Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI am a happy positive person, my body just doesn't always cooperate
Treatments
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- made me sleepy.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- can't always settle myself down enough.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- didn't like it at all. I was 18, I think that antidepressants made me even more depressed at that age. i stopped after a few weeks.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- the most important thing someone who has clinical depression can do. That and take your meds...
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- works well to counter sleepiness caused by Zoloft
- Writing Working / Worked
- your journal is like a weapon for depression. I have written myself well so many times, I've lost count
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- it works. but I am always so sleepy. I find that it isn't effective enough against PMS mood altering symptoms - I am fine all month but I always get depressed around the time I am due to have my period. It is like clock work I know exactly which days I am going to be sad, angry, etc.
Close ADHD / ADD
tired, weary, need a boost in order to get in control of this illness.
Treatments
- Adderall Working / Worked
- I like Adderall because I am a lot more mellow than when I was on Ritalin. I was only recently diagnosed with ADHD and have only tried the two. Only, the meds only work if you take them. Sometimes, I just don't want to keep putting stuff in my body. I get tired of taking pills, I lose track of my medication schedule. I just stop taking them all together and things in my life - the routines that worked,etc - slowly unravel. Then it is back to square one.
- Ritalin Working / Worked
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- helps me from staying stuck on thoughts and hyperfocusing especially on things that are not usually as important as others.
- Writing Working / Worked
Open Stress Management
I am actually getting pretty good at stress management..but I haven't been taking my antidepressants and want to do the kind of things that are gong to facilitate my transition.
Treatments
- Emotions Anonymous (EA) Considering
- Music Working / Worked
- Patience Working / Worked
- I count in my head a lot especially when I am on long lines. I try not to take things personally and have become much more patient then I use to be.
- Physical Exercise Considering
- Writing Working / Worked
Open Abstinence & Celibacy
I want to stop pretending that sex without love is satisfying when really all it does is bring me pain and sadness.
Open Food Allergies
Type of allergy: Other FoodsI miss apples. I use to love apples and I am allergic to them and I miss apples and apple juice. Talk about the forbidden fruit...Now I def. understand Eve.
Treatments
- Allergy Shots Not Working
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
I lose approximately 1.5 weeks every month in coping with symptoms related to PMDD and PMS; I have been suffering from painful periods and severe irritability since I was 12 years old - 27 now. I am really good at coping but sometimes it isn't easy.
Treatments
- Evening Primrose Oil Working / Worked
- this actually works really well
- Naproxen Working / Worked
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- Yasmin - my water weight gain is out of control. But, I have less intense cramps. I am planning to stop taking them at the end of this month. I have been on them too long - 7 years - I want to see how my body operates without it.
- Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
- I didn't believe it would actually work but it does help quite a bit - especially with pms symptoms - not so much once my period has begun.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- doesn't really help much with irritability. Just makes me very sleepy and incapacitated during the first few days of my period...lazy feeling and fatigued.
