    • Close Anxiety

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      I did not believe my therapist when she told me that breathing can help calm me. When I actually tried it, it worked! However, it will only work for mild anxiety, not panic attacks (for me). I also use progressive relaxation before I fall asleep (unless I'm taking an Ambien:)
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Cymbalta worked for a little while, but not for my depression.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      I practice yoga regularly. It relieves muscle tension and helps me control racing thoughts.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Self Talk is so important. I realized that I am a very negative person. I am trying to believe positive things about myself and others. I feel happier when I think positively.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Miracle drug!
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was abused by my dad and grandpa ever since I was a little girl. I have not lived at home since I was 20 and have now completely cut ties with my family. I am working towards healing and recovery. I also struggle with anxiety, depression, and ptsd.

    • Open Depression

      I was abused as a child. I have a family history of anxiety and depression. 2 years ago, I moved across the country and left several bff's behind. I had one friend my first year in NJ, but she ended up hurting me. It took two years, but I am finally adjusted and have made more friends. However, this experience triggered major depression that I am still trying to recover from. I think it just brought up crap from my past... feeling lonely, abandoned, and abused.

      Treatments

      I have seen a therapist for over 6 months... great improvement in my well being.
