    • Close Self-Injury

      I have been dealing with self injury in one way or another for about 12 years, but I have been a cutter for the last seven. I had a recent relapse, but I'm working back towards recovery.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I really loved my therapist that I had a few years ago. I've started seeing a new therapist at the psych center at my university, and I think that one is too soon to tell.
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      Doesn't really do it for me.
      Talking Working / Worked
      It helps, but I'm finding myself unable to really talk about it with anyone these days.
      Tattoos Working / Worked
      I got a tattoo where I used to cut the most, on my right thigh. It was a very cathartic and emotional experience.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      It's really cathartic sometimes, but not when the creativity dries up.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was molested and raped by a neighbor who was a teenager when I was 8. It was 8 years before I told anyone.

      Treatments

      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Music is a huge part of my life and it can really help to get a grasp on emotions I can't articulate or release things I'm thinking about or feeling.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I've talked about it with a few select people about the abuse in depth, and it can be really helpful in working through it, the trouble is, finding someone who I trust enough to talk about it with
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Somewhat Helpful
      I get stuck with it sometimes, or I have the tendency to breeze through it and not really work.

    • Open Family Issues

      My family is pretty splintered apart. My parents and I don't get along, and haven't since I moved out. I have four living brothers, only one I have a relationship with. One is in prison and another who is schizophrenic and I haven't seen him in about 8 years. I have yet another brother who I have never met. My dad signed away his rights to him before I was born. My parents are manipulative and controlling and were extremely physically abusive with my brothers and emotionally abusive with me.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      I love music, I am a huge music fan and I am a musician myself. It's a big catharsis for me.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I vent about these issues all the time to a lot of people, and it makes me feel better for the time being, but it doesn't fix the problem.

    • Open College Stress

      I am a sophomore in college, currently attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles CA. My hometown is near Chicago IL. My curriculum is very intense, and my social life leaves something to be desired. I also have a long distance boyfriend, which makes things even more difficult.

      Treatments

      Sleep Somewhat Helpful
      It helps, and keeps me functioning, heh.

    • Open Military Families

      My very dear boyfriend is in the Navy, stationed in Pensacola Florida. I am working toward my bachelor's degree in Los Angeles California. The long distance is very hard on us. Also, my big brother is in the Army, stationed in Virginia. Some very big chunks of my heart are in the military.

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am 5'2" and weigh about 178 or so right now. I have tried to get my weight down so many times and it's really hard! I am down almost twenty pounds from my top weight and I'm hoping to lose at least another 40.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Stay away from the junk! So hard!
      Eat Less Working / Worked
      Your perception can get really skewed, so it's important to have a grasp of good portion size
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I try to mix it up and I have a plan where I never do the same thing two days in a row.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      I have had panic attacks since I can remember. I have a few a week.

      Treatments

      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      I have a hard time quieting my mind that much, but it does help so much if you can get it to be effective.
      Paxil Too Soon to Tell
      It has just been prescribed to me, so I'm waiting to see what happens.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
