    • Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      I have severe PMS, also called PMDD. I am taking Yazmin for it, but it is so hard to control.

      Treatments

      Midol Working / Worked
      Midol is my best friend when I have a period with cramps. Side effects for me are dhiarrea and excitedness.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      Yazmin had helped a lot with the physical symptoms of PMDD, but the emotional isn't always easy to control.
    • Close Insomnia

      I have a terribly hard time sleeping, and not a lot seems to help. When I am on my period, it gets even worse.

      Treatments

      Counting Sheep Not Working
      This never helped me. It just kept me awake.
      Lunesta Working / Worked
      This worked well, but soon my body adjusted to it, and I had to take more. Now I can't even afford it.
      Music Working / Worked
      This only works if I don't have to wake up early. If I fall asleep with music, I seem to tune out my alarm in the morning.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      This works sometimes, but most of the time it gives me headaches and keeps me awake
      Trazodone Not Working
      I hated this drug. It made me feel stoned, not sleepy
    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      My dad is an alcoholic and is addicted to pain medication. He was in a motorcycle accident (he was drunk) and ever since then, he has been a total mess.

      Treatments

      Patience Not Working
      It's hard to be patient when 16 years have gone by with no sign of change.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      My therapist listens, but there isn't much she can really do to help.
      Writing Working / Worked
      This is the only thing that has really helped me.
    • Open Anxiety

      I've had anxiety for a long time and not a lot seems to help.

    • Open Hyperhidrosis

      I've had a sweating problem for years. It's the hardest thing to deal with since I'm in high school, so the kids are very judgemental. But I found a great way to control it with Maxim from StopSweat.com.

    • Open Depression - Teen

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      This didn't do anything.
      Lexapro Not Working
      This didn't do anything.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      When I do meditate, it helps. But I can't focus enough to do it alone.
      Music Working / Worked
      This works so well. Listening to music clears my head. Down side - sad songs tend to make me sad.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Animals help a lot. They don't judge, and they typically sense what people are feeling and can help in ways no one else can. I have a dog and 2 rabbits that always help me get back up from feeling down.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Thinking happy thoughts is easy but only when I catch myself just starting to feel down. Once I've gotten down though, it isn't very effective.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I've been in therapy for 3 years, and it has it's ups and downs. I love having someone to talk to, but she tends to make assumptions based on the majority of people with my problems.
      Talking Working / Worked
      This is the biggest help for me. If I could just spill it all out to someone, and even recieve some input, I think I would be 100% happier than I am now
      Trazodone Not Working
      I am no longer taking this, but when I did it was terrible. It made me feel drugged up all the time and brought me down.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I just started a blog, and it has helped a lot. No one really reads it, but it works much like venting. I can say whatever is on my mind, and just let it all go
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Its the best thing to help me.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I have GAD and PD, and have had them since I was 12.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      I hated this stuff.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I love Klonopin, but I tend to abuse it.
      Patience Not Working
      HA, that doesn't work at all.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      If I can manage to think positively, it works. It's getting there that's hard.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I love being able to talk to someone, but it's hard to pay for.
      Trazodone Not Working
      This crap gave me MIGRANES!
    • Open Loneliness

      I am always alone. I don't have many friends and I don't go to normal school. So I basically sit alone every day.

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I haven't been officially diagnosed with Fibro, but my doctor is leaning towards it very much.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I messed things up really badly. I need some kind of support.

      Treatments

      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      It's hard...
      Music Working / Worked
      the only thing I can count on.
