Close Sexual Abuse
I was molested by a religious leader when I was 5 years old. Then, I was raped by a so-called friend when I was 18 years old.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- It helped to talk to a counselor and friends.
Close Eating Disorders
I have had all three disorders at one point in my life. It started with Anorexia Nervosa for a year. This turned into Bulimia. Now, it is Binge Eating Disorder. I guess I have not really gotten proper treatment to deal with the unerlying causes.
Treatments
- Dietitian Consult Working / Worked
- This was helpful in getting me to understand what I was doing to myself physiologically.
- Group Therapy Not Working
- Tried this in college. Didn't care for it.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- This helped with the behaviors associated with anorexia and bulimia.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Helped in getting me to stop the behavior. But did not really deal with the underlying causes. I guess I did not go long enough.
Open Obesity
My weight is literally impacting every area of my life. I am so disgusted with myself. But can't seem to get a hold of it.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Atkin's Diet...worked but I gained it back.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Has worked great in the past. I can't seem to get motivated to start it again.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- The points is a good program. But difficult to maintain.
Open Caregivers
My father passed away about a year ago. And since I am an only child, I have to take care of my 59-year young mother. There is nothing wrong with her physically. But she is completely dependant. I feel like I have lost my independence.
Open Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: Lacto-ovo vegetarianism (No meat)I'm not a vegetarian...yet. But this year I have gone through periods of giving up meat. And I have really noticed a big difference in how I feel. I can't give up seafood, milk, or eggs though. Hmmm...should I even be here???
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy father passed away a year ago. We were very close.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- This happens at the most unusual times. I can be laughing one second and the next, I am crying because something reminds me of my dad.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- It works for a little while.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I invited 100+ people from the community in a prayer-type event on the anniversary of my dad's death.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- My friends have been amazing! When something like this happens, you really find out who your friends are.
- Talking Working / Worked
- It's been helpful to get my feelings out.
- Time Working / Worked
- Time is the best remedy. You never forget, but you start dealing better as the time goes by.
Open Pulmonary Fibrosis
I don't have this. But my beloved father died from this a year ago. The hardest thing in the world to do is to watch someone struggle to breathe.
Open Sleep Apnea
I have not been officially diagnosed with sleep apnea yet. Should know soon after I get the results of the sleep study. I have no doubt that I have it though.
