    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression when I was 13, and then again when I was 19 after 2-3 years of being "ok".

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I saw an art therapist when I was younger. I miss my sessions with her, she helped me get through school.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      It's amazing how much easier it gets when you tell people.
      Writing Working / Worked
      This helps a lot, even if nobody reads it.
    • Close Anger Management

      I take my anger out on anything. I break things, I hurt myself, I've even killed pets in the past. I hate myself when I do things like that, but I do it because Ithink I deserve to hate myself more at the time.

    • Open College Stress

      I'm a 3rd year university student, and every day I get closer to wanting to drop out.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      When I was 14 I was abused by my Stepfather. I haven't spoken to my Mother since as she took his side and I guess she doesn't care anyway. I think that what he did is still haunting me.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      My art therapist helped me through this.
      Leave Working / Worked
      I was put in a foster home when I was 15 years old, I felt safer.
    • Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients

      My Grandma (my primary caregiver) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2000. She's now found a tumour in her womb which may cause complications for her. :(

    • Open Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I had Bulimia when I was a teenager, now I overeat. I find it hard to control my habits and sometimes starve myself.

    • Open Insomnia

      For some reason I can't sleep at night, only in the day.. I mean, what the hell? It stresses me out more than anything.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      If I listen to an album that's relaxing, I sometimes fall asleep over it.
      Valerian Not Working
      I don't notice any effects
    • Open Self-Injury

      I've been self harming for as long as I remember.

      Treatments

      Squeezing Ice Not Working
      I was told to do this, but the ice just melts and makes a mess
    • Open HIV

      I was infected on purpose by someone who obviously can't deal with it. He has to infect others to make himself feel better. I found out last year.

    • Open Bereavement

      My Great Uncle (who was like a Father to me) passed away over 2 years ago, and I still haven't got over it. I don't believe he's dead... I can't get my head around it. It's confusing...

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Tori Amos - Winter. The only song that can help me vent and cry.
    • Open Bisexuality

      I'm bisexual. I like men. I like women. People call me gay because I like men. It's sad how people cannot comprehend bisexuality. If anyone tells me it's a phase again, I'll probably kill them.

    • Open Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I only live for half a year. As soon as the shorter days come, I get nothing done.

    • Open Arthritis

      I have it in every joint. The worst is in my knees.

      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Helps a little I guess
    • Open Dyspraxia & Apraxia

      I was diagnosed last year.. but nobody at school decided to test me, they just moaned because they couldn't read my writing..

    • Open Shopping Addiction

      Always in debt because i'm compulsive and impulsive when it comes to shopping..

    • Open Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      Found out I was Borderline after nearly killing myself in front of my ex and consequently seeing a therapist. It makes sense now I guess.

    • Open Food Addiction

      If I have food in the house, I will eat it. I used to have bulimia, and now I need to find the strength not to eat so much.

    • Open Financial Challenges

      I can't budget. Every season I spend until I run out, then I live off of nothing. I spend about £1,000 every month then have £300 to last me 3 months. Not good.

    • Open Gay Men's Challenges

      I'm bisexual, but I feel that a lot of the challenges that gay men face can apply to me, too

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I'd like to find a diet that I can stick to.

    • Open Abstinence & Celibacy

      Sex got me in to a mess, so I have no sex drive.. I feel that if I were to get with someone, it'd have to be a celibate relationship, with true feelings rather than one based on lust. I don't think I could have sex again for a long time.

    • Open Back Pain

      I'm studying back pain in class... just here for some pointers.

    • Open Macular Degeneration

      My Grandma has it... I'm here to collect information for her
