Hug
Someone once said "The toughest thing about getting started..........Is Starting" The first time I heard that I kicked myself in the butt and felt so stupid. The answer to any and all of our problems is usually right in front of us.
Have a Blessed Day and Defend Your Joy!!!

Thanks
I hope I didn't offend you. I just wanted to get your attention. Are you exercising yet??

Hug
Ok get off your butt and start exercising at least one hour a day. That will definitly help the Restless leg syndrome. It will also do wonders for depression. I also have addicts in my family. I don't drink or smoke.
I'm behind you 100% I have a son who's 48 so don't worry I'm not looking for another girl friend. It sounds like you're on the right track though.

Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
I have known my husband for about 6 years, before i met him he had dealt with alot of drug addiction, and had just been released from jail. We have not had any issues with his past addiction problems until the last few months when because of his health he has been off work for over 4 months and has been prescribed a number of pain medications (tramidol, oxycodone, dilaudid) that have brought his addiction back to the surface. His abuse of these meds causes alot of stress for both of us.
Close Anxiety
I have suffered from social anxiety and possibly generalized anxiety for about 10 years now. I avoid alot of things i know i would enjoy because of it. Most times i even have trouble making phone calls to people i care about, never mind speaking to them in person. My anxiety interferes with my everyday life and at present i don't know what i can do to help it.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- It helped a little with my depression but did nothing for my anxiety.
Open Food Allergies
Type of allergy: Other FoodsWhen i eat raw carrots i used to just get and itchy throat/mouth but it has now turned into my mouth and throat swelling and i also react to cooked carrots, i am just interested in learning more about food allergies.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- its working so far but i havn't experimented much with eating things that have touched carrots yet.
Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I have a wonderful 2 1/2 year old little boy who is very adventurous and energetic and like most 2 year olds very stubborn and trying his best to be independant in any way possible!
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
Open Restless Legs Syndrome
i feel like i'm loosing my mind! I'm so uncomfortable i cant concentrate on anything other that his feeling in my legs, im afraid i will fail the course i'm taking becaue i cant sit still and concentrate and i nod off all the time because of poor nightime sleep.
Treatments
- Restoril Not Working
- helps me sleep but leaves me doozy fuzzy and off balance during the day for nightime i would rather just be on a regular sleeping pill
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depressioni have struggled with depression and anxiety for over 10 years and feel very lost.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- worked for a year, i feel like i must have built up a tolerance. Feeling pretty crappy lately. On 60mg. Only side effects are a pysical fuzziness that runs up and down my body from head to toe.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- Tried it briefly but was not happy with phycologist so gave up on it quickly.
- Effexor Not Working
- Tried it, my psychiatrist kept pushing me until i was at the highest reccommended dose, even though i had no results. Very frtustrating. I believe i am medication tolerent.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- I take 50mg of Imiprimine which isn't exactly the same drug but i think in the same class. I am currently taking nightly and have been for about a year. I don't feel it is working anymore.
- Meditation Not Working
- I find it too hard to relax enough to even try right now.
- Paxil Not Working
- Tried it years ago, bad side effects and i couldn't function. I gave up on it within a week cuz i couldn't even go to work.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- They come and go in bursts!
- Prozac Considering
- Would like more info, i am frustrated with current meds no longer working and am will to try some kind of change if there is any chance it helps
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have been in counselling for 3-4 years now, i can see major improvements with it, but i still need it in combination with meds. I would highly recommend it though.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- My hubby is the best support in the world and always tried to understand and help when he can. Most of my family doesn't believe in depression.
- Writing Not Working
- i always seem to draw a blank or struggle too much with the right words.
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- have tried a couple of times on low does but my previous dr. kept tellng me to wean myself off anytime i started to feel better. Havent tried it again with a better dr.
