Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've dealt with depression on and off for about 15 years, and I survived a suicide attempt four years ago. Things have improved a lot lately, but I still have occasional relapses that I have to keep close watch on.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- I'm back on cymbalta and I'll probably be on it for life. Nothing has worked as well as this stuff. Two things - the withdrawal symptoms if you miss a dose can be pretty intense AND mixing it with alcohol is a hard-core no-no. I always have a depression relapse if I have a few drinks.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- TONS of energy when I work out regularly. Plus, I feel like I'm accomplishing something, which helps me feel better about myself in general.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Happy thoughts seem so cliche'd but...really. Affirming my abilities and skills really seems to help.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Things between my folks and I have improved a great deal and that helps. My brother and I talk a lot. I have friends who understand depression and are willing to listen.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Getting my jumbled thoughts on paper helps me problem solve and be honest with myself.
Close Celiac Disease
I've been having nothing but problems with my stomach for a little over two years. My skin was dry, my hair was falling out and I had zero energy EVER. I finally went to the doctor and suggested he test me for celiac along with a thousand other things, and hot dog, celiac was the culprit.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Considering
- I avoid MSG, because you can never tell what it's made with. I don't know if it's helping.
- Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
- OH MAN. It works. The results were almost immediate. I'm still fine tuning it, but I'm so glad I figured this out. It took me a while to get over not being able to have some of my favorite foods, but the results are worth it.
Open Female Sexual Issues
I'm disinterested in actual sexual acts. A lot of times I don't even like kissing or touching. This has been going on my whole life, but it's gotten more severe. Talked to my doctor about it and he said I should wait 'til I get a ring anyway. HA!!
Open Organ Transplants
Types: Kidney (Renal)Donated my kidney to my mother and her health has improved 100 fold. Even so, we were unaware of the psychological impact of the transplant. I think it's important for people to be fully aware of what they're getting into. Even so, I don't regret it.
Open Career Changes
Got a degree in psychology. Not passionate about it at........all. Coasted for a bit. Suddenly realized that my interest in biology and working in laboratories shouldn't be ignored. Planning on enrolling for a second degree for the Fall of 2009 or Spring 2010.
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Maintain a workout scheduleI'm attempting to lose that last 20 pounds. I tend to go through these phases where I love exercise and never miss it. Then I fall into a rut.
Treatments
- Cycling Too Soon to Tell
- I got my bike fixed recently, but I'm still too nervous to try it out on the open road.
- Weight Training Working / Worked
- I just do free weights. It's amazing how quickly you can see improvement.
- Walking Working / Worked
- Its easy and it burns calories. Its just hard to stay motivated when you gotta walk for so darn long.
