    About Me

    I am 22 years old, I love writting poetry and hanging out with friends.Im living with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin in New Zealand.I am currently working as a sales person in Number One Shoewarehouse.I am very interested in mental health and would like to do a course to become a mental health support worker.I would also like to work with special needs kids.Most of my friends have mental health problems and I support them as much as possible they mainly have bipolar.They are also extreamly supportive to me too.I go to a support group called Balance.I have always been a very careing person and looked after injured animals when I was young.I was also abused from age five to seven and never want to go through anything like that again.My dark side is my poetry writing and art work.I am very creative and cannot live without a pencil or a pen.I am hoping that I will come out of this deep depression and anxiety at some stage.It really does stop me in lots of ways.My family struggle to understand what Im going through.I offten feel that I give out a lot because I want to help but I don't recive much in return.My emotional pain over the last six years has been life changing, it is though Ive been living with a broken heart and still am, it just wont heal.However I know that God is here for me.

    Interests

    I'm working and hate my job!.I aslo love to buy clothes and make my own styles, I love design and art.I write a lot of poetry and am also writing a novel, that will take a few years to complete.I'd love to have another pet, my dog was killed a few years ago.A cat came to me but I had give him up because the cats next door were beating him up and I was moving.I never want to do that again.I have no idea if he is still alive but he was a beautiful long leged ginger and white cat that followed my like a dog every where I went.I find I can mix into most groups when it comes to friends, Ive been friends with very wealthy people and very poor, I think Im some where in between and getting poorer.I'd like to live my life finalcialy comfortable not sticking rich.If I won a million dollars Id give a lot of it away to people who really needed it.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      Ive been in and out of depression for six years now.It started one summer and I locked myself away.Panic attacks started after I attempted suicide.I have attempted five times.I am going to go for therapy.I have tried citalopram(celexa)but found the side effects too much.I went on Paroxetine(Paxil) and ended up going off as it did nothing for me and had terrible side effects and I was becoming addicted to it.Just been diognosed with psychotic depression.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      Took the depression and anxiety away but with too many bad side effects.Felt drugged up 24/7 and unable to work.Had muscle spasams and a lot of pain.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Used to deal with psychotic depression and keep my mood stable.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Just started it for psychosis,it works but I don't like the side effects.

      Took a high dose of celexa,went off for a while and am now back on but half the dose,seems to be working.
      Lithium Too Soon to Tell
      Being used to stableise my mood and will help keep the voices that I hear away.Too soon to tell if it's working yet.
