About Me
I am a student at selu in LA, studying of all things psychology. I am originally from Cleveland, OH. My work right now is conducting research at the university, and i am supposed to start working at a behavioral clinic soon. I am a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, sober for almost five years now woo hoo, have not been diagnosed with anything, only because i have not a doctor, but i feel depressed and anxious often, and at times delusional, neurotic and avoidant.

Support Groups
Close Shyness
I had a good run of a couple years of being moderately outgoing, but it just seems that I feel people are out to harm me, and i am so fearful of rejection. Sometimes i have to force myself to do something simple like take out the trash because i am scared that i might have to have a conversation with someone.
Treatments
- Self-help Working / Worked
- It is not working now, it seems the more people i talk with the better, but if right now i am in a major slump.
- Socializing Working / Worked
- No, I have it wrong for myself to date someone just so i can feel better about myself, but i think if i can find the right girl than yes it will work.
Close Depression
The sadness just continues to increase as of late. I have lots of lethargic, melancholy feelings nowadays. I would just love to snap out of it and return to the real person inside of me
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Yes it works, but that is a lot harder than it seems at times
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- The halfway house did me good years ago.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Yes, but I have to have the drive to contact them
- Trazodone Not Working
- Did not help me sleep, and made me real slow in the morning. I am not taking it anymore
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- I suppose it did, although i had some other serious issues like alcoholism and drug addiction, so it is hard to tell if i was depressed back then or if it was the drugs. I think i will see a doc. soon and get back on something
Open Anxiety
Sometimes i am so incredibly intense that a feel as if i am on acid. I hate that feeling being a recovering drug addict. It is so hard at times to shut my mind off, the racing thoughts of imagined situations and what would i say to somebody in a certain situation. I mean my life is pretty good all things considered, i dont know why my mind has to make things so complicated.
Treatments
Open Alcoholism
My sobriety birthday is March 25 2003, not my brightest day, but a great marker in what has been the best decision of my life. I moved from Cleveland to Baton Rouge to go to treatment, and by the grace of God I have not found it necessary to touch a drink or drug since then, although there were some trying times in sobriety I am grateful for all that life has given me.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- works if you work it, lol
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- A sponsor and a relationship with God does not hurt either
- Detox Working / Worked
- It was necessary
- Willpower Not Working
- I could never get clean and sober on my own
