    • About Me

      I am a 27 year old who is still in college. I like the fact that I am calling the shots these days. I am into photography, writing and I enjoy reading just about anything I can put my hands on.

  • Support Groups

    • Close College Stress

      I am an "abnormal" college student. I may not be one of the oldest ones in classes but I live in the dorms and feel like everyone's big sister.

      Treatments

      Sleep Working / Worked
      I try to sleep every chance I get...
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I do not get the support I need from my family but I get an awful lot from my friends. So I guess it really depends.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I left this group thinking I was strong enough to handle things when they came my way. Now since I have started to discuss things with my counselor I realize I am not strong enough to do this on my own.

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
      Since turning 18 I have lived in several different states. Now I am back in the state the abuse happened in and am trying to face my "demons". It's not an easy road but one I must follow through if I ever truly want to be happy.
      Music Working / Worked
      I have used music as a way to get myself to show emotion. If I can tap into it with music then I can allow it to flow openly.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I am currently talking about this in therapy and have been trying to find a support group to turn to outside so I can continue my healing process. It has helped to start talking about this but it has also been a very bad thing since starting to talk about this I have slipped on my ED programs. I have had nights where I can't sleep and I have also had nights where I sleep but don't sleep good. I feel that I am going insane sometimes and others I am okay.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I am always writing in my journal. However, sometimes it doesn't help it just makes it worse. I guess that's just part of this weird process.
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Working / Worked
      Really helped me to see who the person is that I should be blaming.
    • Open HPV

      I was diagnosed with HPV over 3 years ago. I have been clean the last several times I have had a pap. That is until my pap I had last month. I go for another COPO on 10/30/08 and I am a bit afraid.

      Treatments

      Colposcopy Working / Worked
      No longer worked...I have another scheduled for 10/30/2008.
    • Open Eating Disorders

      I am in recovery for anorexia with bulimic tendencies.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I am currently seeing a psychologist whom has helped me to gain alot of control back in my life and find other ways to deal with stress and pain.
    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I see a wonderful counselor who specializes in this area and other area's I need help in.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I am one of those that when I was little I really did not fear telling anyone about my abuse and now it has sort of reversed and since starting counseling I have not really been able to discuss things about my abuse.
    • Open Arthritis

      I was diagnosed with othreoarthritis at 23 years of age.

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Naproxen Working / Worked
      Tylenol Working / Worked
      Celebrex Not Working
      I had to take myself off of Celebrex due to the side effects and not being able to keep food down or eat food with the medicine.
    • Open Asthma
      Type: Exercise-Induced Asthma

      I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma when I was about 21 or 22 years of age.

      Treatments

      Albuterol Working / Worked
      I hate how it makes me feel after using it but when I have trouble breathing it helps to open the lungs!
    • Open Bereavement

      I just lost my grandma last night. I was very close to her and this is hurting me very much. I don't know how to be okay anymore. She and I were very close and I could always talk to her about things.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Can't seem to stop crying at the moment.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      I am trying to remember the happy memories of my gradnma. It's very hard at the moment.
