    • Close Caring For Aging Parents

      Hi, everyone... I've always had a great relationship with my mom until about ten years ago. She's now in her senior years, and so much has changed. She used to be emotionally strong, confident, assertive, and very much in control of her life. However, within the past several years, she's showing possible signs of dementia. I want very much to help her, but she's proud, and seems to feel as though I'm treating her like a child. Would appreciate any positive feedback. Thanks!

    • Close Depression

      I was recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and have experienced symptoms which include feelings of worthlessness, sadness, crying spells, along with changes in sleeping habits. Sometimes, I lose my appetite, and cannot eat.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I started taking Zoloft a few weeks ago, but haven't noticed any significant improvement in my mood. I will talk with doc to request a change in meds.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I'm a domestic violence survivor. I still experience the flashbacks which never seem to go away. I'm no longer in this type of relationship, but it has left permanent emotional scars.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      I think that counseling has helped me.
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      Only attended a few sessions....may return at some point.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      During my past relationship, I was sexually abused, but didn't have the courage to leave before things got worse. I rarely discussed it with anyone, and now I finally realize that it was NOT my fault....so no more shame.

    • Open Family Issues

      Over the past several months, my siblings and I are much closer. Since mom's illness, our bond has become closer. Unfortunately, an older sister continues to stir up "family drama," but we've chosen to ignore her.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I've discussed this situation with my children, and other family members. I've also mentioned it during previous counseling sessions for other issues.

    • Open Asthma
      Type: Childhood Asthma

      I'm joining this group because I've had asthma since the age of 11 months. It's been a lifetime of misery.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Advair never worked for me.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      Albuterol/Proventil has helped to improve my breathing.
      Flovent Working / Worked
      Since taking Flovent on a daily basis, I have skipped several doses. I think it works better when taken consistently.
