Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Been overweight my entire life. At 5'11", I hovered around 280 lbs for years. Two years ago, dropped to 198 lbs, then sprang back up to 245 (present day). Trying to lose it again, but do it right this time (so it will stay off).
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Avoided sodas, made a HUGE difference.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- More asian foods, less American foods.
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- Difficult, but very helpful.
Close ADHD / ADD
Always had trouble paying attention while growing up. My parents tried everything, but nothing worked. I have difficulty concentrating and have an extremely short attention span. I have poor impulse control, and poor mental "noise" control.
Treatments
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- When I do make the time to meditate, it works better than anything else. It's very difficult for me, but very rewarding.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been depressed most of my life, from what I can remember. I never knew that I had "depression", I simply thought that life sucked. After coming close to suicide 3 times, I decided to seek help.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Seems to help in conjunction with meds, but it's nothing groundbreaking for me.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- A fantastic med, when I take it regularly my depression disappears entirely. Few side effects, cheap to get from Canada.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- Probably the best treatment I've ever found for depression.
Open Family Issues
Grew up in a very dysfunctional family. My father abandoned me when I was two, my mother has always been too drugged up to even notice me.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Affirmation from others, regarding my past, was very good for me. I've always felt like I was just whining about my childhood, but now I realize what I went through.
Open Codependency
My mother passed codependency on to me, either through genetics or simple emotional neglect. It has affected my entire emotional life.
Treatments
- Self-help Working / Worked
- I read some fantastic books over the years that really helped me put things into perspective, and better understand myself.
Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)I've always had personality problems that kept me from realizing my true potential. I never knew what was going on, until I read about borderline personality disorder.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
Open Insomnia
I've always had trouble quieting my mind, and thus I've been an insomniac for a very long time. Some nights I sleep wonderfully (generally by overworking myself) but most nights are horrible. I can't live without my sleep, either!
Treatments
- Melatonin Working / Worked
- Quite possibly the best thing I've ever discovered, works *beautifully*!
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Helps quiet the mind and put your body at ease.
Open Obesity
I've been overweight all of my life, it's a never ending battle...
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Trying to avoid processed foods, and high fat foods.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I park at the back of the lot, I take the stairs, I stand instead of sitting on the train. I ride my bike instead of driving, when I can.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Helps to ease my mind and has helped me lose weight.
