What everyone Should Know About Me

[clarasmommy08]

Well, since all of you already know my name im just gonna skip that part. I have a daughter, she is now 13 months old. She was born feb 4th 2008 at 36 weeks, which is a tad bit early but not much. I was a single parent through my pregnancy and off and on during the first year of claras life(all with her father of course), On Jan 17th 2009 mine and my daughters life changed drastically. At around 111pm we received a call saying that Claras father (my boyfriend.... yeah we were dating at the time) had got into a car accident.... he did not make it. My daughter is young enough to where she doesn't really know the difference, but i am still feeling horrible pain, guilt and regret from it, even though it has been 2 months. Apparently the grieving process takes a year. Anyway... I have 2 sisters, both of them older then me. they each have a daughter of their own, and they are seriously little brats. I live with my grandmother (my mother died when i was 5), and one of my sisters, her husband and my niece, along with my daughter of course. I have 1 cat named Star. I am going to college right now to get my degree in Human Services-Counseling. I am attending the University of Phoenix Online... its a great school btw. I do not have a job and i can not have one due to my anxiety right now. In the future i am hoping to overcome that fear. I also suffer from severe depression. I know i will probably never overcome that, but i am working on ways to help it. I also have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Which means that i am prone to my good days and bad days... just like everyone else, but mine are a bit more intense. I also know that this is something i will always live with and can not change, but i am taking medication to try to overcome it, or at least learn to deal with it better.  I have just started a new medication though, so its gonna be about 5 more weeks before i see results. I am a very fun person to be around. I love to shop, i love to dance, and sing, i love to take pictures, and i like to "hang out". I do not like people who talk crap behind peoples back because i believe that, that is childish, and i am past that stage. I do not like people who act like friends for one minute and then completely ignore you the next. So.. yes this is me, my daughter comes first before anything else in my life. EVERYONE should know that... but yeah ok im done ranting now. Just wanted to let you guys know a bit about me.
