    • About Me

      Hey, I'm Becca... I'm a transfer from boston, now I’m in southern florida and am re-doing my freshman year. I have adhd and was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression more than a year ago (but I knew a long time ago I was)... I frequently feel really alone and I don't really open up to people. My first year at college went horribly... I had to withdraw from all of my classes because of my anxiety. I am trying it again at a different, more supportive school in florida.

    • Superhero Status

      From GetBackToSerenity November 5

      I am doing alright, just have been feeling like staying home this week. Social situatins are uncomfortable, especially when someone tries to communicate with me. I even feel uncomfortable when people are nice and polite. My fear is that they are fake and have hidden agendas.
      I rather be cautious than gullible.

    • Close Adoption

      I was adopted a few days after I was born. My birth-mother was 18 at the time when she had me. Last year my psychologist and I recently have been able to understand some of my issues...

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I was diagnosed my freshman year in high school and have tried a bunch of different treatments...

      Treatments

      Adderall Somewhat Helpful
      Works for now... kind of... never makes me feel that alert though and wears off fast...
      Concerta Working / Worked
      Worked for a while but caused major migraines. Stopped taking it...
      Focalin Not Working
      Horrible!!!!
      Ritalin Working / Worked
      Took for a while but had awful migraines.
      Vyvanse Not Working
      Vyvanse did not work very well for me.
    • Open Anxiety

      Diagnosed with GAD (Generalized anxiety disorder) in May of 2007. I have major social anxiety issues as well and they really affect my daily life. I also have frequent panic attacks.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      My psychologist taught me some breathing exercises as well as some mindfulness techniques and it helps when I have just a little anxiety and very rarely my normal amount. But, when it gets to be more than normal it becomes really difficult and these techniques don't help!
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      It is very difficult for me to take medicine.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been diagnosed with depression, but I know that I've had it on and off since I was 10 years old... I usually feel alone and recently, since I have started college, it has been getting worse...

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Started a year ago with my psychologist but it was pretty difficult for me to do.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Most helpful thing out there!
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      It is very difficult for me to take medicine.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      Have had migraines since I was about 8 or so. They can be really bad some times and they really effect my life on a day to day basis.

      Treatments

      Caffeine Working / Worked
      For some reason when I drink a lot of coffee or a lot of pepsi/coke the migraines tend to wear down.
      Excedrin Not Working
      Doesn't work- not strong enough.
      Imitrex Somewhat Helpful
      Seemed to help with the migraines but had really bad side effects... I felt like my chest was closing up and that I couldn't breathe.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Works better than the other drugs out there!
      Tylenol Not Working
      Does not work!
    • Open Insomnia

      Haven't slept well in a very long time. For me, it might be linked with my depression/anxiety and how my mind just keeps on going, it always is racing.

      Treatments

      Lunesta Somewhat Helpful
      Gave me an awful taste in my mouth the next morning, it was really gross! But if i had to choose between sleeping and having a weird taste in the morning?... you get it...
      Meditation Working / Worked
      When I was younger I did meditation and it actually helped...
      Trazodone Not Working
      Did not work for me!
