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.

Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

In 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.
