    • About Me

      Just another member of humanity, finding her way. Trying to make the best of life. Hoping to meet and learn about as many people as possible. I have some issues, but who doesn't? Our imperfections and trials are what make us who we are. I am in college, and I am Jewish.

      A blanket covered in inked figures, draped over my knees.

      Security.

      Symmetry.

      A hint of the universe. 

      How can there be so much comfort in something …

  • Support Groups

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      Treatments

      Focalin Not Working
      made me more alert, but did not improve my ability to do schoolwork or listen to details
      Music Working / Worked
      definitely helps me concentrate if it is consistent with a steady beat and no lyrics, such as Trance music. Classical Music is also good.
      Research Working / Worked
      learning which difficulties in my life are actually caused by the ADHD has completely changed the way I view myself and approach life.
      Ritalin Not Working
      made me hyper-anxious, so stopped right away
      Strattera Somewhat Helpful
      still not really sure if it helped. Stopped taking it for now. Perhaps later the psychologist will try it again with me. Right now I am working on improving my mood.
      Vyvanse Too Soon to Tell
      so far i feel depressed. this could or could not be because of the vyvanse. i also feel tired. otherwise, no improvements

    • Close Anxiety

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      use it occasionally to help me sleep
      Lexapro Working / Worked

    • Open Depression

      Have felt depressed for the last seven years. I believe it is a result of poor self-image, ADHD, and perfectionist tendencies.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Makes my mood very even-keeled. Completely eradicated suicidal thoughts. I take it with Welbutrin, which makes my mood positive instead of just neutral
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I have so many wonderful people in my life
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      This is my solution!! I take it with 15 mg of lexapro, and my mood has been absolutely fantastic. I feel like I did 8 years ago, before any of the depression started. In fact, I feel better, because, being older, I know so much more about myself and the world around me. Some side affects are increased distractablity and quivering hands.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I enjoy putting my thoughts down on paper/screen
      Zoloft Not Working
      was taken off it because it made me hyper-anxious

      I used to have a lot of trouble coping with and understanding my sexuality because of my religion and depression.
