      Okay, I've not lost much wait... But in the last week, I've done 45 minutes every other day on the treadmill, thus losing 5 pounds. Yay!

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I fell into depression when I was 12, while my Mom had breast cancer, and right after my grandmother and uncle both passed away. I was suicidal for a long time, and the thought still crosses my mind on occasion. Life just seems too hard sometimes.

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      I started on 20mg a day, and that helped for a few weeks, until my panic attacks started again. Then I went up to 40mg, and that seems to work wonders for me.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Worked for several months, but ended up being too expensive.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Didn't help at all.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I write poetry, and I've tried writing a few short stories. I'm good at it, so it lifts me up a little.
      Zoloft Not Working
      It made my panic attacks worse, and made me feel almost agoraphobic.
    • Open Obesity

      I've been overweight since the age of 7! And NO ONE could give me a solid reason why. Then I was diagnosed with PCOS, and told that THAT caused the greater part (or at least the beginning of) my weight gain. Since I was 14, I have steadily gained an average of 20 lbs a year. And I just want to lost the weight and be healthy again.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      The exercise is helping my weight and my mood, so I'd say it's working!
