Close Depression

Treatments

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful

I understood why i did waht i did but I did not like the counselor trying to get into my head. I felt very uneasy journaling my true feelings and letting the counselor read it.

Meditation Working / Worked

prayer works

Paxil Not Working

made me nauseated.

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

through prayer and counseling I found that speaking to myself positively elevated my mood.

Wellbutrin Not Working

Made me think someone was outside my 2nd floor window at 3am, I was so paranoid I crawled on the floor and tried to listen before I peered out to find out noone was there and there was no way anyone could have scaled my building!

Zoloft Not Working

Gave me diarrhea

Treatments

Couples Counseling Not Working

I tried it with my 2nd marriage, I had my mind set up so it didnt work, I didnt love him and I wanted out.

Leave Working / Worked

Always works for me. Its hard at first, you initially want to take hime back but if you could get past the first 2-3weeks without allowing yourself to go back to him/her...you will find that it was the best choice and life gets better.

Music Working / Worked

Helps me to forget my troubles

Support Groups Working / Worked

online support groups help me vent and get advice from people who dont know me and can offer no judgemental, non biased advice based on their own experience dealing with a similar situation.

Talking Not Working

Doesnt work for me because when my mind is made up it is made up. I believe that everyone knows their flaws better than the next so why should I tell a man he needs to be a man? I think he knows what is wrong and just needs to figure out how to fix his issue, however I cant wait around while you figure it out!

Time Considering

Time will allow the person to either shape up or make their hole bigger. I'll give a man the benefit of the doubt but eventually time will run out and if our relationship isnt where I want it to be by at least the two year mark then I will eventually count my losses and leave.
