Open Anxiety

Before I got my medication, panic attacks were frequent, especially at night. I never stopped shaking, literally never. I couldn't do much.

Treatments

Lexapro Working / Worked

panic attacks are much less frequent.

Open Dizziness & Vertigo

I get it from time to time. Usually it comes in waves, so it's hard to diagnose. It's from the Lyme Disease.

Open Lyme Disease

Lyme messed with me badly. It was responsible for a lot of mental challenges, and it has given me white matter lesions in my brain.

I have Lyme Disease. In my case, I get dizzy if I don't have sugar-apparently Lyme feeds on sugar. I had a huge weight gain-30 pounds-because of it.

Open Schizophrenia

I had it as a child. I heard noises a lot. I saw the scariest faces. I remember thinking my Ferbie talked to me and was going to kill me. I remember staying away from the wall because the Cookie Monster always popped out to eat me. I remember seeing a rotted face in the front door window. It was scary. It only comes back sometimes, mostly just voices. I hear screams occasionally, nothing huge at all.

Open Alcoholism

I used to drink every night. I used to get drunk then have sex. One night I had too much. I nearly died. They didn't bother pumping my stomach. They thought I was going to die. I can no longer drink hard alcohol. My body rejects it.

Open Codependency

I used to be EXTREMELY codependent. I got over it very recently. I never knew how bad it could get.

Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

I used to be too scared to talk. Up until the 5th grade, no one could get me to talk. I was terrified of rejection. It was impossible for me to talk to people I didn't know. I couldn't have fun, ever. All I did was stress.

Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I got over it this year thanks to my medication. I was bound to a schedule I would cry and be terrified if one move I made went out of place. I literally timed myself by the minute.

Open Phobia

I'm terrified of rejection. Absolutely terrified. I have been for my entire life, literally. I also have an unreasonably high fear of being buried alive and spiders.

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

I still see his dead body. I still see myself staring at the IVs in my arms as the doctors told my parents I might not overcome my alcohol poisoning. I remember too many tears from too many times after his death. I remember her screaming at me to take my clothes off. I remember the reflection of his dead face. Flashbacks are often.
