    • About Me

      I am a proud mother of 3 beautiful children. I am going through some rough times and have lost my trust in people. I am learning that there are good, kind people out there that have no ulterior motives other than to be helpful and supportive thanks to the group of people here.

    • Close Families of Prisoners

      Fiance is in jail awaiting sentencing..possibly up to 20 yrs state. I am now trying to raise our son who is 2yrs and my daughters 15yrs and a pregnant 19yr old. I have developed high anxiety and panic attacks, can not control my heart rate from all the stress. I average maybe 4 hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky

      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      I try to have patience but some days it feels like I'm losing everything
      Talking Working / Worked
      Being able to vent and cry everything helps.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      It worked for awhile but now it doesnt work at all. Tried another medicine cant remember what it was at the moment for the anxiety but even 12 a pill left me wanting to sleep all day and thats not even an option because of my children.
    • Close Insomnia

      I have had insomnia on and off since I was a teen(many years ago lol) I think stress has alot to do with mine. The DR. gave me effexor for my anxiety and to help me sleep which worked for awhile but its not working anymore even a stronger does didn't help. She doesn't seem to really care about it she is more worried about my pulse rate being so high. I usually average 3-4 hrs if i'm lucky. Very hard with a 2yr old and teen daughters.

      Treatments

      Counting Sheep Not Working
      Doesn't work
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Worked for almost a year. Doesnt work anymore. If Im even 12 hour late taking it i get upset stomach and terrible migraines.
      Reading Not Working
      I usually end up reading the same page a couple times because I'm too tired to focus but can't sleep. It also made me feel drugged and sick.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      It worked but worked too well. Even 12 a pill would knock me out but I couldnt take it because it made me sleep too much and I have a 2yr old to take care of.
    • Open Anxiety

      Started about a year ago and keeps getting worse. My resting heart rate is now up to 120 but has gone as high as 154.

      Treatments

      Inderal Working / Worked
      Worked before but am on the strongest does now and it isn't working.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Made me sleep too much and felt sick
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Worked for awhile but no longer.
    • Open Single Parenting

      Mother of 3 ages are 19yr and pregnant, 15yr old daughter and 2yr old son. My fiance is in jail awaiting sentencing possibly up to 20yrs. Really hard to do it on my own

    • Open Endometriosis

      I have dealt with endometriosis since I was 14yrs old. Never had it diagnosed though until I 16. During those 2yrs all the Drs. kept doing pregnancy test (I didn't even have sex then) one told me it was all in my head. Thank god a found one that knew what I had. Oh by the way I'm 41 now.

      Treatments

      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Working / Worked
      Worked some
      Laser Surgery Working / Worked
      Works for a couple years or so but always returns
      Depo-Provera Working / Worked
      Was helpful but put me into a false pregnancy. Had all the symptoms of pregnancy even urine test came up positive but blood test negative. Hated feeling like that so I stopped
