    • About Me

      Looking for support with Anxiety and Depression. Just recently developed this - and I'm REALLY looking for support with the obtrusive thoughts. Seems and feels like a vicious cycle.

      Arthur is actually my 3 year old German Shepherd Dog. He's a complete fruit and makes me laugh whether I want to or not. I'm interested in decorating my home (my office is semi done) and refinishing some things around the house. I also would like to try my hand at making soaps.

    • Close Anxiety

      about April 1st 09-ish started developing anxiety - now in therapy looking for some support from people who've been there and can tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      I haven't become hysterical like I did in early April or feel that I needed to get in the nearest vehicle and drive myself to the mental unit. I still have obsessive thoughts, but bottom line this takes the edge off. My body has gotten used to it and I'm not sleepy when I take it anymore.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Well - when I'm in a good mood this works. Or right at the start of feeling anxiety I just try to flip the switch real quick and start talking to Arthur (I'm not crazy, right? ha) and I tell him that it's "just anxiety" I'm not dying and I try and laugh about something, anything.
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      Gave some slight insomnia first few nights - I know I feel panicky in the morning like I need it right away when getting up. Did not have that before the Zoloft. Also not sure if it's the zoloft or the anxiety but I've probably lost a few pounds, just have no appetite.
    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      Was diagnosed about 4 or 5 years ago. I quit smoking March of 08 and am trying to live a healthy lifestyle to battle this. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. CFS BAH-LOWS! :)

    • Open Endometriosis

      Diagnosed about 1998 or 99 - had laproscopy, D&C done shortly thereafter.

      Treatments

      Depo-Provera Working / Worked
      Took it after my surgery which was in I think 2001 until about 2007. I did gain some weight but I attribute it to trying to stop smoking. I was probably about 95 pain free during that time.
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      I wasnt aware right away but this is something that needs to be taken every day whether you have pain or not it will PREVENT pain. I have taken 800mg every day for about 9ish years. It helps tremendously and obviously helps with other pain as well.
      Famvir Working / Worked
      Ive been on this since mid 2008 and I do not take the placibo pills. It is not as good as Depo but still keeping me relativly pain free.
      Oral Contraceptives Not Working
      I cant remember if it was Yasmin or Yaz but I was on it for about 6 or more months and I wanted to rip out my innards myself. Dont use this drug. It blows.
    • Open Career Changes

      I've been at my job (health care vendor) for over 5 years. I only got the job because I knew someone in HR. I went to school for graphic design. I'd like to get back into the creative feild but I feel like I've been out of the game so long that everything's changed.
