Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI first accepted that I had a depressive disorder some 18-20 years ago and have since tried numerous medications and seen many doctors - I fear that my condition is worsening over time and am not sure where to turn an more
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to give a mild reprieve, but nothing particularly noticeable for the duration I was on them
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- I have been sent to CBT and completed a number of meetings with a psychiatric nurse, but whereas I understand what is being tried, it is not making any difference to my condition
- Effexor Working / Worked
- worked well to the extent that I didn't feel depression or any sadness, however I found that I didn't have many emotions at all - quite detatched from everything around me
- Prozac Working / Worked
- a gentle gradual and most successful result out of the ones tried, however seemed to stop working after a lengthy time on them
Close Obesity
I've always been overweight - never once have I been the right weight and the furiously frustrating part is that it is not due to over eating. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and as my 'wonderful' GP said, "You can eat like a sparrow and still put on weight". This has left be 'morbidly obese' - wonderful term - and eternally depressed about my looks and I hate it so much.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- Elliptical Trainer Somewhat Helpful
- same as the Physical Exercise part
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- well, it helped with the aerobic health naturally, but not with the size I am. I used to spend 30 mins stepping; 30 mins rowing and 30 mins cycling - every day... no rest. No shape change tho.
- Slim-Fast Working / Worked
- yeah this only worked when I lived on 2 shakes a day and nothing else. 500 cals and I felt lighter and seemed a little thinner (tho not as much as a 'normal' person would have been) and staying on a liquid diet for any extended length of time is not nice at all.
Open Bereavement
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- I cry every day, literally - at bad moments sometimes all day. Its a kind of release, but it doesnt really help.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- yep, absorbing myself in a MMPORG works for the duration I can concentrate on it for. Then reality comes crashing back
- Pets Working / Worked
- My cat is always there for a cuddle - and sometimes I shout at her for no reason - that just makes me feel so much worse.
- Remembering Not Working
- This just makes me miss them so much more and hate what my existence is atm.
- Time Not Working
- Its been 8 years since my main bereavement, but there were others beforehand. You would think that I would be coming to terms with it all now, but I feel it all as if it was yesterday.
