Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I have suffered with social anxiety since I was about 15 or 16 years old. Probably before that as well. I have been in therapy for about twenty years off and on with some very good therapists with moderate results. I have tried meds but really don't feel comfortable using that method of treatment. My frustration comes with the fact that I seem to be getting worse as I get older, not better. I am 41 years old and have a very sucessful career and life but have so much more to offer.....
Treatments
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Don't like being on any meds....
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Works when I'm able to actually calm down and meditate....
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Worked great until I gained weight. Also, going off this drug was scarey.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- This is one of my best methods....I've used it for years and it seems to work well for me although I sometimes feel like a "fake".
- St. John\'s Wort Working / Worked
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- Makes me fall asleep....
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Really routine excercise helps me considerably. I need to work out vigorously and frequently though.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- When I just stop thinking about all the negative and force myself through things it can help. Having goals and working hard helps too.
Close Breakups & Divorce
I have been divorced twice, in a few other serious relationships and I always seem to end them because I am ultimately not satisfied....I am trying to recognize my patterns and become a better partner for future relationships.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Leave Somewhat Helpful
- Ran away to South Africa and it was helpful to get away and spend some time trying to figure out who I was.....but ultimately, you can't run away from your life.....it follows you wherever you go!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- In individual therapy now and it is very helpful
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking and communicating with friends is one of the best things that I can do for myself.
