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 so impressed with the knowledge that is obvious in most of the postings..... who are you all ? where are you from? .... what is your background..?

> I would love to know backgrounds of regular Posters (if you get my meaning).... guess curiosity is a big part of my character.
