Close Scoliosis
When I was 12, I got a spinal fusion. Two metal rods were placed in my spine. I am sixteen and I have difficulty with certain things now, but I must overcome that.
Treatments
- Harrington Rods Working / Worked
- They do work, but I have pain every day. I don't think the pain's from the rods, but from the damage my spine had already caused. I am to feel this pain for the rest of my life.
- Spinal Fusion Somewhat Helpful
- It's keeping me alive, keeping my lungs from collapsing, but I was told I'll be in pain for the rest of my life.
- Surgery Somewhat Helpful
- You see, it's only helpful because it's what's keeping me alive. It's depressing me because my spine will be in pain forever though.
Close Depression - Teen
I hate to be a downer, but things never go my way, and it really hurts. Everything always goes wrong, and I've tried to help myself. Nobody else has been able to help me either, because I'm not so understandable to others. They leave me because they say I'm surrounded by misfortunes. My old friends left me.
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- I play the violin and study classical music and its composers. It makes me very happy to play in the orchestra at school. Right now, it seems like the only thing that's making me happy.
- Pets Not Working
- This is not working because my dog attacks me and punctures my skin whenever I get close to anyone. He hates me and loves to protect anyone I may be trying to talk to, hug, or hand something to. He is a nasty dog, especially to me.
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- I've tried to have a positive attitude, but there are too many things bringing me down.
- Writing Not Working
- Writing doesn't give me therapy, it only helps me remember the hurtful things... Even when I write about happy things, I can't help but feel sad about the pages before.
Open Back Pain
I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis three years ago. I went to my check up a little while ago and the doctor told me that my horrible back pain will last forever. I'm only fifteen, and this makes me severely unhappy.
Treatments
- Relaxation Not Working
- Even resting doesn't take away my pain.
- Stretching Not Working
- When I stretch, my back just hurts more.
Open Bereavement - Teens
My father died when I was five. I am sixteen, and so far this year, eight people have died. I'm tired of losing everyone... My sister recently left the family home. My mother tries to take it out on me sometimes.. My friends leave me, saying I'm surrounded by death. They are afraid of me. They are afraid of the kind of things that happen to me. Nobody pays me any mind.
Treatments
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- It helps me more to make something of myself, but it doesn't take away the pain of death or loss.
- Music Working / Worked
- I live my life through music. It still doesn't take away what death brings, but it helps.. I love my violin and writing classical music.
- Pets Not Working
- My dog punctures my skin. He only protects my mother, who shows him more love than she shows to me. I hate my dog, honestly.
- Remembering Not Working
- It doesn't matter whether I remember or not. It still hurts. And as time goes by, it hurts more because day by day, I forget a little more. I don't think I want to forget
Open Chronic Pain
I had a spinal fusion three years ago. I'm fifteen, and I have been told that I will have this pain forever. It's never stopped and it never will.
Open Families & Friends of Gays & Lesbians
There isn't really a story. I support my homosexual and bisexual friends and family.
Open Loneliness
I really don't have anything to say; there just is virtually nobody helping me through life - there's nobody telling me that I am able of anything, nobody telling me that they care.
