    • Close Codependency

      I am almost finished reading a book called "Women Who Love Too Much" and I am finding I can relate to a lot of what the book is saying. I found this site looking for some kind of support grp thinking maybe if I had some help I could start making more appropriate decisions about my life based on what I want. My husband and I are separated but it just happened and we are still talking and up to a week ago still seeing each other. Our relationship is most certainly unhealthy but I still love him.

    • Close Anxiety

      I was diagnosed with anxiety problems about a year ago. I had been previously been diagnosed as bipolar but when they put me on medication, it made me suicidal. I've had episodes of depression all my life along with low self-esteem but a few years after I got married I became so depressed that I could no longer work or even function.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      This helps when I have serious anxiety attacks but I do not take this medication every day.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      I am taking this now, but I do not like the weight gain side effects.
      Valium Not Working
      This drug made me feel even more depressed so I was switched to Ativan.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Taking now and it appears to be helping with my depression but Im not sure whether it helps my anxiety.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've had depression on and off all my life. A few years ago it became so bad that I could not function at all. My family & friends eventually gave up on me which was what I wanted. I tried to commit suicide a few times. I've only started to come around the last few months and now I want to help myself and fix the damage I've done. I've made many horrible decisions and want to learn to make better ones.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Working now while also taking Trazadone.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Helps when I am not in a deep depression and when my husband isn't lying, stealing, degrading, or disrespecting me. But hopefully it will start working better now that I am trying to distant myself from him until I work on my problems and become a stronger, happier person.
      Psychotherapy Considering
      I've tried counseling but it never got me anywhere. I would like to try it again now that I just got health insurance.
      Seroquel Not Working
      Took for two years but never realized it was doing so much damage. Tried to kill myself while taking this drug, when I came off the drug I started feeling better and then a doctor asked my to try it again and I was back in bed depressed within 2 days which is when I realized that this drug had been causing a lot of my problems.
      Support from Friends & Family Too Soon to Tell
      For a long time it made no difference in getting better but actually caused more damage many times. Trying to revive relationships with family now.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Taking with Cymbalta currently
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Tried it but it never did anything to help or hender.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Keeping a journal has helped and I've done it off and on for some time. I want to go deeper this time and write out my entire history, everything I can remember to maybe make some since of my life.
