Open Eating Disorders
Have been a compulsive overeater most of my adult life ! I am a OA 12 step member and this program has given me mu sanity back just for today if I choose to malk the walk ! It is a disease that can kill one if left to our own thinking and actions

- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- The food is the symptom therapy helps with the real problem !!!
Open Food Addiction
OA works if you work the program. I know, from years of painful denial that my addiction, when I relapse, leads me to terminal unhappiness and eventually death... At 54, I have struggled all mt adult life with the demons of Compuslive Overeating. There is no cure , just a daily return to sane thinking about eating and the practice thereof.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
- It works , if you work it
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionIn the past was diagnosed with aggitated depression and took paxil and welbrutin for it. I haven't used either now for almost 5 years , but recently have found some of the symptons returning .
Treatments
- Paxil Working / Worked
- it did help, and was addictive when I weaned myself off it after 7 years
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I am BIG BELIEVER in it. If we don't deal with our feelings, usually by therapy, than our feelings will deal with us.
