    • Hug

      From siguy47 July 28

      thank you for thanking me.. I mean it.. I have a mission on this board .. I want to really help someone preferably a child.. which you are in my eyes.. I don't care much about the abused and the abusers.. I care about the children that have to live with this crap.. sorry if I sound angry,.. but I am.. I'm that child that is listening to these women day after day trying to make themselves feel better about allowing their children to observe their abuse.. again.. really sorry for dumping on you.. you are doing great.. I'm glad you woke up and saw what you were doing.. good luck honey.. btw, the stuff you're doing is really interesting.. you have a good life ahead of you :)

      I found out I was pregnant on Mother's Day. this isn't my first child, but it's the first I hope to carry to term. I'm so excited I can barely stand it!!!

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed at 16.. nothing has helped rx-wise.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      didn't work
      Ativan Working / Worked
      wasn't prescribed this, but it sure helped with the manic rages better than any anti-psychotic. Caused depression occasionally.
      Depakote Not Working
      went to the maximum dose for my body weight and had to get bi-weekly blood tests to check on my liver. large price to pay for mild sedation.
      Geodon Not Working
      made me so sleepy i passed out standing up.
      Group Therapy Not Working
      depressing, and infuriating.
      Lamictal Not Working
      made me have crazy ass dreams
      Remeron Working / Worked
      crazy drug made me super paranoid.
      Risperdal Not Working
      like a glass of water... nothing
      Seroquel Not Working
      made me manic, homicidal, and even more insane.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      made me manic as fuck
      Zyprexa Not Working
      wasn't on this drug too long, and i can't remember why i stopped it... i've taken WAY too many phsyc meds.
    • Open Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I've been pulling since before I can remember. In fifth grade I shaved my head to try to remedy the problem, but it only delayed it. Now I have a growing bald spot in the usual area. It never stops.

    • Open Miscarriage

      I've had two miscarriages, both during the first trimester, because of negative RH factor, and one ectopic pregnancy that left me with one fallopian tube. The pain is finally healing with the news of my newest baby coming! The other's were never meant to be.

    • Open Codependency

      I've been codependent since before I can remember, for my alcoholic mother. My last boyfriend was an abusive drug addict, and beat me routinely, still I stayed with him, it wasn't until he stabbed me a couple times I had the courage to leave.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My last boyfriend used to routinely beat me every night, and finally stabbed me five times, once in the arm, once in the leg, and three times in my right knee. It was the only thing that allowed me to get out.

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
    • Open Meth Addiction & Recovery

      Started using meth when I was 15, as usual the beginning of my use was great, I became a scholastic, model citizen with a 4.0 gpa, then it quickly diminished, and I became a drop out with one credit to graduate and living on the streets. Quitting was realatively easy once I detatched from people still using.

      Treatments

      Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Not Working
      I hate feeling powerless. AA/NA/ other "anonymous" programs just don't do it for me.
    • Open Anxiety

      i've had anxiety issues since before i can remember, and severe agoraphobia for five years.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      Remeron Not Working
      Valium Working / Worked
      Xanax Not Working
