Support Groups
Close Sleep Apnea
Recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and put on CPAP machine. I am slight frustrated and very slow improvements.
Treatments
- CPAP Too Soon to Tell
- Frustrated with the machine and the pressures. I don't seem to know enough about it. Struggling with it. I am happy if I can get a few hours with the mask on at night...when I wake up feeling like I am suffocating...I am done for the evening.
Close Menopause
Dealing with the many Symptoms of menopause
Open Environmental Allergies
Treatments
- Nasacort AQ Somewhat Helpful
- I can't really tell...we are still trying to get me through the allergy screening without a big reaction.
Open Seasonal Affective Disorder
I have SAD and use Light therapy to help along with changes in diet, holistic living.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered from depression throughout my life. I believe that I am genetically predisposed to it, as several relatives dealt with it also.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- the only problem is keeping consistent with the practice...must meditate every day to get full positive effect.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- affirmations and postive thinking is also something that must be consistent...I have used many tools including subliminal programs on the computer to run positive affirmation along with guided meditation
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I highly recommend counseling...but make sure you have the right therapist...in most of my session I did learned more from the books and research I did then anything the therapist ever told me...my last counselor was the best...he actually gave me tools that I could use...he did more than just listen to my depression woes.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Always helps to have the support of family and friends.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Never worked.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Always to release the the negative thought patterns or to talk through the way you are feeling
- Zoloft Not Working
- I no longer use Zolft as I flat lined on it...I no longer was creative or could actually function on it....I soon felt nothing at all. I t worked at first but after the the third year...the above symptoms started to occur.
