    • Close Military Families

      My boyfriend of over a year is in the Army. I met him threw his family who lives in my area in New Jersey, but he is stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Even when he is in the states we only get to see each other for a few days every month, if that. He is getting ready to go to Afghanistan again in May and I'm really dreading it.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I have been taking it for a few months. It took a little while to kick in but it has helped a lot with my anxiety and negative thoughts. I experienced sexual side effects but was able to work through them. Those side effects seemed to be less of a problem as time went on.
    • Close Anxiety

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I dealt with this growing up. I've healed a lot but I still have some resentment and low self-esteem that I think could stem from it.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      It would have been better if I had a better therapist and had been ready to deal with the abuse.
      Art Working / Worked
      Art has always been a way for me to work through stress.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      This was a major way for me to heal.
      Music Working / Worked
      Listening to music helps to calm me down.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Talking Working / Worked
