Moment of Peace
busy!! just kicked out my roomate who i was renting my 4th bdroom to. he was getting on my nerves and i think needs a new psychiatrist. gee....! and after all he put me thru (and i've tried so hard to help him) the last day he was here he stated that he felt sorry for us because he was tryin to HELP US and felt we "just don't want help". uhh...sure...especially since he was the one who called me needing a place to go since he got kicked out of his last place and then ended up back in jail, and then kicked out of the place he was living after gettin out of jail!!! now i know why he keeps gettin kicked out! well, like i said, he needs help from a new psych, but that's his problem. there's only so much i can do! gosh, he caused so much drama here, we are still getting over it even tho' he's now gone. then yesterday my car was towed right out from under my feet because of an expired safety sticker! bastard cop! all i had was one more part to get for the car and that would be it, but they just don't wait and went ahead and towed it! i went thru hell tryin to get it back and then to find someone who would get me a safety inspection before closing of business! ahhh!!! i was gonna pull my hair out by the time i got home last night!!! but... i'm tryin to chill today. well, i'll talk to you later!

Hi, welcome to the self-injury support group. I must say, you do well to cut as seldom as you do.

Support Groups
Close Hiatal Hernia
abby80 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Close Painful Intercourse
abby80 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Treatments
- Anafranil Working / Worked
- I've been on this since I was ten years old. At first it helped a lot. I've adjusted my dosage over the years and even tried to go off it. I hate the side effects, but my OCD completely overruns my life when I am on a low dosage.
Open Sciatica
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Not Working
- Medrol Not Working
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
Open Migraine Headaches
I get severely debilitating migraines. I've had to call in sick to work and leave work because of them. I do believe they're related to my tmj because I carry so much tension in my jaw, temples, neck and shoulder. I grind my teeth very badly in my sleep. The pain is so bad it hurts just to blink my eyes or lay my head on a soft pillow. I've been getting migraines since I was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Treatments
- Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
- Excedrin Working / Worked
- I take these all the time, which I know is not good. When I feel a slight headache coming on I take excedrin because I'm afraid it will become a full blown migraine and when I'm at work I just can't take that chance.
- Inderal Working / Worked
- This has reduced the frequency of my migraines big time, but I still get them. Sometime they flare up and I get them every day like I used to, before being on the propranolol. I do think it's helped though. I started on propranolol a few years ago because I was getting them every day and just couldn't function.
Open Bipolar Disorder
I am joining this community because I think my fiance has bipolar disorder. He hasn't been diagnosed but has many of the symptoms. I want to help him find a good psychiatrist and get on medication.
Open Family & Friends of Bipolar
I highly suspect my fiance has bipolar disorder. It runs in his family and he has many of the symptoms. He hasn't been diagnosed yet or started treatment, but I want to help him do this.
Open Chronic Pain
I have moderate sclerosis of one of the facet joints in my back and scoliosis. This causes bad hip pain and sciatic pain. It's pretty constant and the only way to escape it is to sleep all the time.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- This never seemed to help my hip pain, but I do think it helped my back.
- Heat Not Working
- I used to use those thermacare heat pads, but they actually made my pain worse.
- Marijuana Somewhat Helpful
- This certainly relaxes me, but sometimes I actually feel like it makes it worse somehow. One time after I smoked my back muscles tensed up so bad it was horrible. My fiance had to rub my back just to get it to stop spasming.
- Meditation Not Working
- Maybe I haven't given this enough of a chance, but I've tried guided imagery and imaging the healing color blue and blue healing threads being woven through my body where it hurts.. none of it helped.
- Naproxen Not Working
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- I've been to PT a few times, but it never really helped. That's my fault though because I never really stuck to the exercises that well, I just get discouraged too quickly.
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- This feels very good while it's on you, but I never had any lasting effect from it.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaI've been anorexic off and on for seven years. Currently I am separated from my fiance and have fallen back into starving myself. All the depression and stress has been such a huge trigger.

i used to cut myself with steak knives when i was a teenager (occasionally i pinched or bit myself). it felt could and it was a way of externalizing my pain. it was like a release and it really calmed me down when i was upset. i didn't cut for years and then my mom and i had a fight and i cut. then i didn't cut for another few years, but my boyfriend and i had a fight and my parents were fighting so i cut again. that was three years ago and it was the last time.
