    • About Me

      I am out of work right now after quitting my job because of too much stress. I live with my brother (rent is cheaper too). My other brother passed away in 1999. I love animals, especially cats. I have 3 of them. I like to bowl and exercise when I feel up to it and I like to watch t.v. and movies.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have social phobia, GAD, anxiety dealing with getting comfortable and close to people. Also depression.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      helpful to a point. though it does make me more tired.
      BuSpar Not Working
      helped at first, but then everything got worse. it works on the serotonin and dopamine and apparently didn't help me.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      helpful to a point, though it does make me more tired.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      taking Celexa. Lexapro helps more with my anxiety and stuff but it made me physically sick so I had to go off it.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      it's hard to relax for me so meditation is hard to do.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      kind of helped in past but now I'm trying it more with tapping and emdr therapy.
    • Close Phobia
      Type: Social Phobia

      I have Social phobia and GAD plus numerous other anxieties.

      Treatments

      Acceptance Working / Worked
      I am trying emdr therapy, eft therapy by myself and accepting myself with affirmations, etc..
      Hypnotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I tried hypnotherapy but it didn't help too much because I have issues with control. With my anxiety, it is hard for me to let go of control and relax.
    • Open Shyness

      I have always been an extremely shy person--as long as I can remember. I also suffer from Social Phobia, depression.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      I have always had pets, especially cats since their potty trained and stuff. I should get a dog though, since I'd have to walk it and be outside more often.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I've been in counseling for many years. Just seems like I go round and round. Helps to talk but I still have my problems.
      EMDR Working / Worked
      Im trying it. Just need to let my feelings out!

      Treatments

      helps to a point. better to talk to someone than hold it all in.
