Close Self-Injury
I am 47 and self injure. I did a bit of this when I was younger but stopped for about 10 years but it has come back in a big way in the last couple of years. I don't know why I do it and I don't know that I want to stop it either. I feel old and decrapit and stupid for doing it. No one other than my doctors know I do it. I am on a disability pension for PTSD and all the accompanying hooha that goes with that.
Treatments
- Red Marker Somewhat Helpful
- I use this during the day when I can't cut. It does help me until I can get home etc. And sometimes I am able to put off cutting for a while.
- Rubber Bands Too Soon to Tell
- Have done this a couple of times and it doesn't give me anything to work with.
- Squeezing Ice Not Working
- This was suggested to me and I thought good I shall use it on my skin so that it numbs the pain as I go deeper and that has helped me go deeper and longer.
Close Sexual Abuse
I was abused when i was 10 and raped when i was in my 20s. I self injure and I am diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. I also am on a pension because I can't work. I hate my life this way because I always think that I am a continual victim never being a survivor.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- I like art and it gives me something to enjoy, when all else seems to be going to pot. I like all forms of art mostly craft work.
- Group Therapy Not Working
- I guess this was way to early for me at the beginning and I feel that it is not my thing. I was able then to talk about things but not now. Now I hate to even think about these things let alone talk about them. They should be in the past but the effects are in the present go figure.
- \"The Courage To Heal\" Working / Worked
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The usual story, who cares. SA and rape, abusive mother et al.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- Still doing this every now and then. It helps to stop thinking about bad things etc.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Considering
- Have tried it only limitedly would like to try it again. though
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Aropax, works for most of it. Except when it is too intense.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Can always see my psych or MD about issues. Problem is that I usually need help during the night.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- If I could afford it I would be on this again.
Open Panic Attacks
What can i say Panic Attacks seem to be part of my regular life these days. Don't know what starts them and what finishes them, but I'm whacked afterwards.
Treatments
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Hate it, been on it forever and it is next to impossible to withstand the withdrawal symptoms. Am trying really hard to stay off them, though.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Have been taking these for a little while now, they help me sleep, but I am having heart palps and anxiety with them. I have stopped taking them but I am not sleeping as a result
Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaOld and puzzled by my eating disorders, thought it was a young thing. Am perplexed by it all.
