    • Close Self-Injury

      Hi. My name is Sandy. I have been cutting myself since October 12 2005--one day after my daughter died at birth. I dont know why I did it. I felt hopeless, mad, guilty. I blamed myself and still do for losing her. I first cut myself on impulse. I couldnt sleep. I felt relief. But only for a little while. I go to therapy. But sometimes I get to that point, 2 am, hopeless, crying, blaming. Back to the first time...and I do it again.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Kind of stabilizes my depression, which in turn helps to not cut. As much.
      BuSpar Not Working
      Has not worked. Makes me feel light headed and I space out. I also shake and feel light shocks in my arms and legs.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I go to counseling for an abusive relationship. I talk to her about the cutting. Not sure if its going to help yet. I hope so.
      Lexapro Not Working
      I took it for 1 week, then started having suicidal thoughts.
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      Working good. I dont take it every day. Just when I start feeling fidgety and it calms me way down and mellows me out. I lose the desire to cut.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My name is Sandy. I met and fell in love with the man of my dreams almost 4 years ago. We moved in together right away. Reality hit me in the face--literally. I have been away since June. Im scared. I have no self esteem, or any idea what to do with myself, but Im free. Hopefully forever.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Ive always had depression, but it worsened in 2001, when my mom was discovered to have cancer and it was too late to save her. The depression has grown, filling me, taking over and spilling over into every aspect of my life.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      seems to be working with my new increased dose of 600mg.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Did not work. Made me much worse, and irrational.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      seems to help. I look forward to it every week.
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      Diagnosed with PCOS at around 20yrs old. Havent really been treated for it. Lost my daughter in Oct 2005 at almost 7 mths pregnant.
