    • About Me

      I'm still living at home and hoping to go to graduate school soon. My Mom and I just moved to North Carolina so I'm still looking for a job. I pretty much spend my days at home.

      From confused500 September 29

      I totally know what you mean. I have the same problem. Plenty of aquaintances, co-workers, moms, etc. but no real friends. And everytime I make a friend (or I think she's a friend) it doesn't last. I feel so used. The most recent one became a really good friend. We spoke on the phone or saw each other almost everyday. She poured her heart out to me when her husband cheated on her, & I was there for her 100%. Then they decided to work things out. That was 2 years ago. The only time I see her is when we run into each other in the grocery store or something. Anyway, I feel your pain because I have the same problem. I even took myself off of Facebook because I hardly had any friends, and the ones I did have weren't really friends, just people I know - aquaintances. I was getting really depressed over it & started obsessing over it. So I just signed off. I was obsessed with the fact that I couldn't get more than 30 friends. You are not alone! Feel better.

    • Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      LauraEB hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Treatments

      Counting Calories Working / Worked
      I am currently counting calories to maintain my weight loss and to occasionally make adjustments (gain/lose) to my weight.
      Curves Working / Worked
      I use Curves to maintain my weight loss and have lost another 15 pounds or so with it. I also love that I am gaining muscle mass instead of fat.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      I didn't officially join. My Aunt gave me all of the materials and I lost 50 pounds.
    • Open Loneliness

      I have trouble making and keeping friends. I participate in very few activities that might allow me to make friends. I don't know if my expectations are too high or if I just haven't found the right people to make friends with. The only people I interact with on a regular basis are my mother and sister and around them I never feel good enough.

      Treatments

      Curves Somewhat Helpful
      Ive made a few acquaintances at Curves and enjoy seeing them frequently but I would hardly call anyone and invite them over for coffee.
    • Open Acne

      I have suffered from Acne since puberty. My Acne isn't anywhere near as bad as some but I am tired of having to deal with it every month.

      Treatments

      Benzoyl Peroxide Not Working
      For the longest time this is what I used. I thought it helped me but really I saw no difference. I just figured my skin would be a lot worse without it.
      Retin-A Somewhat Helpful
      My doctor prescribed this about a year ago after he noticed a particularly nasty pimple near my nose. It helps a little bit. My break outs don't seem to get quite as bad but I'm not impressed with it.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I've had ADD for as long as I can remember and it has contributed significantly to my struggles with low self-esteem. I struggled early in my schooling and still struggle with concentration.

      Treatments

      Research Somewhat Helpful
      After reading more about ADD I notice more when I am zoning out and when my attention wanders.
    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I have an under active thyroid.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Not Working
      I don't feel any different now than I did before I started taking Levoxyl.
