Close Hypothyroidism
Wow where do I begin? Here is the short version. I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (hypothyroidsim) after being misdiagnosed 2 times. It has been a struggle ever since. It took about a year to get my medication levels right. I've been in and out of hospitals quite a few times because of thyroid/medication related problems.
Treatments

- After finally getting the level right, it seems to be working just fine. I just have to remind myself to take it. This medicine is literally the reason I do not fall asleep wherever I stand.

I have done many means of self-harm, including pinching, scratching, cutting, and punching. I've been clean since December 6, 2007.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- Kind of worked. Nice to have other people to talk to, but too much to keep up with.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Kathy is amazing. Period.

Open ADHD / ADD
I've been diagnosed with ADD since I was 7 years old. I've been on the same medication since the first day I was diagnosed. It is a daily struggle and without my medication I do not function well. My twin brother has ADHD and my father has ADD. I'm sure my sister has ADHD as well, but is undiagnosed at this time.

I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Phenomenon just a year ago. It is connected to my thyroid disease. I do not have to take any medicine just yet because my case is not severe enough.

Treatments
