    About Me

    Mom of 2 autistic kids, I work a successful business from home. I am mostly stressed out because of difficult kids. I love my job. I have a wonderful supportive husband. I've had depression since I was a kid and I'm on meds for it...not sure if it's helping. I'm a Christian who is grateful for God's love and for my Savior Jesus. But I keep forgetting the hope and joy I'm supposed to feel!! I really am sick of my BIG SECRET... binge eating at night. I am gaining lots of weight, having skin breakouts, and feeling physically/emotionally bad about myself. This is my attempt to get help.

    Interests

    Jewelry, movies, Christian music, shopping

  • Support Groups

    • Close Food Addiction

      Renatalie hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

      I have two boys with Asperger's Syndrome, ages 9 and 6. They are very intense, active boys with a lot of anxieties. They are in regular classrooms with support. My older son doesn't need much support anymore, but his fear of noise is more severe than ever. I am quite overwhelmed.

      Treatments

      ABA Somewhat Helpful
      We had our older son in modified ABA (home therapy) for 1.5 years until he didn't qualify anymore. This wasn't really the most ideal approach for him.
      Early Intervention Working / Worked
      Had both boys in early childhood at public school. I am happy we did this because they weren't left alone to just do whatever they wanted. It was HARD but it helped.
      Occupational Therapy Working / Worked
      Through public school.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused by my mother's cousin when I was young. I don't know if it was once or a number of times. I have a terrible memory. I just know I was never the same after this.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've had chronic depression since I was a preteen.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      We just got a puggle (pug/beagle) 8-week-old puppy and caring for him is releasing endorphins left & right! I also feel so special and loved by this little guy.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am about 65 pounds overweight and have always struggled with food addiction. I am not very active and I can't seem to stick to an exercise program. It's hard to believe in myself and try anything new because I've failed so many times. I just need to truly care about myself.

      Treatments

      Curves Somewhat Helpful
      I found it monotonous at times, but mostly it's hard for me to get myself to leave the house to exercise.
