Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

Open Depression

I have been suffering with depression since my early teens, unrecognized at that time. It wasn't until about age 21 that I realized what it was I was feeling.

Treatments

Celexa Not Working

Seriously bad side effects with celexa. Bad family history with this drug.

Effexor Working / Worked

Definitely helps with depression. I literally can't cry, which actually bothers me a bit. I feel good on this drug. Weight gain is a bad side effect for me with this drug.

Lexapro Considering

Meditation Considering

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

I have to be positive for my child. This definitely works, I can't lay in bed, I need to think about him and be positive for him. It's forced but it works!!!

Psychotherapy Not Working

I have only seen one psychotherapist but she did not help me whatsoever.

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

They're supportive (some of them) but they can't "make" me feel better.

Wellbutrin Not Working

I had a serious allergic reaction to this medicine beginning with shakes, terrible shaking and then hives everywhere. Was immediately taken off this med. Never made me feel better at all.

Open Seasonal Affective Disorder

Open Stress Management

I am always stressed. I am always high strung, I can't even tell you the last time I have felt "relaxed" it's a horrible feeling. I believe my stress is making me ill and I need help managing it.

Treatments

Music Working / Worked

Patience Somewhat Helpful

Open Panic Attacks

Treatments

BuSpar Too Soon to Tell

I tried this only once, I didnt really give it a true chance. Didnt like the way it made me feel, spaced out.

Effexor Somewhat Helpful

Does NOT help my panic attacks.. or anxiety but does ease my depression, which makes my panic attacks a bit less frequent.

Meditation Considering

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

I have to be positive for my son. It most definitely helps.

Psychotherapy Not Working

Psychotherapy did not help me. I may have had a lousy therapist, I'm not sure.

Open Phobia

I have an enormous fear of driving since I had a major panic attack on a major highway with my 3 year old son in the car. I have not driven "alone" and barely at all with someone in the car in 2 years. I refuse to drive alone with my son in fear of his safety. It has hindered my life, I quit school and have not had a job since. I have many fears, driving seems to be my biggest battle as of right now.

Open Hypochondria

Open Restless Legs Syndrome

Open Tooth Grinding

I have been grinding my teeth badly for years. I have hair line fractures developing in my teeth that my dentist says I should not have developed for years. I also clench my teeth all day long and while I'm sleeping, leaving me with jaw pain during the day.

Treatments
