    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      But not just SAD, sometimes little things make me depressed. Like to a crazy extent. But general depression only affects me in the "winter" months.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Didn't really help - made me a bit less modd-swingy but also made me suicidal in a "my body wants it" kind of way.
      Meditation Considering
      I've done it some before but... it's hard to stick with and to really do when you're going crazy-upset
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Only really helps me keep it away, doesn't really make it go away.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
    • Close Rape

      Happened on 09/06/09. Two people know besides people on here. In the process of stuff with police and in the process of coming out of shock/realizing the affect it has.

    • Open Self-Injury

      Well I've only "officially" hurt myself once (scratched my arm until it was a cut) but I've also banged my head off walls and dug nails into my skin. On a smaller scale, for as long as I remember, when I get stressed I peal at the lose skin on my fingers which is semi-ocd-ish and semi-self injury. It's just automatic, I've been doing it so long. I'm not bad but... I just want to realize that the small things are still not good and to know ways to cope if I'm tempted to hurt myself again.

      Treatments

      Rubber Bands Somewhat Helpful
      But unless I want to scratch myself or I guess bang my head off walls, it seems like the same kind of thing in a possibly less harmful package. Though I've never literally used a rubber band. (Hair ties... don't recommend)
    • Open Financial Challenges

      blankpaper hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      It's over now but not like I knew it was happening when it was. (I fall into the emotional part here). I do want to talk about it but at the same time..... I don't like to admit it. Still dealing with

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
      Still leaves me with things to deal with but... not I'm not dragging my anger (and him) around with me. Definitely helps.
      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      Left and then realized after wards. Side effects: none really but... dealing with the fact that I'm still blaming myself.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      It would make it easier on my emotions but I dont think hating someone just so you can not love them is healthy. And besides that I dont want to close a door. I want to move on but that doesnt mean I have to burn a bridge

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Time Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Panic Attacks

      have had SUPER minor ones from random things without really realizing but since... well 9/6/09, I've had more and with more intensity than ever before.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Didn't help at all, basically turned anxiety that wouldn't even really cause an attack into a crying fit. Plus, made me suicidal and emotionally unstable so... yeah
      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      I guess they end eventually... =/
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Yeah for only as long as I can "ignore/forget" the issue.
      Xanax Too Soon to Tell
      Somewhat, I'm not sure if my dose is strong enough though as it only helps with minor things - specifically, the stomach ache you get when you're not thinking about the stress-or anymore but you're body's still reacting. But I've only used it 3 times so we'll see.
