    • Close Depression
      Type: Post Partum Depression

      After going through a lot of family problems and abuse growing up, depression has been something that I struggle with so much now. Some days it is easier to deal with, but it is a constant uphill battle every day. Luckily I have a lot of support, but some days I get tired of dealing with it. For a while I was suicidal and cut, but I don't do that anymore. I am growing and getting through the tough stuff I guess.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I have good friends that help encourage this, but it is hard sometimes. God is a major source of helping me think more positively because of all He has done for me, but there are some times when I just can't think positively because I suffer from anxiety too.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      This has been helping a lot, my counselor is a life saver. She has been helping me see this problem that seems so HUGE as something that is only small steps.. a lot of small steps, but still small steps. She is a great source to help me calm down with my anxiety and depression flairs up.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I have only told a few amount of people about what is really going on with me, but luckily the people that I have told have helped me through all of it and have stuck with me.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I write in a journal, wich helps so much. I also keep a secret blog that helps me get out feelings that I don't want to tell everyone, but still want to get it out. This helps a lot.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I grew up with a lot of emotional abuse in my family. Everyone seemed angry all of the time and had to have "control" over my sister and I. A lot of things that were said to me wore me down until I had very low self esteem and was just used to not standing up for myself. I basically took the road where you turn numb and just take it. But I don't live there anymore.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      I have been seeing a counselor. This has been helping me weed out the thoughts that are right, and thoughts that are wrong such as "yelling is okay" or "you have no control".
      Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
      Forgiveness is key for you, not for the abuser. But it is one of the hardest things to do. Its something you have to do every day.
      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      Getting out of the situation is the first step to healing, but doesn't automatically heal the problems with in you. Even though you leave there physically, emotionally you go through the same stuff for a long time. That is why you have to get outside help like counseling.
      Music Working / Worked
      Listening to music and singing has been so important to me. I sing in a band in a Christian group. Singing to God is one of the things that help me the most.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Having friends that listen to you when you need it helps a lot. One of the side effects of this that you have to keep in check is to keep from putting them in the "counselor" position. They can't fix your problems, but they can support and be there for you. You just have to be open and honest about what you need.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I don't want to say a lot, but this is what I went through when I was younger. It has damaged me sometimes to where I feel like I am beyond repair. But I am on the road to recovery. Thanks to God and many friends that are helping me, but the daily battle is beyond difficult.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      This is a great outlet for me. Singing and listening to music helps me so much. Singing to God is something that gets me through every day.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking about it to a small few of people helps me get through the daily attacks, anxiety, and depression.
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Working / Worked
      I have read parts of this book, but have stopped when it gets to hard.
    • Open Anxiety

      For the past few years, I have gone through a lot of anxiety problems. I worry about little things until they become huge problems and I have to calm down intensely before I can deal with them. Anxiety has caused problems in my relationships and in every part of my life. It is an ongoing battle, but I am getting better.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Focusing on God and listening to him helps me have more positive thoughts.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Ever since I have been dealing with anxiety and depression related to abuse I endured, I get panic attacks whenever I get a bad memory from the past, encounter too much stress that builds up, or a sudden new situation. I shake, can't breath, gasp over and over, get dizzy, and can't concentrate.

    • Open Incest Survivors

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
    • Open Self-Injury

      I used to cut (lasted about a year)... Due to dealing with past sexual abuse. Now I don't cut anymore, but I want to every day. I have also dealt with thoughts of suicide for like 8 years.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      This does help. Gets things out in the open so you feel accountable to something.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I have a really good friend who helps me. She knows everything and helps keep me accountable.
