My name is Jeannette French 27 years old. I have PTSD which at one point was taking my life. I had a traumatic past and coped by eating. I wasn't obese until I was put on different kinds of meds to help with my disorder. As I was spirling downward I ate more and exercised less. I was into sports while in school. I could say I was very athletic. Not a toned body, but gifted in basketball anyhow. I wasn't put on meds until after high school, and the weight grew so fast that before I knew it I was 100 lbs overweight. No longer able to play sports if I wanted to. I have had 2 right knee surgeries and cortizone shots in my hip joint. In the past 2 years I have mentally got myself stable. I think able to get out in the workforce again. At least try... but now the weight is such a problem that I can not stand or walk any longer than like 5 minutes. On a side note I do not drive, because the fear of it. My problem I believe as it stands now is weight and driving. Once I master the last 2 remaining obsticals I believe the possibilities are endless. No longer will I be bound by fear and weight. No longer in the shadows hiding in darkness and clothes. I see the first daylight and see it widening. I am beginning to dream.
In the process at OHSU. Hoping getting scheduled for NP and dietiction any day. Last thing on my end is my psych eval on jan 8th.
then probably lots of waiting lol
