    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety about a year ago. I was on Lexapro until January, then went off of it because I was unsatisfied with my loss of creativity due to taking the medication. However, I'm going back on it again because things have reached a new low recently. Let's hope it helps.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      It helped when I was first diagnosed with depression about a year ago, but then I was thoroughly sad about my loss of creativity and imagination due to it. But, it does help with the depression and I am going to go back on it and try again.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Therapy has always helped and I'm sad that I lost my health insurance that covered it. I've recently received some government health insurance and am going to go back to counseling.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My Mom, girlfriend, and best friends have been wonderful.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I've started keeping a journal recently and its helped in just expressing my emotions on paper and letting them free. I am trying to make sure I write once a day so that I can get into the habit. It's becoming easier and easier to remember to write daily, and I enjoy that.
    • Close Lesbian Relationship Challenges

      I started dating a woman in 2005, although I had known I was gay for a few years before in secret. I thought I was in love, but I was realized it was really for companionship. She left me because "she didn't love me anymore." We ended amicably but then she developed a severe hatred towards me that I still to this day can't figure out. However, I've moved on and am in a wonderful relationship with someone who truly fits with me.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I was diagnosed with major depression by my doctor in May of 2008
    • Open Diabetes Type 1

      I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I had just turned 5 years old, and have been living with it now for almost 18 years.

      Treatments

      Diabetic Diet Working / Worked
      Have been on one since day one.
      Humalog Working / Worked
      I have been on Humalog for almost ten years and it works wonders.
      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
      I have been on NPH my whole experience as a diabetic and it still knocks the socks off.
      Insulin Pump Considering
      Waiting for my new benefits to kick in at my new job, then I will be discussing a pump with my doctor.
