Hugbook
Prayer
Hope you are finding some comfort in this near-winter season. I like to light a candle - and be outside long enough to appreciate the warmth when I go back in.
Hug
I miss chatting too. I think I'm at a point where I can relax a little now. We have a lot to catch up on so let me know when you'll be around & in the meantime take care! = )

Close Healthy Relationships
I need to know what this is. I'd like to have one. I never have.
Treatments
Close Family Issues
My mother is/was very controlling. Lots of self-esteem issues from this.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have made significant steps in changing my beliefs and behaviors.
- Talking Working / Worked
- It helps me to get things off my chest.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
Open Loneliness
I get lonely alot even though I have friends. Not sure why that is.
Treatments
- Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- Keeps me calm when all my stress causes anxiety and panic. Helps me sleep.
Open Anxiety
I have had significant personal problems in the last several years that have finally started getting the best of me. I have anxiety on a pretty regular basis. I also have been having difficulty sleeping.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Not Working
- I can't seem to relax using this method. Maybe I do it wrong.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- I am able to cope with my depression much better. No side effects except some heartburn the first week or so.
- Crying Working / Worked
- It helps to have a good cry but wish I had a shoulder to cry on more often. I usually cry alone.
- Meditation Considering
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- I am trying very hard to do this, but I feel depressed most of the time.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- It helps calm me, but it seems to wear off after a few hours. It seems to help me sleep better, which I am grateful for.
- Zoloft Not Working
- Stopped taking after 1 week. My heart felt like it was pounding the entire week. I had constant pains just below my sternum that felt like heartburn. I also had one of the most severe panic attacks I ever experienced after taking this. Had insomnia and felt more depressed than before I started. Did not like it at all.
Open Fibromyalgia
