About Me
Christian, single, lost my parents at different times when I was young. Currently live with my brother who's both a comfort and a source of my problems at times *chuckle*. I'm in Customer Service - it's been my profession for nearly 20 years. Job is UBER stressful right now.

Support Groups
Close Panic Attacks
Diagnosed with Depression/Anxiety back in 1994 - suffer from panic attacks as well. I hate them VERY much and wish I would never had another one again.
Treatments
- Paxil Working / Worked
- First medicine ever given for depression. It seemed to work well with tolerable side effects.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Use it as a "security blanket" only when I can't calm down from a PA
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Have taken it for nearly 6 years. At the moment it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to...
Close Abstinence & Celibacy
I am, quite literally, a 40-year-old virgin. I am saving myself for marriage if God has that in His plans for me!
Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
I was dianosed with CTS back in 1996. I've never been treated and I admit if it IS really CTS (I've only had the one diagnosis) it's getting worse
Open Financial Challenges
I chose to be in debt - I say this because I continue to do things that are costing me and yet I don't change my ways. I live with and basically support my brother who is an alocholic trying to reform.
Treatments
- Credit Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- It was ok. But at the time I had to pay more than I felt I could.
- Filing for Bankruptcy Considering
- I started to file at one point but backed down.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI'm currently trying CBT and doing VERY well with it.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Helping me to understand why I panic and how to change my thinking!
- Cymbalta Not Working
- I HATED it. Would sweat something horrible and my BP was too elevated for my comfort.
- Meditation Not Working
- I'm a die-hard realist. It's hard for me to picture myself in a happy place when I'm not happy!
- Paxil Working / Worked
- My first anti-D for depression. It worked very well and I was on it for almost 5 years.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I should practice this more with CBT. It does work well.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Hard to always chronicle my thoughts even though I love to write.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Been on this for 5 years - overall it's done very well for me.
