About Me
I'm a 21 Years Old and I have A.D.D. and Depression. My mother died in '04, so I live with my dad. I have been forgotten about by many people and it makes me sad. I'm shy and I try to be nice to everyone. I love cats, but sadly I only have one. Well, that's all for now.
Interests
I'm going to college to be a Paramedic and get the degree that goes with it. I'm an EMT-Basic and a member of the local Fire Department/Emergency Squad. I like it alot. I like to watch M.A.S.H., CSI, Star Trek, and older CARTOONS!

Support Groups
Close ADHD / ADD
I was diagnosed with A.D.D. May of 2007. I can't sit still for very long and I always have to be doing something, or at least thinking about stuff. Also If something made me nervous I have a hard time thinking about anything else. Alot of the time, I stay up until at 1 in the morning to watch TV shows and do stuff, because I'm not ready to go to sleep, and I don't wake up or have the energy to do so, until noon at the earliest. There's so much to do and so little time.
Treatments
- Adderall Somewhat Helpful
- I am starting to slow down and control my thoughts. I am doing more constructive things and actually enjoying the things. At this poing I'd say I'm doing just OK.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- See a social worker weekly w/ Adderall. It seems to be slowly working. I can think a little slower and more indepth than before.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI would sleep until at least noon and not go to bed until about 1 in the morning. I wouldn't do much of anything but watch TV and play on my computer. It's hard for me to want to get out and do lots of stuff, unless I'm really interested in it.
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- It's helping. I ran out for about 4-5 days. Meanwhile, I felt sick very easily and a little dizzy. Side effects can start or worsen if you don't lower the dose first.
- Love Working / Worked
- Love is a great help WHEN it is recieved.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- I listen to things like Christian Hymns when I am sad or stressed and groups like Taproot when I am angry.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Seeing a Social Worker weekly, w/ celexa(Citalopram), is working well. Same as with A.D.D.
Open Shyness
I am a pretty shy person, at least at first. I get very nervous, and sometimes panic, in new situations or avoid them all together. Most of the time I don't come out of my shell unless I'm pushed a little. Quiet and observant are good words to describe me.
Treatments
- Love Working / Worked
- Love is a great help WHEN it is recieved.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Slowly coaxing me out of my shell.
Open Step Families
My mother died in '04 and my dad has recently found a new love. Just one problem. Even though we live in the same town, My dad and I would have to move in with Beth and her two boys which are 13 and 19. My main problem is that my dad, mom, and I moved into the house we live in now in '03 and I have alot of connection. I have made that house my home and I don't want to give that up or not do all the stuff my dad and I were going to do there TOGETHER. For the moment, dad and I still live at home.
Open War in Iraq
I lost a very good friend I went to high school with on July 26 2007, when a bomb exploded next to his HUMVEE. Nothing can express the amount of loss felt by his family, our community, and the Owego Free Academy class of 2005. Charles E. Bilbrey Jr., you will be missed, but not forgotten.
Open Anxiety
I have a slight problem with anxiety. I sometimes avoid situations or tasks because I an anxious, then I look down on myself for not going through with it...
Treatments
- Love Working / Worked
- Love is a great help WHEN it is recieved
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It helps a little.
Open Families & Friends of Gays & Lesbians
Lambda Society... It's basically a "Gay/straight alliance" on campus.
