    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I was diagnosed with CFS after almost two years of hopeless GP visits, then hospital appointments seeing all kinds of specialists and psychiatrists. I was 14 when I first started getting ill, and it have fluctuated ever since. I feel often that it stole my teenage years, and now I feel like its stealing my university years too. I want to get better - but just so lost as to how - even after 6 years. I've just had some really bad advice and doctors.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Ive found its kept me on a slightly more even keel... but on v. high doseage - 120mg
      Paxil Not Working
      Was absolutely awful - made me paranoid and suicidal

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Was helping to a certain extent. But not quite enough with my extreme and rapid mood swings. Still take it to keep my lows not 'too low'
      Paxil Not Working
      AWFUL! Was on it 2 weeks made me paranoid and suicidal
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have had CFS and depression for as long as ~~I can remember, as well as several obsessive and anxiety disorders. This has led to many issues with self-esteem and body dismorphia. I have been every size from size 4(UK) to size 14(UK) - which means my problem stems from yo-yo dieting - starving and bingeing. I am currently in a binge mode and finding it hard to keep it under control. My mood is greatly affected by my diet and I need support to keep it under control
