About Me
ATTICUS FINCH should have been my dad... Happily married (though not so happily existing, interesting), mother of two (girl 10, boy 6). Full time crazy woman, mother, coach to the Olympic volley ball team, housewife, good friend, Catholic, 15th in line to the throne, over-weight (but tall... phew!), charity worker, dog walker, plate spinner (2 or 3 of the above may not be strictly true, you choose). Previous incarnations: business development consultant and marketing manager, good dancer (actually can still swing my hips). HOWEVER, I LIKE TO THINK THAT THERE IS MORE TO ME THAN JUST THE SUM OF THESE THINGS! ! ! !
Interests
When all is going OK I like family times, dog walking (dalmation called Libby), gardening, travel, theatre, cinema, reading, fossil hunting(!), time with friends, being a Catholic, a bit of humourous banter. When all is not going OK I get stuck and like to hide.

Support Groups
Close Food Addiction
I occasionally (depending on the meds and my SOM) binge eat
Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Diagnosed PSCS about 20 years ago(!) Have two children and so did not suffer with infertility, but do suffer with weight issues and being HAIRY (nice!).
Open Autism / Autism Spectrum
My son was diagnosed at 4 years with Asperger's (autistic spectrum disorder) and is now rising 7.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionSuffered mild/on-off since childhood, probably due to sexual abuse. But in recent years has become more apparent and life un-enhancing so am pretty much on constant medication which helps, but sucks at the same time.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- It works to a point of functioning and stable(ish) mood. I don't like the numbness of emotion that I experience with it. Have tried another this is the best so far.
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- Reduced anxiety. But slept 14 hrs a day and ate like a horse! Had to stop.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Helped in the here and now with managing day to day, but did not address the issues, so as soon as it stopped I was no better.
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- As above
Open Sexual Abuse
It was my dad, and it went on for about 10 years and no one knew, til he confessed before he died and I was 31ish, that was 10 years ago.
