I’m With You
I had the same feeling when I read it. Just be patient with yourself.. you might feel lots of conflicting overwhelming feelings about it but just keep an open mind. That is the most valuable book I have ever purchased.

Close Codependency
I have a long history of codependence. I'm trying to break the old patterns, and finally have healthy relationships.
Treatments
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder when I was 18 years old. 9 years later, I'm still struggling with it.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Effexor Not Working
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- When I'm depressed and try to think happy thoughts, I end up just becoming irritated and sometimes more depressed, because I'm not ACTUALLY happy...I'm trying to force it.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Writing helps sometimes. It does help to vent, and after awhile, its good to look back and get perspective on what I was feeling in the moment.
- Zoloft Not Working
- I went on Zoloft when I was initially diagnosed. At 50mg, everything seemed ok. The dr. upped my dosage to 75mg, and then I started having an adverse reaction. I experienced emotional hypercycling, and had to stop all medication whatsoever.
Open Anxiety
I was diagnosed with GAD when I was 21. Still trying to manage it.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Meditation Working / Worked

- Xanax worked initially, but I've found that it decreases in effectiveness over time.
