    About Me

    I'm 27 and have been hurting myself since I was about 10 years old. I like to read and write, and I like to listen to music (all types). I'm finally taking steps to help myself and regain my life. I'm still afraid though.

    Interests

    knitting, reading, writing

    • Hug

      From poetrywriter November 9, 2007

      Life Hold on to the love in your heart; your love for life, your love for others, your love for love, and mostly your love for yourself. Accept and enjoy the present, the here and now Don't live in the past, it's where it should be; left behind you. Don't worry about tomorrow, today is too precious and nothing will every repeat itself in the same fashion. Don't go looking for trouble, sooner or later it finds you A good friend is few and far between, treasure them. Don't start something that isn't worth a ripple in the water; have one second and gone the next. Enjoy yourself always; your time here is short anything can happen at anytime. Remember that nothing is carved in stone, cuts do heal, memories do last, pain does pass. Make the most of every moment, every second of everyday. Enjoy everything to its fullest You can only go around in life once. Teresa

    • Close Self-Injury

      I've been injuring myself for so long I can't even remember when it started, probably when I was 10 years old. I'm 27 now and still hurt myself on a daily basis. I just wish I could stop.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I was given this for stress/anxiety. It helped me focus and eased my mood swings. The 1st week of this med was the worst though, once over that hill I felt much better.
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      I still find it difficult to express myself. But I'm trying
      Pets Working / Worked
      It's so nice to have my dogs to talk to and care for. They keep my mind off a lot of things.
      Seroquel Not Working
      Made me very tired and groggy. I slept way too much. I felt like a zombie when awake. I will never take this again!
    • Close Anxiety

      Was diagnosed with stress/anxiety a few months ago. I get horrible stress headaches, nausea and chest pains from the anxiety.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      First week was the worst, then after that everything was much better.
      Art Working / Worked
      Crafts keep my hands and mind busy. It's really calming.
