About Me
Working at a great job, feeling pretty good about life having problems with relationships - as always. I'd love to change that.. One child left at home, a girl - almost 14. I have been enjoying reading, recently. It's been giving me something I felt was missing (little holes in your self that you don't know what might fill them..). I have been married 4 times and I am sick of getting it wrong and embarassed to death about it. I love my family and friends and wish I had more of both. I wish I was a better parent and I wish my son wasn't in prison. I want to be happy and healthy and in a decent relationship AND be a good parent. It all seems so unatainable.
Interests
Music, reading, drawing, friends/family, home improvement, etc..

Hug
I really know what you are saying. Married 2 times, I work for the Federal Government and have a son in jail. Scared to make phone calls to meet people and wonder why couples out there can have it right and why I can't. I know they have there problems, but how do they make it work? I work a lot and farm. Trying to stop blaming myself for everything and you do the same. I hope this lets you know you are not the only one out there. Each day will get better. I promise you it does. I know from experience. Take care.

Close Anxiety
I have fears about many things - they're typically unreasonable fears - fear of answering the phone/making phone calls. Going to meet people in an enviroment that's small (family dinner/gathering) driving/getting lost.......the list is endless. I recently realized that I have a massive fear of relationships..
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- Had to stop going, it was 3 times a week and it only felt great like right after the adjustment. After that - well - nothing.
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- Made me too sleepy and lifeless but good for extreme stress. Can't drive or get on a ladder or anything tho..
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- made me fat but did help a bit but I didn't like the side effects
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Works for restricting your appetite but the side effects I couldn't cope with
Close Eczema
I have had Eczema since I was about 12 or 13 (that I can remember)
Treatments
- Hydrocortisone Working / Worked
- This stuff works but over time it makes your skin paper thin and you seem to become addicted to it.
- Protopic Working / Worked
- It did work but it makes you have hot flashes if you drink alcohol or eat spicey food. ODD. But also I found warnings on the internet about it - cancer?
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
My story is no different from anyone elses I would guess. Always fighting with weight, too much of it. Always hungry. Eating plus guilt is weight gain equals guilt which equals eating and weight gain................
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Not Working
- made me sad and I thought about carbs none stop
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- I love fried foods and miss them when I avoid them
- Eating Healthier Foods Not Working
- always difficult
- Xenical Not Working
- Makes you go to the bathroom a lot and makes you feel bloated and I haven't lost any weight.
- Hydroxycut Not Working
- Makes you feel bloated and you poop bright red (the stuff in the tabs is bright red) and sometimes make you feel hyper. I wouldn't say it works.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- My good friends have given me some free weight watchers stuff to work with and it is effective but obviously restrictive. Still, I've lost 2lbs so far..8-15-07
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Diagnosed in 1992 after being sick for about a year. Started with a cold/flu and never went away. Ended my marriage. Pregnancy seemed to put it into remission.
Treatments
- Time Working / Worked
- Time seems to have also allowed it to stay CFS free(ish). I have some outstanding symptoms such as painful joins, fatigue and other small things...
Open Families of Prisoners
My 19 year old son is in prison due to drug abuse and the stealing to feed the habit..
