Open Family Issues

Open Anxiety

i have suffered from anxiety attacks for over ten years now...the earliest recorded one i had was when i was eight. they have gotten worse as the years pass and the stress adds on, and half the time i almost pass out. i've black out for a few of them. the worst i had was on the subway with a scared man staring unsure of what to do for the teenage girl with tears streaming down her face and her head between her knees. i just want it to go away.

Treatments

Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful

they help to an extent, but only for a few minutes if i don't distract myself from the cause. which is really hard.

Open Military Families

My husband is in the marine corps, and well, we all need friends.

Open Endometriosis

Open Body Modification

i've got nine tats so far, and thirteen piercings....not done with either yet...they are my "organized form of self mutilation" as i tell everyone who asks

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

i grew up dealing with my mother's alcoholism and my father beat me on a regular basis. the last time he did he almost killed me. i suffer from ptsd and anxiety problems from it. i'm hoping i can get some help here.

Treatments

Music Somewhat Helpful

my music is my escape. what i listen to, depends on my mood, but it helps calm my nerves.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

i get lost in books, usually fantasy, to get lost in a life that isn't mind. it makes it easier to forget the life i'm living.

Talking Somewhat Helpful

Writing Somewhat Helpful

i write to get it out. i really dont do much else as far as therapy with other people though im considering it. even writing it down is still keepingit bottled up.
