolar Disorder
I've got undiagnosed bipolar disorder... mostly cause I refuse to see a psychiatrist
Open Restless Legs Syndrome
I have restless leg syndrome and I think it might be making my insomnia worse. It has also been keeping my boyfriend up lately and making my legs ache.
Open Infidelity
My boyfriend (we have a son together so it's committed and headed towards marriage) had sex with my best friend while I was asleep in the room pregnant with his son. He has also said (while drunk) that he can't stop thinking about her...
Treatments
- Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
- I am trying to forgive and forget, but not sure how that is working after hearing that he "can't stop thinking about her"
Open Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1)
My son is 9 months old. He was not planned and has made me happier than anything.
Treatments
- Breast Feeding Working / Worked
- It worked for the first 6 months then he got teeth...
Open Healthy Sex
