My name is Michelle. So I will just get right down to it. I am 29 years old. I am clinically depressed, have mild tourettes syndrome, ADHD, mild OCD and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am not a happy person anymore because my mom died 7 years ago of lung cancer. I don't believe in any religion so it makes it even extra hard to come to terms with this. I live in Alberta now for the past 3 years and my whole family lives in Ontario. I lost my car, and license for being an idiot. I have my license back now just need a car. My dad is not supportive anymore because hes sick and tired of listening to me complain. My husband im sure is probably getting to that point too. Thankfully I don't have kids yet so they aren't subjected to my depression. I am 100 pounds overweight too. I used to be very active and thin up until my mom died. I was also very down to earth and very fun to be around and happy. This really sucks, it totally steals your life away. I went to see a psychologist for the past year once a month and it didn't do anything. The whole time it was me complaining while she listened. I understand you have to get to know the client but that process shouldn't be right through to all of the sessions. Eventually there needs to be goals that the client needs to work towards. Oh well. I just graduated from my Social Work course and hopefully getting a job with the Government of Alberta (we will see how the interview goes.) So those are the fun things I have been dealing with.
