About Me
I am a married stay-at-home mom with two children, ages 2 and 4. My hope is to one day be happy so my husband and kids and I can live life to the fullest. I'd love to wake up not feeling down and I'd really love to conquer my depression. I'd also like to surround myself with genuine people who care and want to help and who want to see my family and I happy.
Interests
I enjoy nature, animals(especially dogs), all genres of music, singing, dancing, taking long walks (enjoying nature), art, writing poetry, birding and reading. I miss being near the ocean and living in Maine with it's aesthetic beauty, rocky coast and all the birds and critters who live in that habitat. A great place for nature lovers, for sure! I have a good sense of humor and love a good hearty laugh when I can get it!

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI am a stay-at-home married mother of two very young children. My beloved dog passed away last September and my family and friends have all desserted me this past year. They hung around as long as they could push me around, put me down and tell me what to do but the minute I asserted myself, they all left me. I have no "true" friends and now, no family to speak of. My husband is supportive but very busy with school and work. My children recently have been really acting up, only adding to my list of failures. I have the feeling that I will never be happy, even though I'd love to be, I guess I have no idea what true happiness is. The Dalai Lama says, and I'm paraphrasing, that we are all born with varying degrees of happiness which remains pretty much unwaivered during our lifetime and I guess I got short-changed in the happiness department. I really need a genuine support system.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I've tried pyschotherapy and in the past it has worked, but recently has not. I am currently on Wellbutrin, but do not notice any significant improvement.
Close Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I am a stay at home mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. We have lost our family members this year, not due to death (long story) but I know my kids and I are suffering for it. I wish they had family to take them to the park or for sleepovers, but no one cares about them enough and I am feeling very overwhelmed by their tantrums, disobedience and disrespect.
Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
I am a stay at home mother of two children ages 2 and 4. Recently we have lost most of our family members, including our beloved dog, Poe. I know my kids are suffering because they have no one but my husband and I to care for them. I wish I had the kind of family that would take them for sleepovers or to the park but my family is not helpful like that. On holidays/bdays it's sad to see so few caring about them. It makes me feel like I've failed my kids.
