Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I was diagnosed with PTSD b/c of feeling responsible for the death of a friend's grandpa. Read my first journal entry. What I saw still haunts my memories but with God's help I am getting past the guilt I felt and I have not had a flashback for a while now. Praise God! He is good!
Treatments
- Writing Working / Worked
- I feel better when I write about this because I cannot seem to get it out verbally. At least I can talk about it in this sort of context.
- St. John\'s Wort Working / Worked
- This is an herb that is used as a sedative, antidepressant and much more. I take 3 tablets of 300 mg. each a day. I just started but it seems to be helping already.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- God is the great physician and mighty counselor. The best person or counselor to talk to. Highly recommended!
Close Self-Injury
I started out with head banging during PTSD flashbacks a few months ago. It progressed, then I knocked myself unconcious one night for about 15 minutes and got scared so I switched methods and now I mainly use scratching/cutting on my arms and legs.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Helps me calm down especially if I can type it out because that helps me keep focused on who I'm actually talking to. Everybody and everything else fades away.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeMy uncle had brain cancer which he faught valiantly against for a long time. He developed a blood clot in his leg which prevented further treatment. He lost his battle and passed away 3/17/2007.
Treatments
Open Depression
I've struggled with depression ever since I was 14 years old on and off. I had fallen deeply into depression lately since my uncle just passed away. Now I am doing better. I started eating a little bit more sometimes and it has helped tremendously.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Prayer has always helped me to find strength and encouragement. God never fails to meet us in our darkest times.
Open War & Terrorism
My father works in New York City and witnessed 9/11. Read journal entry 4/10. Also, I am now being stalked at work since April 5th, 2007.
Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
I've had this ever since I was little girl. My sister has it way worse. I've only ever fainted once. Came close a couple other times but most of the time I can keep it pretty well under control.
Open Raynaud's Disease
I've had this since I was young. It affects primarily my fingers and occasionally my toes but mainly my fingers. They will turn white and get numb and it hurts to try and return the blood flow to them.
Open Military Families
I have a friend who is in the Army and soon to be deployed for Iraq for a 2 year term diactivating bombs. Very concerned! None of my family is in the military right now but I support all the men and women who serve or have served our country so bravely and their families.
Open Accidents
I was in a car accident where I was rear ended at a stoplight. The girl behind me rear ended me going at least 30 mph. I have whiplash and also found out that I have arthritis in my spine after having an x-ray done.
Open Arthritis
I found out I have arthritis in my spine after a car accident that sent me to the ER and having an x-ray done on my back.
Open Rape
I am not really sure if this is or not but I still feel violated by what happened. I was attacked from behind.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaI've relapsed back into this. I am restricting my food and purging occasionally and taking laxatives. I exercise to the point of collapse also. Will be going to counseling soon!
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- People just don't really understand a lot of times but they try to which is the important thing.
