Open Anxiety

Treatments

Lexapro Working / Worked

Atarax Working / Worked

This medicine helps controll the anxiety but it makes me so drowsy that it is hard to function.

Open Pet Bereavement

my cat died on february 13, 2008

Open Sexual Abuse

When I was 14 I was molested by my stepfather and ever since I have had problems with nightmares, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Treatments

Art Working / Worked

For a period my life was entirely about my art. If I wasnt painting or drawing I wasnt happy. Its like I could go to the fantasy world I painted and drew. It was my escape. Unfortunately now with work I no longer have time.

Leave Working / Worked

I moved away to live with another family member for a time and during that time I believe my mom realized that he was tearing her family apart and she also left him.

Music Working / Worked

Music has always been my medicine. I feel that without it I would shrivel up and die. I depend upon it entirely. I constantly have music playing. In the car, at work, at home, cleaning, in the shower, even when I sleep.

Talking Working / Worked

If it had not been for my friends I do not think I could have survived through the aftermath of the abuse.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

My stepdad, when he wasnt molesting me, was physically and mentally abusing both me and my brother. On my sweet 16, he dragged me from a car and nearly killed my brother by beating him to death when my brother tried to protect me.

Writing Working / Worked

I used to write poems to vent my emotions. All my pain and suffering seemed so much easier to deal with when it was in black and white on a paper.

Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

I have been very much over weight for about 5 years. I am very unhappy with my body. I have tried a few different ways of losing weight and they have not worked for me. I need to lose weight, if nothing else for my health. I am almost 21 and already having knee problems. I need help. I cannot do it alone.

Treatments

Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful

it probably would have worked if I would have had more of a variety of food available to me to eat instead of the same things every day.

Counting Calories Not Working

Eating Healthier Foods Somewhat Helpful

Eat Less Somewhat Helpful

Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful

would have worked if I would have had a partner to keep me going

Slim-Fast Working / Worked

worked until i quit the program, and since I have tried to get back on it but no success
