Close Self-Injury
I am 22 years old and just came out to my family about my SI. The first time I cut I was 11 years old. There are times that I can go months without cutting, but then there are times where I go months without being able to stop. No one ever knew until now. I didn't even know other people did this.....I am in the process now of getting professional help, with the help of my family. I need help....
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- Sometimes talking just makes it worse.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I just started....we'll see what happens.
Close Sexual Abuse
I was 4 years old the first time I was sexually abused. It was by an older family member. And then again through the ages of 9-11, also by a family member. I also was a victim of sexual harrassment in 5th grade by a teacher at my school, and then again in High school by my Gym coach.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
Open Rape
I was raped when I was 15 years old. It took me almost a year before I told anyone. My mom found me on our bathroom floor in fetal position. I had to tell....the emotional pain became so overwhelming.
Treatments
- Rape Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Some sessions really seemed to help. I lived in fear, so somedays would just give me flashbacks or nightmares that night.
- Zoloft Not Working
- It didn't help the anxiety or PTSD at all.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was in an abusive marriage for 3 1/2 years. Almost a year went by before I even knew I was being abused; a friend told me. I always had an excuse for the bruises and handprints. Some days I thought he would kill me. It's terrifying to think that you may not be alive the next day.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- It does help to talk about that. I would love to help other's who are being abused because it is something that I came out of on my own. You can too.
Open Alcoholism
I become very dependent on alcohol! at times.... Alcoholism run's in my family. I had my first taste at 13 yr.s old, and now at 22, sometimes I feel like it owns me. I always stop cold turkey when I drink way too much and get mad, and the night ends in SI....it sucks!
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- I have to stop cold turkey, or I wouldn't be able to stop at all. My alcohol abuse comes and goes....But I never stay sober long.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Everytime I have to apologize for my actions or tell someone something else I did that is stupid, it's a reality check. I do Not need to drink, why do I do it?!?
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I only have a mild OCD. I wash my hands constantly, sometimes with bleach or alcohol. If I'm very stressed out I do "counting rituals", and I also have a "ritual" when I SI. And I obsess over even numbers; everything has to balance out. I also have Emetophobia, which is a fear of Vomiting, or Vomit in general.
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- I couldn't take it long enought, It made me very sick to my stomach.
