About Me
I'm a working mother of a wonderful 16 year old son. I like to read and do crafts. I tend to be very hard on myself and mentally beat myself up for my mistakes. It's a very hard thing to stop. I've been in a wonderful relationship for the last 9 months. I can't believe we actually found each other.
Interests
Reading, crafts, 'reality TV', politics, gardening

Close Financial Challenges
I was downsized a few years back. Spent some time on unemployment while taking classes. I've worked a series of jobs - each with a slightly higher pay, but after 5 years, I'm still not making what used to. I'm out of savings, I'm tired of taking money from my parents. I'm always behind on the bills and I'm really tired of thinking about them.
Treatments
- Budgeting Not Working
- It worked - but only for a short time. I start to feel better and then I slide. I don't really spend a lot on extras to begin with.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It's helping in other areas of my life, but I still don't make enough to cover the bills. Hard to make that go away.
Close Anxiety
I was downsized a few years ago - from a job I really liked. Really hit my self-esteem pretty hard. Finances also took a hit. I started having anxiety attacks and sought treatment & medication (effexor) and it has helped. Money issues still leave me anxious.
Open Meniere's Disease
8 years ago, I started having problems with dizziness. Because my family has a history of MS, I was sent to a neurologist 1st. When nothing he did helped, I finally saw an ENT doctor who diagnosed 'possible early onset Meniere's'. She gave me a list of things to try. Since then, I have very few issues, but always wonder . . .
Treatments
- Antivert Not Working
- Low Salt Diet Working / Worked
- Unforutnately, it works.
Open Single Parenting
Single parent of a wonderful 15 year old son.
Open Raynaud's Disease
Both my mother and her mother have/had Raynaud's. My grandmother ended up with both legs amputated.
Open Career Changes
I don't know if I want a career change or just a job change. With my current job, I've had 4 different managers in 2 years. That by itself has been stressful. Add to that, a general lack of trust that seems to be coming from management, and it becomes a difficult place to work.
