    • Close Depression

      I had a car accident, just over 8 years ago which left me with problems with my back and neck. As a result I went from being a very active outgoing person to someone totally opposite. I became extremely depressed. Like many of you, I'm sure, I didn't want to live anymore. But I have kids and there was and is NO way on earth I am leaving them. It's only now that I feel like I'm getting through it. There are still days when I can't face people, but we all have those.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      I was told about this by my psychiatrist, who said he would get my an appointment BUT never did. So I went onto the web and found a psychiatrist doing a free course on the web. It helped me a lot.
      Meditation Not Working
      I found that I fell asleep a lot and I'm not sure if it did work.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      This is extremely hard. I have tried many different ways of positive thinking. The hardest is standing in front of a mirror saying to yourself ' I like myself'. A good 1 is to have a good (note pad) and write ONLY good thinks people have said to you. I don't do this one anymore because I felt low when I looked at it and so only 4 thinks were said to me in 3 months and they were mainly from my mother and father.
      Writing Not Working
      I use to keep a journal but my husband read it and laughed. He thought it was funny the pain I was feeling so I don't keep one anymore.
    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Not Working
      At the time we tried this I was extrememly bad with depression and didn't trust anyone. It took me along time till I thought I could trust these people. One day I turned to my husband and ssid I think I can trust them and will start talking. We never went again. He didn't want to. So I really don't know what the outcome would of been.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I love my animals alot but I am affraid of how I am going to manage when my husband leaves me in summer.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have back and neck injury and have put on over 42lbs over the years. My hub hates me for being this weight. With everything that has happened over the years he has told me that he doesn't love me and he wants to leave. I have been trying to lose weight since I had an accident 8 years ago. I don't have any support from hub, he goes out and buys me chocolate. MY weakness.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Working / Worked
      this was great for me and i soon lost some weight. but came of it and now i am even heavier.
      Counting Calories Working / Worked
      it certainly helped keeping a food diary, but a certain person in the house would work against me.
      Eat Less Not Working
      the only problem with this is I was eating the wrong kind of food.
      Herbalife Working / Worked
      it was hard and i did lose some weight, but it was soon put back on. can't do it again.
      Hoodia Not Working
      Rubbish. The slim-fast was better.
      Slim-Fast Not Working
      rubbish. certainly didn't work for me.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      this did work, but cost ££'s even if you don't go.
