Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
And my throat
Is deep with song,
You do not think
I suffer afterI have held my pain
So long?
Because my …

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Since starting midnights two years ago, I've gained 60 pounds.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Not Working
- No accountability. I would eat better and then slowly go back to eating badly.
- Hoodia Not Working
- I wasn't as hungry, but didn't really lose much weight. My metabolism slowed way down when I stopped eating.
- Physical Exercise Not Working
- I exercised every day and it just made my appetite more.
- Weight Watchers Too Soon to Tell
- I lost 10 pounds the first week, but we'll see how it goes from there.
Close Healthy Relationships
I am in my second marriage of 8 years. I have four children. I work full time and am finishing a master's degree this next month. My relationship with my husband has suffered because we work opposite shifts and never see each other.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Helps me focus and think of new strategies
Open Anger Management
I have been angry since I was a teenager and would beat the garage with a broom handle. Now I am a grown adult with four children and get angry on a daily basis. Now instead of beating a garage, I say extremely hurtful things and I scream. I slam doors, I accuse and demean. Part of me thinks that my husband (the main one who angers me) deserves it, and the other thinks that I need to get a hold of myself because I'm only hurting myself and my children.I need to work this out with others.
Open Anxiety
I started having panic attacks about 8 years ago while I was going through a divorce and at a stressful job. I have gone through phases and now do not need the emergency room but call a friend instead to talk me down.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- This works along with distraction
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Zen meditation is what got me through the first year of my anxiety.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Positive thinking works if I focus on thinking something other than what is causing me anxiety.
Open Video Game Addiction
My husband is addicted to EQ2 and before that he was addicted to Magic online.
Open Obesity
I weigh 270 pounds and am desperately trying to lose 120.
