    About Me

    Let's see. I'm 24. I just got married (April 28th - have to try to remember that). I've suffered from PTSD and Depression for a very long time. I like small get-togethers, but find myself really edgy in large crowds of people. I would rather have a small group of close friends over than hold a big rockin' party. I am compulsively messy. I think that I just feel safer in a "nest" of clutter, trash, and clothes. I know that I need to work on this, but I don't...

    Interests

    I love animals. I have three rats, three goldfish, a turtle, a cat, a parakeet. and a gerbil. I love reading. I used to read compulsively, but now I try to read less. I used to read between 1 and 5 books a day. Now I read about a book or two a week. I play a lot of video games. I love the Wii, and play a lot of the Sims 2 on my PC. I love GOOD music! I tend to listen to older rock and folk-rock. But I don't discriminate and will listen to anything if it's good and someone tells me about it.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been depressed for most of my life. I was the middle child and the textbook Lost Child. I was abused (sexually, physically, emotionally, mentally) from age 12 to 16. I have suffered greatly from depression.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Was on this for about 6 months. It did nothing for my depression and made my migraines worse.
      Prozac Not Working
      Prozac made me feel nothing. I didn't feel depressed, but I didn't feel anything else either. I wouldn't recommend it.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I have been in therapy on and off since 5th Grade. Most of the people I saw were crazier that I was (and that is saying something).
      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I was sexually (as well as emotionally, mentally, and physically) abused for four years. Since then I've been unable to deal with a lot of situations.

      Treatments

      Rape Counseling Not Working
      I went to counseling for about a year specifically to deal with the abuse. It didn't help, but it probably didn't hurt either.
      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!

    • Open Self-Injury

      I've been a self-injurer since I was 12. I have tried to stop, and didn't cut at during the year 2006, but have cut some this year. I am trying to stop.

      Treatments

      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused from age 12 to age 16.

      Treatments

      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!

    • Open Marijuana Addiction & Recovery

      All it takes to quit is WILL POWER. Addiction to marijuana is a mental addiction, which means that your body craves the emotions that pot creates in you, not the THC.

      Treatments

      Keeping Busy Working / Worked
      One helpful way to stop using pot is to find something else instead. Pick a friend who will "sponsor" you, and call them when you want to use. Read a book!
      Faith Not Working
      You can't just try to replace marijuana with religion. Then you are just in danger of becoming ADDICTED to religion. You can find help from your faith, but you need more!
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Drug counseling has never helped me or anyone I know that has been through it.
      Physical Exercise Not Working
      Replacing a marijuana addiction with an addiction to physical exercise might work for a while, but you are really in danger of becoming addicted to exercising.
      Writing Not Working
      I have an issue with writing down my feelings, so I didn't find this helpful. I know some people it has helped.
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      Thinking positive can be helpful, but you need some support and a lot of will power or you will just relapse.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
      You need to be able to resist temptation when you are around it also. When I WANTED to quit, it didn't matter if others used around me. I just didn't want to.
      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!
      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      I quit for a year, with no withdrawal, simply because I didn't want to smoke.

    • Open TMJ

      I was diagnosed with TMJ at 16 by my dentist.

      Treatments

      Mouthguard Somewhat Helpful
      I got a mouth guard from my dentist when I was diagnosed. It did seem to relieve some of the pain, but then my dog chewed it up, and I never got it replaced
      Stretching Somewhat Helpful
      Five or six times a day, I try to stretch my mouth really wide. This seems to keep me from gritting my teeth while I'm sleeping.
      Prayer Not Working
      Prayer only works when you are willing to do more than just put yourself in the hands of your deity of choice. You need to ALSO help yourself!

    • Open Anxiety

      I never really thought that I had an anxiety disorder. I just knew that sometimes I was irrationally scared to do normal things, like leaving the house.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
      I start on Sunday.

    • Open Tinnitus

      I didn't know that "Tinnitus" was an actually condition. I guess I figured that everyone heard the ringing sounds too?
