    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've struggled with depression for 8 years, but probably have had dysthymia much longer. I lost my mother at 19 and was left with an alcoholic father. I think part of the depression comes from not mourning my mother's death, and the emotional abuse of living with an alcoholic father. I have some social anxiety, which is probably why I'm looking for support online.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Several years ago I took it, but didn't feel good enough. Had a very hard time coming off of it. Probably came off too fast.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Worked really well for the panic and anxiety. Dr. didn't think it was working well enough on the depression.
      Remeron Working / Worked
      Am taking it now, 90 mg. Definitely helps me sleep. I feel somewhat better, but not myself. Not sure I'll ever get there again.

    • Close Anxiety

      I've had difficulty with anxiety since high school. I was almost always able to avoid what made me anxious - mainly social situations. I'm 40 now and have more problems with it than I ever have, I guess because it's harder to avoid the situations. These things make me anxious - parties, small group meetings, authority figures, my father, salesmen or women, being late, being teased, speaking in front of others and being in unfamiliar surroundings.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Has helped me stay in the situations longer and work my way through them. Still hate them.

    • Open Hysterectomy

      I have been given hysterectomy as an option. I was having two week periods, so my doc put in a mirena iud on jan. 4. I have been bleeding ever since. She wants to do a hysterectomy, but says that uterine artery embolization is an option.

      Treatments

      Mirena Not Working
      had it for 6 months and bled the whole time. It was removed a month ago, but still bleeding.

    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      I am the youngest of at family of four children with a father who is an alcoholic. My brother is also an alcoholic and uses drugs. My father is no longer speaking to me. I set boundaries to protect myself and my family - it angered him.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Still hard to get past the tapes that run in my head and the worthlessness that I feel.
