    • Close Alcoholism

      Binge drink from time to time.Background of family and friends being alcoholics of all kinds.Im bit better with the bingeing now,but at times it rears its ugly lonely head.Im still dealing with the coping of lonliness,as this is the reason I will go out. So I am around people.Seriously. Its getting better now though.Much better.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Somewhat Helpful
      Been twice. Room was cold,i did let it out,but it wasnt quite as supportive as I needed at the time.
      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      Holyoake.Was extremely helpful. For Women AND men going through it and for families, try this. Its in Perth.
      Willpower Somewhat Helpful
      Does work. Feelings can cloud this will though.Mind set is VERY powerful. Dont underestimate it.
    • Close Self-Injury

      I used to do this when I was in highschool. Every time I had someone leave me,being my dad when my parents divorced,to when my friends would move away. I did this razor slicing starting from 13 till about 24. Still have initials on my left upper arm(so no one would see it)of the ex boyfriends that left me. A cross in my chest and wrist marks.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Never really talked about it. It resolved itself. I understand why it happened.
    • Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

      Ive had Carpal Tunnel for about 11 years. Im 31. I got it from over exerting my self with hard physical work.I love physical qwork but cant do it so much anymore.Ive had nights of sheer agony waking up crying and flicking my arms around for abit of refief. Ive found pressure points to relieve the pain now. Im in a slower job now so i dont suffer too badly.

    • Open Depression

      Ive suffered from it for years.Since my teens.Its better now but ive had real bad bouts

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Have to pull myself up from time to time,takes a great deal of self awareness to do this. Ill assess how i dealt with a situation and work out how i could have dealt with it positively.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Always goes down well
      Writing Working / Worked
      Good way of venting out when no ones there.DOES work
    • Open Eating Disorders

      Writing has seriously kept me sane in my extreme lonely times. If I didnt do that some nights when im feeling manic and virtually tearing up my bed from frustration,about an issue that I just cant vent with to anyone about,ill get a pen and write!Just blurt it out full.It really has helped me!It does take time to get used to it and after,you can throw iot out too. Because its a way of releasing those frustrations,and letting go. So many poems Ive written,it helps to invigorate the vocabulary.
