Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I am 30 years old, happily married. However I have terrible anxiety. I suffer with it on almost a daily basis. I just wanted to find a place where I could meet other people who suffer from it.
Close Self-Injury
I have been a cutter for many years and I'm just looking for a place to talk with others like myself.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I had a little set back but for the most part this is pretty helpful to me.
- Rubber Bands Working / Worked
- This is definitely helpful. I tend to pop myself quite hard though so I get pretty big whelps on my arm but at least it doesn't break the skin.
- Squeezing Ice Considering
- Also recommended by my therapist. Haven't tried yet.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been suffering from depression most of my life. I have to battle daily to keep it in check, but lately life has gotten really bad and I feel myself losing control of it.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- in small dose's it works ok.
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- I have a hard time thinking in a positive way when it comes to myself.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I have had only a couple sessions, so we shall see. She want's me to consider medication, however after what happened with my grandma, I have a major fear of medicine.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- My mom suffers too, so sometime it helps to talk and sometimes we just bring each other down I think.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- I've been writing for years, sometimes I feel better sometimes not so much.
Open Stress Management
I take on the weight of the world and live pretty much constantly in a stressful state.
Treatments
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
Open Shyness
I have always been a shy person and felt self conscience to the point that if I am running even a minute late for something like church, I won't even go in for fear of the attention that may get drawn to me.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have a real struggle when it comes to losing weight. I can work out 7 days a week and diet and not lose anything. No health problems have been diagnosed so I am just one of the unlucky ones that have to work even harder than everyone else.
Treatments
- Counting Calories Too Soon to Tell
- Eating Healthier Foods Not Working
- I just started cutting out beads and pastas, other than that I have always loved all veggies and fruits, I don't care of red meat and I'm not a fan of sweets. I guess we'll see.
- Eat Less Too Soon to Tell
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- The last time I worked out for a long period of time with weights, I gained a bit of definition but didn't really lose any weight
- South Beach Diet Working / Worked
- I lost about 50 pounds on this. Most of it stayed off, I just want something with a little more variety. I will probably go back on it.
- TrimSpa Not Working
- All this did was completely deplete my B12 so I had to go in for monthly injections.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeMy grandma passed away on December 10, 2007 due to doctor error. I am having a hard time dealing with this since she was more like a second mother than a grandma. I'm not handling it very well at all. It was so sudden and unexpected that my brain won't process it.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- it helps for a little bit.
- Getting Angry Not Working
- every time I get angry it just makes it worse.
- Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- this works as long as I stay busy all day and have no time to think.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- but my mind continues to go back to the first days after she passed.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Remembering Somewhat Helpful
- Then I just get sad that she is gone.
- Scrapbooking Somewhat Helpful
- same as remembering.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- we are all going through it and taking it the same way.
- Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
- Talking Not Working
- cause the circumstances drive me mad when I talk about it.
- Time Not Working
- Granted it's only been almost 4 months but so far unless I am distracted it's still really bad.
