Support Groups
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Long story short, I'm a survivor of physical and emotional abuse. I grew up in an abusive home and until recently, really did not know or understand the extent of the abuse or how the emotional /psychological abuse was perpetuated(sp?). Most of this craziness was created by my mother who seeks to control and manipulate every situation to her advantage. She doesn't want the secret of abuse or the fact that she is unstable to get out. I'm the only person in my family who will be honest.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- I am seeing a marriage and family therapist who has literally been a God-send.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I pray and spend at least a little time with God daily. This is where I draw most of my strength to deal with life and it's ups and downs.
Close Depression
Depression runs in my family. My mother, my sister and I have all had to struggle with this. I have had some anxiety which always seems to run alongside my depression like the "evil twins." I am coping some days are better than others. If not for my faith in God, I know I would not be here today!!!
Treatments
- Lexapro Not Working
- Very strange effect on me. I actually started having really strange, wacky thoughts on this one!!!
- Prozac Not Working
- Zoned me out. I was no longer depressed because I was no longer there!! lol
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- This is the best medication I've found. It is tough when you have to change dosages for any reason, but I have been on theis medication for about 5 to 6 years.
- Reading Working / Worked
- Reading positive and encouraging books about my spirituality or self-help that has a bit of a spiritual bent!!! Does wonders to help educate, relate and encourage me.
Open Environmental Allergies
Type of allergy: PollenI was officially diagnosed with several allergies in my mid 20's, however I know now that I have suffered from them since early childhood. They became acute later on after having my tonsils removed!! I have often wonder if there may be a greater immune issue underneath all this. Hope not.
Treatments
Open Alcoholism
I am actually an ACOA, but have been involved in 12 step off and on for almost 15 years. Also, like the Celebrate Recovery groups that are beginning to pop up all over the country. Very powerful, if you find the right group.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- Wonderful program. It was thru ACOA that I was able to make a decision to renew my relationship with Christ!!!
Open Infidelity
Not ready yet
Open Breakups & Divorce
Have been divorce once. Infidelity and emotional abuse was the norm. I now remarried...happily!! Thank you God!!
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Have had allergies much of my life. Also, became aware in my teens that there was some kind of immuno-deficiency problem. Had my tonsils removed. About 3 years later was plagued by chronic sinus infections. Started allergy shots in my 20's which have been a real life saver. Still battle issues of fatigue, headaches, body aches and other mysterious symptoms.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Helps even out moods and depression. Wondering how much of this could be from chronic illness.
