Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI suffer from OCD and depression. I take Zoloft, but can't seem to get through this depression and anxiety. The Zoloft has diminished my obsessions/compulsions, but only somewhat helped depression/anxiety.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I definitely feel a burst of happiness and energy after my yoga workout
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I am really trying to stay positive, but it often seems impossible.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- My husband is helpful, but sometimes loses patience with me.
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- Took care of my obsessions/compulsions, not my depression and anxiety.
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I was diagnosed with OCD three years ago, but I have had symptoms since I was about 11. I am plagued by disturbing, intrusive thoughts and images, fear of my husband dying, and of contracting diseases.
Treatments
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- Zoloft took care of my obsessions/compulsions, but I still suffer with anxiety and depression.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I used to be morbidly obese - weighing 350 lbs. I did the low carb diet and lost around 200 lbs. This last April, I had a tummy tuck, arm lift, and breast reduction because of all the extra skin. Over the last year, I put on 10 lbs and need to get going on losing it!
Treatments
- 3 Hour Diet Too Soon to Tell
- This is what I'll be doing this time.
- Atkins Diet Working / Worked
- Lost 200 lbs. on this one!! Works, but I just don't have it in me to do it again.
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- Food diary really helps me watch my weight.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Always works!
- Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
- Works, but leaves me feeling deprived.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Yoga, walking, aerobics - definitely works!!
- South Beach Diet Somewhat Helpful
- It worked, but the intiation phase left me exhausted.
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
I have dramatic changes in mood during my hormonal shifts - the week before my period, coming off my period, and during ovulation. During this time I am starving, I cry, I get very angry, lose patience, feel exhausted and depressed, even suicidal.
Treatments
- Black Cohosh Considering
- Evening Primrose Oil Considering
- Midol Somewhat Helpful
- Works a little
- Naproxen Working / Worked
- Helps with cramps
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- Taking for OCD, does not help with menstrual symptoms
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Married to a man who was horribly abused as a child - now I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship with him. We are in counseling trying to make it work, but my confidence is gone.
Treatments
- Leave Too Soon to Tell
- Currently separated and trying to work on our problems - I miss him and wonder what he's doing.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Trying to find a new counselor as I have just separated from my husband.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Learned the speaker/listener technique - it is a valueable tool.
