    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Have been diagnosed with various forms and levels of depression since my mid-twenties. The doctors can't agree and most recently they think it may be due to ptsd.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      not helpful
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Starting back on prozac and waiting for it to start working.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Helped before I ran out of insurance and money.
      Trazodone Not Working
      never worked for me
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      never worked
      Writing Working / Worked
      It helps when I can manage it.
    • Close Self-Injury

      I started cutting myself when I was 12 and I continued off and on till a year ago. I mainly cut on my shoulders, arms, and hands. I haven't cut myself in awhile, but I feel the desire starting to rise again.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It helped.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Helps if you have someone who understands to listen.
    • Open Anxiety

      Just diagnosed with anxiety disorder on top of everything (I guess the panic attacks gave me away). My coping skills must have fallen short finally.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      worked for sleep,, but then I overdosed on it in order to keep sleeping.
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Almost always helps.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Is working, but I'm feeling loopy during the day and having trouble concentrating. Anybody else?
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Works along with the breathing exercises.
    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Bi-polar mom and very abusive dad...adds up to ptsd for me. I think I manage it pretty well, though I suspect the depression, anxiety, and hyper-vigilance all link back to this one.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      worked while I could afford it.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Helps with the right therapist, but finding the right one is hell.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Helps if you have a safe person to talk with and know when to drop it.
    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      Diagnosed with everything under the sun. Everyone has a different solution: "eat just vegtables and fruit and 15 minutes on the rebounder every day", "get back to work and you'll feel better". God why can't someone just understand and care without judging.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It really does help. At least it makes it easier to have hope.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Works well.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      seems to help a little
      Dexedrine Working / Worked
      It helps my energy by about 25 and last maybe 3 hours per dose.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I was abused and neglected as a child by both my parents. Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked

      Talking Working / Worked
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
