    About Me

    I'm 21 years old and every day is a struggle for me. I have moderate to severe panic attacks that I can't shake. I will fixate on something and it bugs me for days and sometimes weeks. I am OCD and sometimes wash my hands up to 80 times a day. I was on Zoloft for 5 years until I took myself off of it. I think I'm ready to ask for help again. I just try and take things one day at a time for right now...

    Interests

    Shopping, decorating, watching movies, singing, listening to music, being with my friends, traveling, reading, browsing the internet, finding help for myself.

    • Close Panic Attacks

      Treatments

      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      I was on Zoloft from the time I was 13 until I was 18. I was placed on this medication for manic depression. It worked wonders but I still had panic attacks occasionally.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Was hospitalized for depression for a week when I was 13, put on Zoloft from ages 13-18, diagnosed as manic depressive, bipolar, and obsessive compulsive.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Relative

      I have lost so many people close to me in my life, starting with my father when I was a year and a half old. He was followed by both of my grandfathers, my second cousin, my great aunt, my great grandmother, my surrogate "uncle" my friend from school one summer, and others. I've been to more funerals than I care to admit.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Poetry Working / Worked
      Prayer Working / Worked
      Remembering Working / Worked
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

    • Open Acne

      I started getting acne when I was eight years old, and it continued until I was about 16 or 17.

    • Open Epilepsy & Seizures

      My mom has had epilepsy since she was 17 and I have had to watch her suffer through seizures since I was little. She takes dilantin and primidone.

      Treatments

      Dilantin Working / Worked
      Mysoline Working / Worked
    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I have been with my boyfriend now for almost two years in January. It is the most normal and healthy relationship I have been in.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      We are both very stubborn so sometimes it's good to just take a step back and breathe and let things cool off before saying something you regret.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking works wonders. If you don't communicate, you won't fix the problem.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing is my own personal outlet.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive disorder in October of this year. I wash my hands repeatedly, sometimes up to 50 times a day.

      Treatments

      Anafranil Working / Worked
      I just started taking this in late October and I can feel it working somewhat. I'm still waiting to see if it kicks in some more.
