    About Me

    I have a very loving supportive husband who is going through chemo at the present. There is so much that I don't know about these treatments now and I don't trust the doctors but when I don't know anything about this stuff I guess I have to let the doctors do their thing. I have two daughters who are also very supportive. The oldest one has 2 sweet boys and the youngest one babysits/housekeeps for her sister. My youngest daughter has R.A. and is mildly challenged so the fact that her sister needs her is really great. Like I told a couple of my friends "I am an old woman with two kids and two grandsons". The longer I am on this marvelous earth the more I am learning about myself and others. I just hope I can have another 60 years to learn and use what I have learned. If you look at my birthdate you will know that I am an old woman. Loves and Blessings to You All

    Interests

    I love to listen to pagan/celtic music. I am studying Reiki and enjoy talking to like minded people. What I am most passionate about is my husband, girls and grandsons. Blessings All

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I'm from an abusive home, suffered from migraine headaches and was on an antidepressant for a few months when I was about 21. It wasn't until the mid-90's that I was seriously treated and I've been on and off treatment since. My therapist and I finally figured out why I've not kept a job. Try ADHD and I'm an older woman.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      I found it kept me on a fairly level keel I was never excited more or less just there
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I think this has been the most effective experience that I've had for treatment.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      When I started wellbutrin it was like I had been set back to when I was a kid when I could just enjoy life because there was life
      Writing Working / Worked
      A lot of times if I get angry I just go to my blog site and blow steam that's better than screaming at my hubby
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I am adopted and if the woman that raise us even looked like she approved of something we did one of us would get a beating. The man that raise us was a pretend preacher and one of his favorite sermons was sex out of wedlock and taught us girls to be 'hors' and condemned us for what he taught us. I think the worst was that his wife backed him up and said we deserved what we got. I have a hard time coping with authority figures. My first husband was an emotional abuser, both to me and our girls.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      writing helps there too but the abuse was in the past and I don't like to dwell on it
    • Open Empty Nests

      I have two daughters ages 33 and 30. The oldest one now has 2 little boys and is married. When the oldest one went to live with her dad, the only way I can explain it is, I felt 'splintered'. Then the youngest one went and the feeling intensified. Then they came back but they were grown up by then and ready to start their lives. The oldest girl got married, I really feel as if a part of my life had ended. I am now a grandmother but it doesn't alleviate the sense of lose.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Since my Doctor is an empty nester he understands and can discuss it intelligently with me which helps
      Writing Considering
      It seems to work most of the time.
    • Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients

      My husband had his left lung removed for cancer in January. I am tired of trying to work all the nonsense out on my own thank you

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was raped when i was a child but had blocked it. I have written a poem of becoming a woman.

      Treatments

      Reiki Working / Worked
      I have been studying Reiki and giving myself treatments since last fall. I think it has helped
      Writing Working / Worked
      I write poetry to express what I went through but mostly for those others who have been abused also
