      Just wanted you to know I'm right there with you on the food thing. I have yet to respond to your message and I must apologize for putting that off. I can't justify my behavior, only possibly explain it. Know that I"m thinking of you and have every intention of responding to the message you sent me a while back! I haven't forgotten you. I'm thinking of you often. Take care!

    • Hug

      From MinnesotanMommy October 14

      Hey! Thank you for the hug and friendship. I really needed it! It's been a rough day as my son has spiked a temp of 102* twice today and his fever is only responding to Motrin and refuses to respond to Tylenol, so it's difficult keeping the temp down. So I'm a little run down and feeling a little gloomy cuz I just can't seem to keep him feeling well for a while at a time. Hope your evening is great and thank you so much for your friendship and understanding!

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      DorytTheMagicalFish hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      Diagnosed in my early adolescence, I have worked with my OCD for the past six years.... despite struggles in my early childhood (as the disorder was present and active, simply undiagnosed).

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      This was an ENLIGHTENING experience for me.... I found myself VERY fortunate to take part in this treatment.
    • Open Eating Disorders

      I have struggled terribly with a combination of anorexia and bulimia; and only have sought treatment as of late. My journey has begun, and whilst I fight daily with food, I intend to come out on top. As there are no other options! (Death hardly suits my busy schedule).

      Treatments

      Completely ineffective.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      My therapist is lovely. I look forward to seeing her, as silly as that may sound.

      Somedays I wish I were there! I so long to find a community in which I can fully devote myself to healing. I need to learn to live again!
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My aunt is an absolute source of inspiration. She, being a former dancer, has taught me how to begin battling body stigmas; and how to begin eating a balanced, nutritional diet. I consider her one of my angels on earth :-)
      Zoloft Not Working
      I took this years ago, and it was a fairly ridiculous experience. I bloated like a whale, and went about my day in a complete fog.
    • Open Bisexuality

    • Open Anxiety

      I experience terrible social anxiety; trusting few people; and becoming highly dependent (and nurturing of course) of those few. Issues relative to weight gain always manage to send me into a frenzy as well.

      I am a proud survivor of sexual abuse, and am looking to broaden my horizons- and develop into a sexually concious, and healthy young woman.

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have struggled with my weight for years... Having dropped nearly thirty five to forty pounds within the past five years- I have fought to exercise, diet and live properly. Beginning at 175 and falling to 135-140 (ish), I have been looking to establish a stronger body image... Hoping, and praying that this will help. I imagine it will :-)

      Treatments

      Music Somewhat Helpful
      It at least lulls me to sleep.
    • Open Colds & Flu

      I have always had a CRIPPLING fear of any and all diseases, colds, flus, etc- relative to a germaphobia through my OCD.

      Treatments

      Chicken Soup Too Soon to Tell
      An old wives tale to me, but always nourishing.

      Hello, not sure how common this is- but I find the absolute worst of me comes out once a month. It's as if a barrage of my with-held anger, frustrations, insecurities, and questions come bubbling out- and I just go loopy! Am I alone here? I should hope not...

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      Prescribed for different reasons.
    • Open Loneliness

      I, despite my being loved IMMEASURABLY by my family, have always felt "lonely" in the presence of others. My peers, within my romantic relationships, my friendships- and sadly, even within my family. I am so confused as to why I feel this way- and why, as a result, I have made such poor decisions in seeking attention, or some ridiculous kind of personal affirmation?

    • Open Asperger Syndrome

      DorytTheMagicalFish hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open College Stress

      I'm just a good old fashioned dork, attending a sorority party girl paris hilton school. Looking to establish some friends, and some lifetime connections, but have been struggling. I so fear being rejected... I just want a best girl friend. Reasonable? You tell me, lol!

      Treatments
