Hi Dana,

I am a part-time teacher who is in training
to be a hypnotherapist. The people on this
website have very good insight into
themselves. I hope you enjoy it as much
as I do.

What an interesting line of inquiry!

I'm 52, single, no kids, homeowner, have dogs and cats. Although I had my first (and worst) depressive breakdown in my 20's (hospitalization, psychtherapy, no medication), I went on through years of chronic depression and what I can now identify as periods of hypomania, to establish myself as a successful landscape designer and contractor. But the stress of it all finally sent me crashing 9 years ago. I kept plugging away at my work (no cushion to fall back on) until I had to go on disability for a few years. I just can't seem to regain the ability, or motivation, to run my own business well anymore, despite 8 years of productive, creative work with 2 good pdocs. I am BP II.

So now, I'm working at a nursery (plant type) part-time and doing some consulting/design part-time. If I could afford it, I would just work at the nursery- I love it. Having the nerve to make this change, which could look like a step backward, is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Running my own business was stimulating and challenging to me for almost 20 years, and then it became a stressful, isolating burden. Now I'm trying something new and it is boosting my morale.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where we take good food and ridiculous prices for granted. I was born in Washington, D.C., where we took National Monuments and politics for granted, was a teen-ager in the Los Angeles area (teen-agers take everything for granted), and lived for a few years in Vermont, where winter was the big thing.

Longest answer yet, but I'm the oldest, and we middle-agers do tend to ramble on.

Good wishes to all,
Cece

(sigh) Hi Dana,
I'm 29. SWF. Mother of 2. My daughter is 9. My son is 7.5 months. Come from a long line of...unstable individuals. My Grandmother has been hospitalized several x (she see's things that aren't there,etc.). She's afraid of people & goes out of her home 2 times per year (if that).My Mom & her 3 sisters have all been or are currently medicated for anxiety/depression,etc. My Dad talked my mom out of taking meds. when I was a baby b/c he believes they're band-aids & don't really help. I grew up in a disfuntional home (who didn't?). Mother depressed/ rage-aholic. No drug or alcohol abuse in the home but verbal, mental & physical abuse ran rampid behind closed doors. Father was a work-aholic. When he was home, he was usually repromanding us for what ever upset Mom during the week. I have a brother that is 2 years older. He's a career criminal. Lots of juvenile crap, his first 'pen bit was 4 shooting an unknown homosexual "just to see what it was like". Fortunately the guy lived. He was shot once in each shoulder & @ the base of the neck. There's still a piece of shrapnel that cannot be surgically removed @ the base of his neck. The crime was pre-meditated the target was 'just there'. He got off attempt murder b/c he had a good LIAR. He claims to have only wanted to shoot tail lights out of cars & to be high on various drugs @ the time. They forgot to mention he sawed off the shot gun 5 minutes before putting shoe polish on his face & leaving the house. Neglected to state that he was a trophy winning shooting range cadet in air cadets when he was little. He was 18 when he threw his life away. He has been in & out of prison on various assaults, thiefts ,etc. He's a coconut(cocaine junkie). I don't associate w/him. Me...I was taken away from parents @ 13b/c of abuse issues. Juggled from foster home 2 foster home . Abused in care (by brother sexually, by foster parents emotionally/verbally,etc.). Chronic runner. To this day parents claim I ran away 2 children's aid, was not aprehended for anything they did wrong,hmmmmm? I was born in Ontario, Canada. Raised in Wpg, Manitoba. Lived in SEVERAL cities across canada since 17 yrs.old. Her's the juicy stuff. I've had 4 changes of I.D. because of a stalker. He unlawfully confined me for 9 hours & tortured me beyond belief during that time. He claims if he can't have me no one will. No, I'm not in witness protection, I wouldn't co-operate w/police out of stupidity & fear for my daughter's life. One of the arresting officers Stalked me after my release from hosp. & women's shelter & sexually assaulted me. There was an internal invest. but the investigators convinced me not to press charges as it would be too difficult 4 me to go through 2 trials @ once (I'm sure they had MY best interest @ heart). The officer received a repromand.I've been running ever since ... It goes much deeper but I'm skimming for y'all. I've legally changed I.D.'s 3x & went underground 4 a year waiting 4 the govn't to lift a moratorium on the process of securing an unlinked I.D.My cousin commited suicide 2 yrs ago. She was taking anti-depressants. My family has dis-owned me for various reasons. I wasn't supposed 2 let then in on any of the id things but, I did...I couldn't bear the thought of them thinking I was dead. Well, should've left it @ them thinking I was dead b/c that's how I'm viewed. Blood isn't thicker than water in my family. Fear of the unknown particularly my situation with the stalker is not the least of which. Dis - belief in the whole ordeal. Even though they eithere saw my magled body after of saw copies of charge papers...My life seems like a bad movie. No - one can have that much bad luck,right? What ever. (sigh) I didn't have a crimminal record up until 2 months or so ago. I'm facing thieft under $5000.00 x 2 for events I have NO recollection of. (more details in previous posts). This is the first time I've actualy stuck it out with meds. & this is the ummm, thanks I get,hmmm? That's a whole other story though. I have PTSD, & post pardom depression. I'm getting assessed for the first time in 10 years by a psychiatrist on the 5th. I'm commit phobic. Haven't laid down serious roots EVER. I'm a wreck.I have serious trust issues. I pray each day my kids don't aquire mental issues. I wonder what kind of an example they see in me. I'm an awesome Mom-most of the time. Sometimes I see the rage-aholic (my mom) come out in me. Family, I wish my babies had extended family. I'm all they have. It saddens me to see my daughter long for a father she'll never know.(between us, she's the product of a rape)...Her little face drops when other kids brag about their Grandma's & Grandpa's. Well, I'm depressing myself here. I'm sure Im not putting smiles on anyone elses face. Sorry. At this piont in my life there aren't many Uplifting thoughts. My children are my life.

