    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I've always been a bit overweight, and have never been able to lose much weight. I can exercise and diet all I want... The weight just seems to never drop! It can get very frustrating, and caused me to be picked on a lot in school. I'm still battling the weight, and it's still not dropping... I'm not obese, but it would be nice just to be normal weight for once.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      The best thing I have ever done was gone about 80% vegetarian and drinking mostly water, and absolutely no carbonated drinks.
      Physical Exercise Not Working
      Has never worked for me. I once had a trainer and worked out for a good three months at a gym... Actually gained weight, and never got "toned." Chubby fat was still ruling my body...
      Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
      Something in Slim Fast makes you "go," so it seemed to work for initial weight loss, not much after.
    • Close Shyness

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      My dog, Boomer, is my world. I'll take him to run errands with me, or to just go do something like walk around the park. He's part of me, I get really down when I don't have him around, as in, when I go out of town, etc.
    • Open Anxiety

      The smallest situations can cause me just to freak out. When this happens during driving, I frequently have to pull of of the road and recompose myself. My mom suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, and depression runs in my family. I'm 18, my father doesn't believe in western medicine, and my parents don't want me on anything unless I truly need it.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      I just stop and breathe. Just close my eyes, breathe, and try to let it go...
      Meditation Working / Worked
      When I was at a "gifted" high school, I would go back to my dorm room and just meditate after my classes.
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      My thoughts just always go back to the bad.
