Hello everyone,
I finally figured out how to write a message! My name is Shelly. I am 31 and a mother of 3 beautiful daughters and i'm married to a TERRIFIC man! So, why am I on here if my life is so great? That is a good question. I have been suffering from manic depression for 12 years now, and was recently diagnosed w/ OCD. I spend everyday trying to get my mind to slow down. I have days where if it weren't for my kids, i wouldn't leave the bed. My husband tries his best to understand, but,sometimes he gets so mad!! I blow up at everything..and i feel so bad that my children do not have the mother they deserve sometimes. Here it is the beginning of summer, and I couldn't be more miserable. I am not looking forward to going outside and having fun. I don't want to leave the house!! I have a bad habit of starting on my meds. taking them until i feel better, and then like a fool..going off of them. My doctor has suggested that I go on disability but, i don't know. I feel like i'll be an "outcast" to society and like i'll be even more worthless than i am feeling right now. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!
