    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Hi I'm Em, this is a bit about me: I was abused throughout my childhood. No support from my family. Diagnosed with depression in '05. In psych hosp for awhile cos I was suicidal, treated terribly there. I have PTSD and anxiety, finding it hard to survive, death seems the only way out and I dont' have the support I need to get through the struggle to stay safe.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Don't feel its worked at all so far. Its so draining, bringing up stuff that happened in the past and I'm exhausted as it is.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      It sort of helps, but not every time. Often writing stuff down is good, just so its out of my head.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      xxEmxx hasn’t entered any details for this support group.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      i suffer from ptsd, anxiety and have struggled with depresion in the past. trying to come to terms with abuse and struggling to survive this so called life.

      Treatments

      BuSpar Considering
      It doesn't seem to have helped at all, but I'm scared maybe it has a bit and i'd be worse if i stopped it.
      Effexor Not Working
      i no longer take this. had side effects of feeling sick, couldn't control my temp, got sweaty all the time whereas normally i wouldn't. also had dry mouth.
      Meditation Considering
      I try breathing techniques and meditation. but they're no good when i'm having a panic attack. it doesn't provide relief.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      It takes a lot out of me, but it hasn't helped. cant' afford to keep going. too much strain emotionally and financially.
      Seroquel Not Working
      I no longer take this. the doc thought this was responsible for my dizziness and tachycardia.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I try and go for walks to get out some of the anxiety. but its hard cos i get really sore joints which means often i cant go for those walks. i know the fresh air feels good and i feel good for getting the exercise doing something positive for my body.
