    • Close Depression

      I hid my depression for 7 of the last 10 years. I've been trying different types of meds, a few therapists, been off work since April 2008 and I hope I'm on the right track.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      When I AM able to get up and move it definitely helps my mood for the day. Starting is always the hardest part.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Still trying...
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Remeron Not Working
      Gained 40 pounds, up 4 sizes in jeans, and 3 cup sizes. Didn't feel any better.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Wellbutrin SR and XL, Zoloft, Abilify, Klonopin, Lamictal, Remeron, Celexa, Ativan, Pamelor.... NONE of these have worked.
    • Close Loneliness

      After finishing college, battling depression, avoiding social stigma, taking time off work and then quitting my job, I don't get to see very many people. My "friends" are in different cities. I'm so very alone...

      Treatments

      Music Somewhat Helpful
      and other media. Ive seen some movies so many times that I feel in them almost. Same with the TV its like the characters are my friends...

      My two kitties keep me company.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I use a biggest loser dvd. The personality is fun too.
      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I posted about my situation battling depression in a local online classified strictly platonic section. Ive received a few emails but in conjunction with this depression and anxiety Ive had a hard time replying to them.
      Walking Somewhat Helpful
      I do some window shopping. Its sometimes refreshing to go out and be near other people even if they are strangers. I like the pet store quite a bit.

    • Open Scoliosis

      Scoliosis and chronic pain since about age 14. I had x-rays when it was discovered -- too late. I was not a candidate for a brace. Already done growing this way. My curves and angles measure about 2 degrees away from necessary surgery.

      Treatments

    • Open Depression - Teen

      Started getting depressed the summer after 9th grade. My friends didn't get it, things got messy, so I ended up hiding it. No one seemed to listen anyway.

      Music Working / Worked
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Writing Working / Worked
      SO much poetry
    • Open Back Pain

      Scoliosis has caused very major back pain for me since adolescence. "Subluxation" screening was all out of whack pretty recently. Chiropractic helped during high school, but I can't afford it now. Sometimes stretching and yoga helps, but every once in awhile, the pain is so bad I'm completely immobilized by it.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Just started April 09. I noticed some relief after only the first week, but it is hard for me to find the energy to do my exercises.
    • Open Depression Supporters

      I want to be a part of this group because I would like to better relate to the feelings my loved ones are experiencing in being there for me. Maybe I can be of help to others, too, to give a few words from the inside.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      I try my hardest to keep communication open.
