Everything you said makes total sense to me. It felt like you were inside my mind. It's such a relief to find others, the loneliness is tolerable knowing that really, I am not utterly alone. Thanks so much. I wish for you the peace and tranquility of normal life, even if just for a few moments. The moments are what make existence bearable.

I’m With You
Seriously, I thought that I was reading one of my entries. I cry over everything, literally, even spilled milk. You are not alone!

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Almost four years of a stupid angry and generally abusive relationship have come to a fiery end. ALMOST A YEAR FREE OF HIM!! I am ready to share my excitement and encouragement with everyone who needs a boost!!
Treatments
- Art Somewhat Helpful
- I am an artist and have always taken refuge in my work. I didn't do any artwork for over a year because of that relationship...
- Leave Not Working
- FINALLY WORKED! 2 phone number changes, an email change and a myspace/facebook change finally got him off my back. he has absolutely no way of contacting me unless he showed his face and it would be blown off immediately.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I was told to focus on myself an my own needs/wants/dreams but he HATED that. I needed to work on treating HIM better he said... All therapists I saw were baffled by my relationship, because he wanted me to get help but sabotaged any progress I made.
- Running Somewhat Helpful
- I didn't even have the energy to leave the house anymore...
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I kept making excuses for him.
Close Anxiety
I have always been type A, nervous, hyperactive. I was put on ritalin in first grade and from then on I began to ask my teachers if I was good at the end of every single day. Since then I have been desperate for approval. beginning to get myself back bit by bit and not worry so friggin much. Had anxiety attacks for a while but not anymore. still antsy at times, have butterflies in my stomach.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- deep-seated yoga breathing is good
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- helps- main thing with anxiety is to REMEMBER to breathe. Then you're on your way!
- Lexapro Not Working
- see paxil oh and no sex drive. worker-bee complex
- Paxil Not Working
- when i took it i was a walking zombie and would pass out as soon as my legs were out from underneath me, whether it be on a bus, in a plane, talking to someone in a car, waiting at the doctor's office...
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- works sometimes but can't mask how much your life may suck and the actions you need to take to correct it
- Valium Working / Worked
- wooooo took this one time before going to the dentist (i hate needles but they gave me that too because i was looooopy) it's fuuuun. but not for me.
Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)I've always been kind of a dramatic perfectionist. Got bored with all the guys I've dated and switched my career ideas a few times (interior decorator, paleontologist, biologist/ecologist, artist, special needs worker- all connected in my opinion), but just saw myself as a very energetic and creative individual who expected too much of herself. I was just diagnosed with BPD and although I saw it coming I was still devastated..

Open Financial Challenges
I didn't have a credit card until I met my now ex abusive boyfriend. I hate credit cards and never wanted one, always told myself that if I didn't have the cash, then I had no business buying/doing things. This guy put me into instant debt when we moved to Dallas; we fought constantly and I used money to make up for a lot of things, including lost time and earning back his love. Now I am on the verge of bankruptcy and have 4 credit cards charged to the limit as well as student and car loans.
Treatments
- Budgeting Too Soon to Tell
- Finally doing my OWN budgeting, not letting him do it. Cuz well, I left the bastard.
- Credit Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- Working with someone now.
- Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
- It worked until I went back to him FOR A THIRD TIME and had to scrounge up cash to just LIVE.
- Debt Consolidation Too Soon to Tell
- See Credit Counseling.
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- Of course it works; helps if you can find a job you'll keep for longer than a month...
Open Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective DisorderMy mother is clinically depressed and so is my sister. Dad's never been diagnosed but I'm sure he has a touch of it too. I consider myself a positive person but I get DOWN a lot...I like to think it's circumstantial.
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- Lexapro Not Working
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Usually mind races too much. I know you know what I mean when I say I don't have the energy sometimes to meditate.
- Paxil Not Working
- Slept all day; took it for panic attacks
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- When you know your financial situation is pretty bleak, it's hard to be all THAT positive...
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I was in an abusive relationship and so my counseling was pretty much a waste of money. Now I am seeking help alone and am hopeful.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Talking to my sister definitely helps. We make each other laugh.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Why the hell is this stuff on the market?
- Writing Not Working
- It helps to get it out but I have to train myself not to read it when I have episodes just to make myself cry harder
Open Healthy Sex
Don't know how to feel about sex at this point in my life; going thru a self-imposed period of celibacy. Have gone about sex in inappropriate ways in the past (drunken or unsafe, multiple partners, making up, etc.)
Treatments
- Patience Too Soon to Tell
- we'll see how this goes...hey I waited til I was 17 and that's more than some people can say.
Open Eczema
so i found out what i have is called nummular eczema and although eczema and psoriasis can exist simultaneously, i'm pretty sure i don't have psoriasis. so i'm moving here from the psoriasis group. HI!
Treatments

- Evening Primrose Oil Working / Worked
