    • About Me

      I attend college; in my fourth year, still have about three years left til I get my Master's. I love my family dearly. I used to love to draw, and read...haven't done much of that in a long time. I'm in a current relationship since April of 2007. Great guy, but I treat him like he's the worst boyfriend in the world, but he's really not. I haven't been clincially diagnosed as anything, but have been dealing with what I think may be depression off and on for years...when it's on...it's on.

    • Close Depression

      I was recently diagnosed with depression. I've been feeling this way for about a month and a half and with encouragement from my family and friends, decided to see a counselor about it and eventually a doctor. He prescribed me Ambien for my insomnia and Prozac for my depression.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Considering
      Prozac Too Soon to Tell
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I've only had two sessions. I have another this week. Waiting to see how it goes.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I don't write often, and when I do write, I don't usually write about how I'm feeling, I just write about something that happened, a fight with a b/f or friend, or frustrations in school or with a certain person. Not raelly how I feel about how I'm feeling.
    • Close Self-Injury

      I used to cut myself when I was 15/16 years old. I did it for about a year or so. When people found out, my parents forced me to see a family counselor, I did it a couple of times after that until my classmate died. I stopped. I didn't cut again until I was 19. It was just once and I never attempted again until last summer/fall of 2007. It scares me to even think about it still. Thought I was over that. It's much easier now though.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Tattoos Working / Worked
      It feels good to feel that pain sometimes, but it's not the same kind of pain, and I'm not doing it to release anything like I used to with cutting.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I was diagnosed with more tension headaches than migraines in high school. They gave me some kind of medication, I can't even remember what it was anymore. I've been starting to get them back, I'm sure it's related to my insomnia and sleep-deprivation, as well as stress. I can't think or concentrate or be in bright rooms. My room is always dark...over-the-counter meds dont' seem to help.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Not Working
      Caffeine Not Working
      Excedrin Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes, but it seems to vary; I took a couple recently, worked for about 3-4 hours, and as soon as it wore off, I had it back twice as bad.
      Tylenol Not Working
    • Open Insomnia

      Was diagnosed with insomnia recently. I don't sleep much, the most sleep on average that I get is 5 hours. I sleep during the day if I get 3 hours of sleep at night. I'm tired and don't have energy to do anything. I also wake up a lot during the night.

      Treatments

      Ambien Too Soon to Tell
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Has helped me get sleepy (my eyes at least) but when I put it down and turn off the lights, I can't sleep.
