    About Me

    I'm a husband, father and pastor, disciple, former refugee camp worker, former leperosy hospital worker, working at being a leader, and acutely aware of how much growth I need to do.

    • Close Anxiety

      I'm a pastor, which is no protection against anxiety. Actually probably set one up for it. Many years ago I did work with some physcial danger (people with guns) I was less scared by them than I am of what depression and anxiety have done to me.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      Accidentedly went off cold turkey. Never never never do that with paxil.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      My fight with depression began after being diagnosed with high blood pressure. I reacted badly to the medication. Unfortunately no one connected my depression with the medication for nearly a year. It forced me to take leave from work, which created a financial hole we will be years climbing out. The MD's finally realized there was a problem when my pulse dropped to 38. It has now been 6 years. There are ok times and really bad times. This week was a bad one.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      Effexor Working / Worked
      First week on it, but it seems to be helping.
    • Open Stress Management

      Now that the meds appear to have my depression controlled it's time to take another step. My work is considered by many experts to be one of the most stressful in our culture. I'm not certain I buy that but it is certainly hard on people. I'll tell you what it is later. NTP

    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I'm 51 recently diagnosed, along with my 13 year old son with ADHD. For the first time I understand how ineffective/unproductive I have been. Currently I cannot afford medications for myself and my son so I make certain he has meds. Consequently I'm looking for ways to manage the ADHD symptoms without meds. When I can afford the medication I am on Ritalin.

      Treatments

      Ritalin Working / Worked
