Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionEverything was going well, then I just fell apart. And everything fell apart around me too. My friends left. My employer fired me. My family was not available. I felt like I was falling with no safety net and noone even noticed. I'm working on climbing out of the hole which is depression. It's tough, but I'm trying.
Treatments

- It works, but slowly.
- Cymbalta Not Working
- It worked, then it stopped.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Sometimes.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked

Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaI've struggled with this all of my life (I'm 30 now). It's not about food or weight for me, it's about gaining control over my life when I don't have control over anything. There's something very addictive about that and when it takes hold, it's tough to stop.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Still trying.

Open Codependency

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I've suffered both physical and emotional abuse. Even when you know what it is, that doesn't mean you can protect yourself from its impact.
Open Shyness
I have always been really shy. I'm an introvert, not an extrovert and no matter how hard I try, and I can't change that fact. My therapist has suggested to me that being shy is not a bad thing, it's just something that makes me who I am. I like that thought...
Treatments

- Pets Working / Worked
- You can't beat unconditional love!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
I come from a long line of alcoholics. Growing up, I had no idea that it was a problem in my family or that it had any effect on me. Now I'm learning more.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Working / Worked
- I just started. I think it's working. At least its nice to talk to other people who understand where I'm coming from.
