Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and panic. I wanted to join some type of group to talk and listen. I have been ill since Dec of 1995
Treatments
- Ativan Not Working
- It might take little edge off but not much
- Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
- Thinking about breathing scares me. If I just take a few deep breaths to calm down it helps
- BuSpar Somewhat Helpful
- Use it for PMDD Had to start a week before my period and take it until it finished. I had a hysterectomy so I don't need it anymore
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- I have been on this med since 1995. It does work but nothing will take it all away. I wish there was a magic spell or pill
- Paxil Not Working
- I don't remember. I have been on ,I think, every SSRI there is out there.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Sometimes it helps sometimes it makes it worse I start thinking. I also have PTS. I am thinking of trying a treatment called EMDR
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been ill since 1995. I have anxiety, panic and depression. Who knows which causes which. I can never figure out If I am anxious or depressed. I justed looked at someones story about their inner critic voice. Wow. I have one also. I tell the drs and they want to put me on anti psychotics. I don't hear voices. It is my own voice arguing with itself. Good and bad. Happy and sad. Negative and positive. I hope this community can help. Nothing else does. Am I normal?
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- Side Effexor. I hear it works well for some people. It didn't for me. Coming off of it was a drag. Headaches. I hear the new XR works better
- EMDR Considering
- I heard this works well for PTS. I will just have to tackle one at a time.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- I have just been weaned off of this one. I don't know if I will be able to maintain. Anxiety about getting bad again. Worked well for PMS
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Helps. Sometimes brings out too much though. It helps to have someone that has had some personal experience that can relate.
Open Menopause
I had a hysterectomy a year and a half ago. I don't know if it helped or not. I am still having hormone problems. No more really bad PMDD or PMS or Bad periods
Treatments
- Estradiol Working / Worked
- Helps with the hot flashes. I call them the sweats. Moods. I don't know yet. I keep getting headaches. Too much or too little I am working with the dr on.
- Estrogen Patch Not Working
- Can't wear it. It itches and peals off. Haven't been able to wear it long enough to tell.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeMy mother in law died in 1995. I had a nervous breakdown. My mom died 10 months after my brother from a broken heart. She was 67 He was 49. My father in law died March of 06. There are more but not enough room to write about them. I hope this community can help.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Sometimes helps. It cleanses and makes me tired
- Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Opening the wounds hurts but I know in the long run it will help.
- Prayer Too Soon to Tell
- I lost most of my faith when I lost my loved ones. It is hard sometimes to pray. When I do it does help.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- You would be surprised about the things that you have hidden in your soul that needs to come out and you didn't even know it. A good counselor is a must.
Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I was diagnosed with eschimic ulcerative colitis about 4 yrs ago. I would break out into a damp sweat and then I would get bad cramps and diarrhea. I felt like I was going to die. I have anxiety and panic so I thought it was the problem. The nurses would tell my husband every time I went to the ER that it was in my head.I had bloody diarrhea and they sent me home. I was finally admitted and was diagnosed. I still don't know much about it or it's causes. I was told nothing can be done. Help.
Open Chronic Pain
I have been having chronic pain in my legs every night. I have had blood tests done. Every thing was normal. the doctor ordered a new blood test. It is supposed to test the way my body stores iron. He has put me on Lyrica. It is a trial to see if it helps. I have been on it for two nights now. I am a member of other communities and I saw this one. I pray for someone to talk to that understands.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Considering
- I am thinking very strongly on this one. I feel like my body is crunched up. I just need to find a good one in AZ.
- Cymbalta Considering
- It may be my next step. New meds are scary.
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- It helps when it is really bad. I just don't tolerate it very well. I am allergic to most pain meds except Torodol. It works great but can only be given by injection.
- Lyrica Working / Worked
- Too soon to tell. I am hoping this community might be helpful. Makes me a little loopy.
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- When it is not too bad the asprin helps for a short while
