    • About Me

      I've been trying to think of something i can put here that i won't have to change constantly. since my life is a roller coaster, it's hard for even me to keep up with it. I'm young. I am living with something that may or may not be bipolar disorder (i don't know if i trust doctors who say i am) and i am also living with being a drug addict. obviously. i have a hard time dealing with life and my emotions, yes. but i am trying my best to get by and just living one day at a time.

      Hang in there, Sara. I've never used, but I'm an alcoholic. I know all too well about the days when you're laying in bed and your craving pounds inside your head relentlessly. I'm having one of those days now and I feel close to giving in.

    • Close Heroin Addiction & Recovery

      I started using frequently around March 2006. Was introduced to it a while before but never pursued it. But I became addicted for most of 2006. Until I overdosed and almost lost my life. It's been a rough road since and i am working my ass off to stay clean. for once i can say that i am proud of myself.

      Treatments

      Love Working / Worked
      I always took advantage of just how many people care for me and love me. But now i realize.
      Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
      Attended for a few months at the end of 2006 by choice. Had a great counseler and finished the program with flying colors.

      helped me to detox and get the poison out of my body.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Been suffering from depression for many years. It seems to overtake me at times and i feel just plain out of control. i do need to learn how to live with this disease and make the best out of life. it is very difficult for me.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      zombified me a few years ago
      Celexa Not Working
      didn't help
      Effexor Not Working
      OH GOD, this drug is evil. if you want to feel nothing and be unable to cry, then i suggest it. and the withdrawals are hell.
      Lexapro Not Working
      nothing but nasty side effects galore
      Love Working / Worked
      This makes me happiest!
      Paxil Working / Worked
      i have nothing bad to say about paxil. it was one drug i stayed on for years.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      it just isn't possible to see someone who can actually help me without any money or insurance
      Seroquel Not Working
      i wouldn't recommend it
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Helped me sleep at one point.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      was on for a long time then stopped it. now i started taking it again recently.
    • Open Prescription Drug Abuse

      i have an addict mentality so prescription drugs are like hitting a jackpot. haven't abused them in a long time though and i'm thankful for that.

    • Open Shyness

      Shyness is something that I will probably need my whole life to get over. As i get older it gets easier to meet new people. But i am so self conscious and have no self esteem that it's hard for me to believe that people like me.

      Treatments

      DailyStrength Working / Worked
      i love this website! the people on here are great.
      Self-help Working / Worked
      here's how i've helped myself....by saying to myself "shut up and just do it" :)
    • Open Tooth Grinding

      I've been grinding for years. I do it and I don't even notice half the time. I have no insurance or money to go to the dentist and get treated either. I don't get headaches from it though but i know i'm destroying my teeth.

    • Open HPV

      Was diagnosed with HPV a few years ago. I ended up having the LEEP procedure done and it helped my paps to come back normal. Now I am HPV free.

      Treatments

      LEEP Working / Worked
      Worked great.
    • Open Acne

      I've had acne on and off since i hit puberty. Lately it's been more on. I just can't seem to make it go away. Even doctor prescribed things stop working after a while. Not sure if i'll ever be acne free.

      Treatments

      Benzaclin Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for a short while but then decided to burn the hell out of my face.
      Benzoyl Peroxide Working / Worked
      Does work well but you have to constantly use it. And i'm lazy.
      Differin Not Working
      This stuff sucks
      Proactiv Working / Worked
      It worked for a while. But of course it stopped working out of nowhere.
    • Open Self-Injury

      I am not a constant cutter but I've done it several times. It wasn't to get attention, it was because i was just feeling so horrible, i wanted to physically feel how emotionally in pain i was. if that makes any sense.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      Always feels good to get things off your mind.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It's nice to have a therapist who listens.
    • Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      Not only do i have massive PMS and don't feel like myself 2 weeks out of every month, i do believe that i have PMDD. no doubt in my mind

      Celebrex Working / Worked
      Yes, it's not really meant for cramp but it really does help.just don't use it often cuz my dad never has samples anymore

      Definitely helps.yet still in pain.

    • Open Seasonal Affective Disorder

      Seems to just be a part of my depression. the dismal days really get to me sometimes.

      hm well there is never a time i'm alone. i always have someone to rely on for happiness and the pattern just keeps on keeping on. it's comfortable

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      always helps
      Pets Working / Worked
      i love my kitties
      Talking Considering
      dont really talk about it too much but i probably should.
    • Open Children Of Divorced Parents

      I have a very strange situation. My parents have been divorced for about as long as i can remember yet my father lives with my mother. which is normal for me, but that's cuz i'm used to it. they are each others best friend but were just never meant to be married, i guess

    • Open Anxiety

      It seems as I get older, I get more anxious and I even occasionally have panic attacks. Sometimes things are just too much for me to handle.

      Treatments

      Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
      There are times i just have to keep telling myself to breath. not as easy as it seems.
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      Just makes me pass out. perhaps that's the point of it. no more anxiety if you are asleep.
