Hug
Hugs for the day, hang in there.
Prayer
Hang in there. It might sound silly, but there is always someone who cares that you are here. If we were born, could we not see this as proof that we have purpose? Maybe it is simply to help those who have had the same experiences. You are needed. Big hugs to you.
Hug
MMmwwahhh - Big hug. Wishing you all good things! xoxo Jen

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionTreatments
- Celexa Too Soon to Tell
- Have been taking this for 6 weeks, dose was increased recently, but I don't feel as though it's making any difference.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Considering
- Meditation Considering
- Paxil Not Working
- Caused deeper thoughts of suicide
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- These get overshadowed by darker thoughts.
- Prozac Not Working
- Side effects were causing more distress (sweating, insomnia, shaking)
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- The therapist made me feel like an idiot and I found it patronising.
Close Shyness
Why is it so difficult to speak to people? Other people do it all the time. I would cross the road rather than get into a conversation with someone because I am too embarrassed.
Open Obesity
I have always ben overweight and at times in my life I have been able to lose reasonable amounts of weight. But at the moment I am as heavy as I have ever been and continuing to put on weight - I wish i could motivate myself to go to the gym!
Treatments
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- Slim-Fast Not Working
- Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
- Xenical Not Working
Open High Blood Pressure
I just wish the doctor had explained to me that when I started taking medication for high blood pressure (age 19) that it would be forever. It's also annoying that people assume it's due to being overweight. I have achieved perfect weight in the past and did not see a reduction in blood pressure.
Treatments
Open Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)
Suffered from HUS in 1978 as an 8 month old baby. I now have high blood pressure and depression. Does anybody else have similar issues?
