    • Close Depression

      Hello! I am Ivytanith and here is my story. I have struggled with depression for a while, maybe since I was a child. Many events have led me to live a life where emotional ups and downs are the norm. I am not under treatment right now due to my hectic work schedule. I just hope that this group helps me with the support I need to continue fighting my battles in life. Thanks for being here! Ivy

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Being aware of thoughts and the role they play in our emotional state is a good thing to do. Awareness does make a difference.
      Effexor Not Working
      My doctor tried to give this to me and it was horrible. Experienced increased heart rates and anxiety, trembling hands and a sensation of being in a hurry.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Meditations has always helped but it has to be done constantly.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Took it years ago and was good. Had some side effects though.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing has always worked for me. Somehow it organizes my thoughts and helps me make sense of all.
    • Close Endometriosis

      Hi! I've had endo since I was an adolescent. I've had four surgeries. The last one was a histerectomy. My ovaries and uterus were removed and the intestines were cleaned of most of the endo and adhesions. After the surgery we discovered that some ovarian tissue was left and cysts have grown where ovaries used to be. I have Ovarian Remnant Syndrome now. Pain is still here. Wish luck to all and a life free of endo and pain!

      Treatments

      Danazol Not Working
      Did not work at all...
      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      After the surgeries some relief was experienced. Then another surgery had to be done because the endo came back again and again. Hysterectomy was somehow successful but ovarian tissue was left and the endo is back with a vengeance :-(
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Hi! Due to asthma and fertility treatments I started gaining weight eight years ago. This has been progressive and now I am 40 pounds overweight (obese). I am depressed, sad and can not recognize myself in the mirror. I am vegetarian and suffer from hypoglucemia and am struggling with diets. Don't know what to do and can not afford a weight loss program. Hope I can give and receive support in this group. Thanks :-)
