    • Close Anxiety

      I start fresh, move, change jobs, meet new people and leave the old behind. I always run in to myself and end up right where I started.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      I breathe a bit and it calms my nerves.
      Walking Working / Worked
      Walking by myself clears my head. Then I turn around and realize that I have to walk all the way back to my house.
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      My boyfriend and I are having issues dealing with our anxiety, respect, backgrounds, and above all trust with each other. Even though we are working hard at it because we love each other we still seem to move in circles. We learn more about each other everyday good and bad. Sometimes it gets to the point where we are a little hostile and passive aggressive towards each other. We do nice things for each other and express our feelings about everything everyday... sometimes too much.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      When we are arguing I try to take a step back and acknowledge that he is being anxious or having a panic attack.
      Talking Working / Worked
      When I acknowledge his anxiety and how I a being passive aggressive. The repeatedly revert the conversation to our issues and we never really fix the problem we were either arguing about or sad about in the first place.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I've have baggage when it comes to sexual encounters. Starting from when I was 14 years old. Not to say I haven't had a good encounter in my life. But the number of bad ones blow the good ones out of the water

      Treatments

      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      I moved and hou r away from an abusive relationship. Unfortunately, he came after me a couple times (not to the point of calling authority to handle the situation). But once I was out and gone and stood my ground (without threatening) he left me alone. Just a couple nasty phone calls since then.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Unfortunately, yelling at first. Then later discussing that we would never be together again he finally backed off.
    • Open Depression

      I have a case of depression. It comes and goes over month spans. Sometimes, it is so bad I can't go to work, can't even get out of bed.

    • Open Cocaine Addiction & Recovery

      I used to be a big coke head. every time I think about snorting some my mouth starts to water and I have the sudden urge to shit (sense I did so little of that when I was on it). I've been in some bad situations, met some people I never want to meet again and done some bad things in my life when on this drug. I was addicted for about 1 and a half to 2 years too long. I quit twice cold turkey soon after one of my close friends was brutally injured in an accident.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      I noticed when I was doing cocaine it was because I was unhappy about something. I did it to numb the pain and forget. Then when I was heavily into it I was doing it because I wanted more. More. More. I stopped caring about everything else and just wanted to feel okay again. When I decided to stop I change my entire life. I moved to another city got an okay job broke off the relationship that I was in and tried to star over.
    • Open Diabetes Type 1

      I have had diabetes since I was two and a half years old. When I was a teenager I was not only rebelling against my parents but myself. I never took care of myself and did a lot of drugs to try to pretend nothing was wrong with me. I am still recovering from that. My body is still in one piece but very sensitive now. Also my eye sight is starting to go.

      Treatments

      Cassia Working / Worked
      It is known to lower your blood sugar and it does!!!! I put it on everything! Ice cream my lattes my tea even steamed carrots...with a little ginger. MMMMM!