What a life. . .What I see shining through is that statement, "I'm an awesome mom." I know what that means, and I know how focusing on my kids in the end helped save me. You both have a blessing and are a blessing, which is our best real chance at redemption, it really can and does lift those of us with abusive childhoods to a new life, to parent our kids differently.

And I see your sense of irony, sense of humor, which is another immense saving grace. Hope you'll continue to share how it goes for you, I know there's lots of us here who'd like to help in any way we can, even if only by caring about you.

Love & Admiration,
Zo

Hi,
I am 42 years old, married, with two daughters aged 10 and 14. I live in California in south Orange County. (Yes, I used to work at Disneyland!)

I attended Cal State Fullerton and I have a masters degree in Art. I attempted to get a degree in Art Therapy from Cal State L. A. a few years ago, but I didn't complete the program. (Very few jobs available.)

My 10-year-old has been taking Paxil since she was 5 1/2. (She had a year of play therapy before we were referred to the psychiatrist.) That was my introduction to the wide world of mental health and the idea that there is help for people in need.

I take Effexor XR for recurrent depression, but it also helps me with anxiety and OCD. I've also read a lot of Dr. David Burns' work, and guess what? I'm going to be on an infomercial about Feeling Good. It will air in the fall. It is kind of neat but way embarrassing too.

I am totally gobsmacked !!........I don't even know what to say to you that just wouldn't sound lame... all I can offer you is that I HEAR you and hope that you can get all the help you deserve. I am about 15,000 kilometers away from you, and so can only extend to you my words.
What a hard road you have travelled, and yet you still managed to share yourself with a perfect stranger..... thank you for your trust. Your children are you life, that is so true.... but please remember, you and your family have suffered from a GENETIC illnesses.....and have lived in DENIAL........you at least have acknowledged it, so maybe that's half the battle.
Help is there, and even though I have only been using this site for around TWO WEEKS, it has helped me enormously, so please keep posting.

Thanx. I started crying reading kristi's post & by the time I finished your's Dana I had a puddle on my keybord (sniff). I have only been here for a few weeks myself. I feel semi - safe confiding in y'all b/c of the anonymity of it all. Mind you , I'm no fool. I know all too well if there's a wire leading 2 it, it can be infiltrated (Human Resources Development Canada had a couple of unauthorized accesses to my SIN) I guess I'm trusting that I'm relatively safe posting here.
It's funny, I used to listen to peoples crappy sob stories & @ one point (way back when?) hearing others troubles made my life seem like a walk in the park. Well, I hope in reading my crappy sob story, You don't feel sorry 4 me, but feel better about the direction of your lives. Thanx 4 listening. Thanx 4 caring. Brightest Blessings.

Hi to everyone. I'm married, 2 daughters - 11 & 17, live in Northern Virginia. Have a degree in social work, but when I burnt out from that, went to school for interior design (my true passion) and have been doing that off and on since. I also do free-hand decorative painting. My family and I have moved around alot- N.Y. (Long Island), Philadelphia, Dallas, even Sydney,Australia for a year. (Loved it there- you Aussies are so lucky to call Australia home, IMO.)
Mental illness is rampant in my family; mother & brother committed suicide. Paternal grandmother spent most of her adult life in institutions. I just lost my older brother (age 48) last week, not to suicide, unless you consider long term self destructive behavior as suicide. I'm still stunned by his death.
Yo-wazzzup - you are a shining example of the best in the human spirit. An inspiration. When you get down, try to remember the confidence we all have in you.

I'm not really a regular poster because I happen to be in a bit of remission from anxiety and depression, but I read the board a lot. I am a 32 year old married mother of two daughters ages 6 and 9. I work 3 days a week in a pediatric hospital, where I work as a medical technologist (lab tech with a B.S. degree). I also like to sit by my garden pond (hence the name Waterlily) sew, garden, fiddle around with my saltwater aquarium, and ice skate.
