    • About Me

      I'm 33 yrs old, married for 12 years w/a 2 year old daughter. I began treatment for depression 2 1/2 years ago, but stopped the meds due to pregnancy. I started seeing a psychologist who suggested I try to find a support person or group to talk to. I found this online.

    • Close Families & Friends Of Addicts

      My husband is an alcoholic & former crack addict. He has been sober just over a year. He just had back surgery & is on very strog narcotic pain killers. I'm worried the cycle is starting over again.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Somewhat Helpful
      It helped me some, but I still didn't understand much about the addict themself. I like to know why things are the way they are & Alanon doesn't give you that.
      Patience Not Working
      There is not enough patience in all the world for an addict. It just gives them more time to use their drug of choice.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I saw 2 different counselors & it helped some, but I guess I'm just not good about actually relaying my feelings cuz they felt I was normal.
      Talking Not Working
      Talking always became/becomes arguments.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I just started this a couple months ago. It helps some. My biggest thing is feeling I'm dumping on others & bothering them w/my problems when they have there own to deal with.
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      I was given this the day after I gave birth. I couldnt afford to buy the prescription so I weaned myself off of it too.
    • Open Breastfeeding

      I am breastfeeding my daughter. She is about to turn a year old. I'm debating on whether or not to wean her. I enjoy this time with her. I'm mostly worried about my job & having to continue pumping.

    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      My daughter will be one in two weeks. She is my little angel princess. I can't imagine life without her. I want more than anything to be home with her, but I can't right now. It's tearing my up inside.

    • Open Codependency

      I am a co-dependent wife of a sober alcoholic & drug addict. We've been married 11 years & have a 1 year old daughter.

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Somewhat Helpful
      It was ok, but I needed to understand why he was the way he was & Alanon doesn't give you that insight.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      I read as much as I could. It was helpful for a while, until something new happened.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I was diagnosed with depression after my father passed away, but since then, it just doesn't seem to be the only problem. I can relate with so many of these entries.
