Support Groups
Close Self-Injury
I started cuttin when I was 15ish, though I had self destructive behavoir up until then. I had never heard of it and used it for the next 20 years to cope. I have been doing better this last year, with the help of an awesome therapist and the support I have allowed some of my friends and husband to give me.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking Working / Worked
- Therapy is one of the only things that seems to be working for me. I spent a year on lexapro (tried to kill myself twice on it) was switched to effexor with seroquel, valium, then adivan, then tranxene. I did okay, the self injury was much less and I managed to stop drinking (with antabuse) but I felt like I had, had a lobotomy and I couldn't think or express myself at all....so after a year on all the meds I took myself against doctors advice ("you'll need these for the rest of your life..")
Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
I have been going to docs for years about my mood swings, which get so bad I end up with broken bones or in the hospital for stitches. They always want to put me on antidepressents. I tried them I hated them, now I found out I have PCOS which explains ALOT
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I was diagnosed with PCOS this week, and it has been a long hard battle in getting someone in the medical field to listen to me. I have had severe mood swings for years, that have slowly gotten worse. I was always told I needed antidpressents, which I tried and went off after a year. They did help hide my symptons, but did nothing to fix them. Finally I was diagnosed and started on meds. I have so little estrogen in me, it can't be measured and my testosterone is off the charts.Hmmm,moody?
