    • Close Phobia

      Developed Emetophobia when I was 13 years old. I would not eat in fear of throwing up and did not go anywhere in public other than school in fear of seeing it or throwing up in public. I would eat my two bites of an apple and crackers in the bathroom during lunch time while at school. Went to counseling for a year and eventually forced myself not to be controlled by my phobia. I still have ritualistic behavior with it, where I still look for it and expect to see it wherever I go.

      Treatments

      Acceptance Working / Worked
      Forcing myself in situations(Bartending for years, always at social drinking events) have made it easier to get over. I am still phobic, but it is more controlled and does not affect my eating or being scared to eat in public due to fear of throwing up.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Constantly telling myself that there is no harm in doing it or seeing. Identifying with how limited my life would be if I allowed it to continue to control my life. Refusal to let something like this control my life. Affirming what I wanted.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have always been pretty athletic and I want to get back to that, but be in even better shape than I have ever been. I want lean definition. Working on a solid 10lbs of fat loss.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Working / Worked
      What I realized made the process slow down is that if I in-took too many calories. Even though I will stick to just meats and veggies I have to make sure I watch the fatty meats and cheese. Atkins is the fastest way to lose in a short amount of time, love it!
      Counting Calories Working / Worked
      Perfect. I try not to go over 1,000 a day. This helps a lot, but I find that if intake a lot of carbs I only loose one pound a week, versus on Atkins I'll loose anywhere from 3-5lbs a week.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Plenty of veggies and lean protein. Low/No-Carbs. Try to limit the amount of Alcohol, but that is the hard part-Ha!
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      30 Minutes of Cardio(Hiking, Bike Riding, and Treadmill, Circuit Video) a day. Weight lift for arms every other day and crunches every other day.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      At a make it or break it point with my 3 year relationship. Our connection is amazing; my inner issues are damaging. What will win?

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Working on ME is the best thing I can do.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Especially to insightful people. Happy people in healthy relationships.
    • Open Bisexuality

      Because I have been bisexual for over 10 years and so is my ex.

    • Open Anxiety

      Was formally diagnosed with Anxiety when I thought I might have had OCD, a bit releaved to find out I was not. Needless to say I worry obsessively.

      Treatments
