asked by crystaltwylyghti started on Lexapro but switched to a generic version of Celexa after a couple weeks. i was having trouble sleeping and the doctor thought Celexa would be better. i've been taking it for over a year now and i feel like it's helped me a lot.

You matter. You were made to be loved and known. Your story is important.

i have not been there but i hope to go someday. i would love to go to Jeffrey's Bay. We've had interns come from Australia and England so we would certainly welcome a South African!

Yes but i didn't finish. i was working for Quiksilver full-time as a junior and was basically given an ultimatum. i could do school or work but not both. So i dropped out halfway through my junior year. i didn't enjoy school. i was majoring in Organizational Communication at the time, mostly to avoid Calculus and Statistics. My dream back then was to work in the surf industry and i had my foot in that door with my Quiksilver job.

i think i stole it from Jon Foreman. i suppose it's an attempt at not making things about me.

It's made it personal. This stuff is not just part of the TWLOHA mission and story, it's part of my own story. i can relate to seasons of not being able to fall asleep at night and then not wanting to get out of bed the next day, i can relate to feeling stuck. And i can also speak from a place of having been to counseling and now taking anti-depressants for the first time.

Perhaps we can all relate to pain, things we want to change but don't know how, moments we get stuck in... So maybe when we struggle, we're not alone. The advice would be encouraging them to start by talking to someone, because people need other people. Beyond that, beyond just talking to a friend or someone they trust, i would encourage them to talk to a counselor, as a counselor can listen and speak from a place of wisdom, to hopefully begin to get to the heart of the matter, the source of their pain and the journey towards recovery.

Thanks. i do like that word. It just seems like things are constantly changing - you see it in nature and in weather - and i think it applies to other parts of life as well. Maybe it applies to pain and hope - this idea that things can change, that things can get better.
As for your questions, i am no good at cooking and my favorite food is sushi. -
i've been a surfer since i was a little kid. Growing up, i wanted to work in the surf industry and i ended up doing that for eight years before TWLOHA. i worked as a sub rep (or assistant sales rep) with Quiksilver for four years and then i worked as Hurley's Florida sales rep for four years - i left in July 2006 to pursue TWLOHA full-time. There were things i liked about being a sales rep and there were things i didn't. In some ways, it was a good fit and in other ways, it wasn't. i definitely learned a lot.

i actually don't read that much. It's rare that i find a book that keeps my attention. But there's been two books this year that i've really loved. Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and Patti Smith's memoir "Just Kids."
-
You're not alone. Talk to someone. i have struggled with depression for years and have found hope and help, especially over the last year, in counseling, community (friends) and also in taking anti-depressants.

Take it all in. Take walks, sit in the parks, learn the history. This place is amazing so allow yourself to be amazed. Beyond that, you will need a support system. In a city full of strangers - people everywhere all the time - you deserve some folks who actually know you, people who make time to be part of your story.

Don't worry so much. Don't be afraid.

i just got back from Australia and on my last day there, i went to Noosa - it's a couple hours north of the Gold Coast and it's a beautiful place. i took this long walk before dark, through the woods and along the beach and i'll never forget it.
And then this week, back in NYC, Spring is happening and it's just gorgeous here right now. i've been taking walks almost every day and i think i appreciate walking in the City even more after being away from it. So i guess my answer is both. The buzz will make you appreciate the quiet and vice-versa. i'm a fan of contrast and i think balance is this great mystery that we're all after. And maybe we see it in the seasons as well - we appreciate Spring because we've been through Winter.
It just hit me that this is a long answer to a very simple question : ) -

i love my Dad. He is one of my best friends. i am a surfer and i love music and i love to write and he introduced me to all of those things. The list goes on. He introduced me to life on the road. More importantly, i grew up incredibly loved and i am part of a very special family and who he is has so much to do with those things.

Polish indeed. My Dad's grandparents came from Poland in 1907.

i was born in Morehead City, North Carolina and lived in Emerald Isle, NC until i was five. From five on, i grew up in Melbourne Beach, Florida - just a few miles south of Sebastian Inlet in a neighborhood called Melbourne Shores. Beach at one end of the street, River at the other and we built forts in the whispering pines. It was a great place to grow up.
