Treatments

Music Working / Worked

Listening to music helps me keep my mind off things and focus on something else.

Psychotherapy Not Working

I was seeing a counselor for a while when I was in highschool but I got tired of having to play catch up with the counselor- telling him/her about all the background and past stuff.

Talking Somewhat Helpful

I try to talk things out with my mom or dad or friends just to get things off my chest. My mom is very hard to talk to though and she is my main "problem" right now.

Writing Somewhat Helpful

I don't keep a journal but I write out lists like crazy. To do lists, grocery list, everything. Helps me keep all the gunk out of my head so I don't feel overwhelmed.

I was diagnosed with High grade HPV when I was 17, the strain that causes cervical cancer. I still have it. Has not gone away. But it looks like my body is fighting it off and not letting it change my cervical cells.

Doc just looked down there to see how bad it was. Didn't help anything though.
