    About Me

    I've been trying to think of something i can put here that i won't have to change constantly. since my life is a roller coaster, it's hard for even me to keep up with it. I'm young. I am living with something that may or may not be bipolar disorder (i don't know if i trust doctors who say i am) and i am also living with being a drug addict. obviously. i have a hard time dealing with life and my emotions, yes. but i am trying my best to get by and just living one day at a time.

    Interests

    mountain dew, ketchup, breaking benjamin, driving around, shopping, ice cream, puzzles, movies

    • Close Heroin Addiction & Recovery

      I started using frequently around March 2006. Was introduced to it a while before but never pursued it. But I became addicted for most of 2006. Until I overdosed and almost lost my life. It's been a rough road since then and I want to just beat this and stay clean.

      I admit I have a problem. If there are pills around, I will take them. I need to stop this.

    • Open Shyness

      I can't remember a time when I haven't been shy. I feel so uncomfortable around people that i just want to crawl into a corner and hide. Shyness is something that I will probably need my whole life to get over.

    • Open Tooth Grinding

      I've been grinding for years. I do it and I don't even notice half the time. I have no insurance or money to go to the dentist and get treated either. I don't get headaches from it though but i know i'm destroying my teeth.

    • Open HPV

      Was diagnosed with HPV a few years ago. I ended up having the LEEP procedure done and it helped my paps to come back normal. Now I am HPV free.

      I am not a constant cutter but I've done it several times. It wasn't to get attention, it was because i was just feeling so horrible, i wanted to physically feel how emotionally in pain i was. if that makes any sense.
