    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      August 28th 2004 my 26 year old son died tragically in a motor-bike accident-for 2 years my life was on hold and even now I ask why?

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      If I stop taking medication I revert to anxiety, mood swings etc. I think of Nick every day , with the medication I cope without I fall to pieces. no side effects.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Keeping busy and focusing on my other children & grandchildren does help, but at night trying to sleep my thoughts always return to Nick
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I tried counseling but they only ever told me what I already knew. The healing has to come from within me and unless they had lost a child how would they know.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      friends and family are always well meaning and I needed them around, but they tire of listening to my problems and I don't like to burden them anyway. Some say I should be over it-they don't really understand
      Writing Working / Worked
      It's a work in progress I guess at times I write my thoughts down - it is easier than verbalizing my thoughts-I believe this does help me.
    • Close Arthritis

      I was involve in an accident as a teenager and because of an injury which wasn't diagnosed then I now have arthritis in my lower back and hips, which limits my activity and causes me great pain. There is also degeneration of the lower spine

      Treatments

      Glucosamine/Chondroitin Working / Worked
      works a little
      Naproxen Working / Worked
      no longer using
      Voltaren Working / Worked
      use intermittingly helps a little
    • Open Adoption

      Many years ago I gave up two little boys for adoption. due to circumstances in the 60's & 70's I had no option. One has found me just last year.
