    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with Major Depression four years ago and struggle with it to this day. I hope to find support and kindred spirits in this community.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      It worked very well for me in the beginning, though now I am having more side effects. I had a horrible episode after discontinuing it suddenly, and after getting back on it it just hasn't been the same. Side effects have been anorgasmia, insomnia and clenched jaw.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      It's helpful sometimes when coping with mild anxiety or insomnia problems.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I do it as best I can, and it helps when I can manage it.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Not pursuing counseling at this time, but it was very helpful to me for many years.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I get an enormous amount of support from friends and family, for which I am forever grateful.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      Prescribed to combat anorgasmia and also help with ADD, it seems to make a small difference.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      It's not something I do consistently yet, but when I do it tends to help.
      Abilify Somewhat Helpful
      It seemed to help a lot when I first started taking it to supplement the Lexapro but its hard to tell what if any difference its making right now with various medication adjustments.
    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I've been diagnosed with ADD for about a year, though I now realize that I've had it pretty much as long as I can remember.

      Treatments

      Hippotherapy Considering
      I don't know much about this but it sounds very intriguing.
      Music Considering
      Ritalin Working / Worked
      It seemed to help, but my psychiatrist recommended discontinuing it now that I'm on Wellbutrin.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Taking it to help with Lexapro side effects as well as ADD.
    • Open Insomnia

      I've recently developed problems sleeping that have been severely affecting my ability to keep up with school and even just keep in contact with friends.

      Treatments

      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Exercise Too Soon to Tell
      Biking to school will hopefully help me fall asleep and stay asleep more easily.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      My boyfriend of almost a year broke up with me recently. I was shocked, as everything had seemed to be fine. Apparently, he hadn't been telling me that things weren't fine for him.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I'm leaning very heavily on my friends, as my family is far away. It's the only reason I haven't completely fallen apart.
      Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I want to talk about it, but talking about it means thinking about it and that usually means crying and pain. But I guess I need to process those emotions before I can move on.
