  • Support Groups

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've been trying get better with depression for the past 5 years, and I'm beginning to think maybe it's chronic and may never go away. Maybe it's genetic; mother has it, and so does my sister. I've tried antidepressants, and counseling and so far...not helping. I'd like to see what an online support group such as this is like. I often feel like no one gets it and I'm alone, even though I know I'm not, I still feel that way.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      Started with 10mg and went up to 40mg. I never really noticed a difference. Currently weaning off of it and maybe why I'm having panic attacks right now.
      Effexor Not Working
      It was very hard to wean off of.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Was the first one I tried, and it didn't work.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I try, but find it difficult to stick with when depression/anxiety fills your mind with negativity.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      It was good to talk to an objective professional, and that helped I think. But she didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. I also don't have enough money to keep going with it in case it does work.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      They do their best and are sometimes helpful. I am still left feeling like they don't really understand. Sometimes they think it's something you just snap out of.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      It helps get thoughts out of my head.
    • Close Anxiety

      Seems to go hand in hand with my depression. It's a vicious cycle of anxiety making me feel more depressed, and the more depressed I am the more anxious I can be.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      This worked as a fast acting drug for the anxiety, but oh boy, I'd feel woozy and really out of it. But hey I calmed down!
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Has anyone ever had a panic attack in their sleep? I think I have, I'll wake up gasping for breath, sweating, heart pounding, the need to find someone to talk to right NOW and cry. I want to not feel that way ever again. but it keeps happening.

    • Open Insomnia

      I've had problems sleeping for as long as I can remember.

      Treatments

      Ambien Working / Worked
      Worked off and on. It really knocks me out and then i wake up a few hours later.
      Lavender Working / Worked
      occasionally does. Sure smells good.
      Music Working / Worked
      sometimes helps

    • Open Endometriosis

      I was diagnosed with this summer 07. It happened very quickly. They said people usually have a history of painful periods, but I sure didn't. 2 months after the first killer cycle and antibiotics I had surgery. Lo and behold I had endometriosis and they took out my left ovary and all that tumor as big as a grapefruit. I hope that it'll stay gone!!

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
      Well it worked for now!It wasn't a fun experience.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
