Close Single Parenting
I had my daughter at age 19. She is a radiant and smart person. Her father and I broke up when she was about a year and half old. My life went severely downhill, started using meth to cope with the depression. Her father went severely downhill as well, ending up in a mental institution, injecting drugs, getting another woman pregnant. Eventually I cleaned up, he however did not and ended up dying of an overdose about a year and a half ago. I have been clean for close to 2 years. And here I am.
Close Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: Lacto-ovo vegetarianism (No meat)Been a vegetarian since I had about six months sobriety. I chose to eat this way because I could no longer see any reason not to. I thought "well, since I got clean, I may as well go all the way!" And with that came a deeper understanding and compassion for life. And I have learned SOO much!
Open Depression
I have always struggled with depression... I don't want to "tell my story"
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I feel better in general when I am meditating regularly.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- It did it's job.
Open Codependency
It all started when I was a kid. And now I'm all fucked up about relationships.
Treatments
Open Family Issues
I live with my mom, I am 25 with a six year old... my mother is a nag, controlling, and doesn't know how to communicate without fighting. I get so stressed out and have terrible anxiety because of this. I am in therapy working on my issues surrounding my dad and basically my whole f**ed up childhood.
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- When I put on my headphones I usually just drift off into my own space...
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I cherish the time I can spend with a therapist. I can talk about all of it, or anything for that matter.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- More like complaining to my friends. If I try talking to my mom about what's bothering me she won't listen and never takes responsibility for her actions in the situation. As for talking to my dad he still is in denial about all of it.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Doesn't always work, but I recently had an experience where I was having an anxiety attack and I started to write and all of this crap came out that I had no idea was bothering me. Old stuff, from my childhood.
Open Anxiety
I have always had anxiety, coupled with depression, but it is just getting worse and worse. I can barely eat without feeling like I am about to throw up. I can't turn the ridiculous worry off in my mind. I can't seem to calm down or even get up. I need help.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- It works when the panicky feeling isn't too bad, but most of the time I can't seem to make it work.
- Meditation Not Working
- I can't relax, can't shut my brain up or calm my bosy down at all.
- Paxil Not Working
- I quit, but I am now thinking I might need to do this again.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- it's hard, but when it works it works.
Open Self-Injury
I haven't cut for a really long time. I used to cut, punch things until i was swollen and bruised sometimes bleeding. I obsessively pick at scabs. I get off on being hurt by other people (playing bloody knuckles, etc). I feel like I am suffering really bad right now, emotionally, without release and I am just looking for some support.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Rubber Bands Working / Worked
- Talking Working / Worked
- Tattoos Working / Worked
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I am not joining this group for myself, I am joining it for my friend. She was just diagnosed with PCOS, and she doesn't have access to internet. I'd like to gather as much information for her as I can and give her some of the support that I have gotten through this site.
