Open Self-Injury

Anxiety attacks lead to me wanting to harm myself to feel that I am really alive and not numb inside

Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell

Open Graves' Disease

Hyperthyroidism discovered during treatment for depression - usually underactive thyroid causes depression like symptoms apparently, whereas I had anxiety attacks.

Open Family Issues

Parents divorced when I was 6, have 2 brothers and 1 sister. Dad died in 2001 (had remarried). Brothers have started being very cruel (words) to me. Not much of a relationship with my mum - she is not "mumsy", although she has had real struggles bringing us up. Am fed up of older brother dumping all his issues onto the rest of the family and being a control freak.

Treatments

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

I see a psychiatrist regularly and these issues come up a lot

Writing Somewhat Helpful

I end up bringing up all the negative emotions and nothing gets tackled, I just end up upset and crying.
