My name is Heather, I am a 32 year
old female who would like to share both my personal and professional
experiences with individuals who are afflicted or suffering from disorders
such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression, Bipolar
Disorder, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. My professional experience includes
over 7 years working as a counselor for children, teenagers, adults, and
senior citizens who were hospitalized in a psychiatric facility or
residential home. My more recent experiences have given me the
opportunity to learn about Alzheimer's Disease.
I currently work as a Clinical
Research Associate. My job is to monitor clinical drug trials for
safety before the drug is approved by the FDA. I hold a Master of
Science Degree in Psychology from Saint Joseph's University in
Philadelphia, PA.
More about me: I have
experienced depression since a young child, lived in/through a
dysfunctional family, have had several very severe major depressive
episodes since age 19, and have been diagnosed several years ago with
Bipolar Disorder. I have experienced the black holes as well as
those manic rages. Therapy and medication have enabled me to stay on
a even keel (yes, I have tried most of the psychotropic medications on the
market).
Right now, I have been having lots
of fun with friends, staying focused on my goals, and keeping my two
Siamese cats out of trouble. If you need to talk or feel a crisis
brewing, please e-mail me. If you have any non-urgent questions
about a disorder, please also feel free to e-mail. I will respond as
quickly as possible. My hours for e-mail: Wed and Friday 9-10
PM EST and Sunday 7:30-8:30 PM EST
