    • Close Anxiety

      I have a family history of depression and anxiety. As a teen I suffered from anorexia. I was luckily able to overcome that in my twenties! However, it's been replaced by anxiety and some depression. I struggle daily with both. Often it's perpetuated by my line of work -- social work -- which is high energy often dealing with crisis, etc.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      eventually, did not seem to notice a difference
      Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
      I forget to do this. Helps for a bit and then the anxiety creeps back in.
      Inderal Somewhat Helpful
      Doesn't seem to have an effect.
      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Just started a couple of weeks ago. Waiting to see
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      I dont stick with it.

    • Close Healthy Relationships

      I've always been involved in rather co-dependant or enmeshed relationships.. starting as far back even as my best (female) friend in kindergarten! So, essentially, I'm used to being with a partner. In 2004 I divorced the partner I had been with for 8 years and married for 3. Now, I'm trying to figure out myself and what it means to be in a healthy relationship and negotiate dating without getting hurt.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      Was in couples counseling during divorce and with a boyfriend since then. Sort of helped
      Patience Working / Worked
      Breathing techniques help a lot.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Communication is good. But I feel like I tend to talk too much and get myself in trouble. I need to learn how to censor myself sometimes..
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing helps me with all my "issues." :)

    • Open Depression

      Depression runs in my family. I've had an eating disorder in the past and normally suffer from anxiety rather than depression. But at times feel hopeless.

      Treatments

      Used in the past
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      using now and unsure if it's working yet. Still have panic attacks on it.
