About Me
“It seemed like this was one big Prozac nation, one big mess of malaise. Perhaps the next time half a million people gather for a protest march on the White House green it will not be for abortion rights or gay liberation, but because we’re all so bummed out.” -elizabeth wurtzel

To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.” “Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaI am 24 and have been pulling since 6th grade. This was my first sign of mental illness which was followed by anorexia w/ ocd, anxiety and major depressive disorder. I am still pulling and cannot resist touching the stubble. I am tired of making up lies about why I have a bald spot and constantly touching my scalp.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- Was very costly and I was not in the right state of mind to do my homework. CBT has the possibility of being an amazing treatment for those who can afford an expert and are dedicated and have the time for homework.
- Hypnotherapy Not Working
- Having anxiety made this a bad treatment option... one must be able to be hypnotized and free their mind from obsessive thoughts.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionTreatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- Tried for trichotillimania --- was unable to follow up with the homework and was extremly costly.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- Gained 40 lbs and was constantly tired.
- Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
- Very helpful for insomnia but maybe a little too helpful... woke up late everyday and had a terrible headache, bloating and gross taste in my mouth when i woke up.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I ended up in the hospital with serotonin syndrome when i was on 400 mg a day. This is the worst medicine--- it ruined my relationship of 4 years. I threw up everyday and was constantly anxious and unable to sleep.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- 200 mg dose changed my life and brought me out of an extremly deep period of depression.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Helps stop ruminating thoughts at bedtime but have built a tolerance fast. Am already up to 4mg a day.
Open Prescription Drug Abuse
my story? well maybe it all stems from being over-medicated and big pharma promoting "new and innovative" drugs. adderall and benzos are my pills of choice and really don't know if there is any way out. i mean how do you stop when these pills are your means of functioning?
