  • Support Groups

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      In the past, I have attempted suicide and have not wanted to go on in life. It goes up and down a lot. I have cut myself in the past. Just looking to be happy.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I used to be anorexic, and I take laxatives on a regular basis. I have been drivien to depression because of my over-eating problem. I lost 15 pounds due to not eating and then gained it all back. Then I lost it again, and so on. Many times I have tried to make myself throw up but have been unsuccessful. The emotional roller coaster is tearing me apart.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I see a psychiatrist three times a week but am unable to be honest.
      Residential Treatment Center Not Working
      I was enrolled for 6 months and then released. Since then, I have relapsed.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      When I get hooked on something, I obsess to the point where I can't think about anything else. Especially picking my face. I go through periods where if I do not pick my face, I have a nervous breakdown. I also have an extremely addictive behavior.

    • Open Hearing Loss & Deafness

      My mom has been loosing her hearing since she was 25 years old. She now has a cohlear implant, but in the past three years, it stopped working. Shes been very hard to live with, especially now since I have been dignosed with hearing loss.I am mostly scared about being deaf like her one day, especially because I have inhearited her OCD, heavy weight, asthma, and allergies. I'm here for anyone who needs to talk about it, since I first hand live with a deaf person.
