    • Close Essential Tremor

      I first noticed my tremor after a PE lesson when i was 12. My PE teacher gave me some chocolate which appeared to solve the problem. Over the next few months the tremor became more frequent and noticeable. 18 months after i first visited the dcotors i was diagnosed with a static and kinetic Benign Essential Tremor. The tremor has gradually worsened and is now quite diabling. Most days i can't write and have difficulty dressing myself. Drinking is also quite awkward so i tend to use a straw!

    • Close Panic Attacks

      Diagnosed with a panic disorder last year when undergoign tests for various illnesses and when i was in and out of hospital for a long period of time. Also at the time, i was going through some psychological difficulties. To this day i have refused medication as i would rather combat the disorder naturally, i have been supported 100% by a few of my teachers and i have come a long way already. I'm not cured yet but fingers crossed i'm on the road to recovery!

    • Open Depression - Teen

      I could write all day and all night but the bottom line is your diabled and severely ill, suffer from panic disorders and social phobias, you are practically mother to your two year old niece and two aunties, grandad, and a handful of friends have all died of natural causes and 4 years ago ur close mate was brutally murdered and then in the space of three months another two mates are murdered in a similar way you begin to think there's only one way to go...

      Treatments

      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Writing can help, but after a while you come to realise that all you are doing is going over the same thing in your head.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      A close family member abused me for five years of my childhood. There is only a year age gap but she made my life a living hell and I still wake up to her face and her poor daughter every single day. I can't put into words how utterly betrayed, defenceless and lonely I feel. Because at the end of the day, in this big bad world, you can't even trust those closest to you; you are and always will be alone.

    • Open Psoriasis

      Had psoriasis since i was twelve, realy annoying but in comparison to other things it's a bit easier to deal with!

      Treatments

      Coal Tar Not Working
      Used it for a few months, did nothing for my hair, made me smell and just made my psoriasis more flakey and noticeable.
      Fucidin Somewhat Helpful
      Quite soothing, helped a little bit on the very little patches but if it was bad then it didn't have any affect on it whatsoever.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      "Whatever doesn't kill me will make me stronger." "Everything hapens for a reason." Two things that my teacher has been going on about for the past five years, but there's always exceptions to the rule. Somebody in my family made my life a living hell, yet everyday i looked up to them. I didn't know it was wrong, she abused my trust and i will NEVER forgive her. But nobody knows.

    • Open Phobia

      I have an irrational fear of hospitals, needles, dentists and doctors, to the extent that at my last blood test i had to be restrained by four nurses a doctor and my mum. I also suffer from Claustraphobia and i fear trusting people and i fear being betrayed, my doc did give a name for it but it had far too many syllables for me to remember what it was.

    • Open Bereavement

      I lost my auntie a few years ago but can't forgive myself for not saying goodbye, it's bit complicated. A good friend of mine was murdered three years ago, i haven't really grieved for him yet because i can't accept it, again teh circumstances were difficult. In May 2005 i lost another friend to cancer, amd in march someone who was near enough family passed away.

    • Open Bereavement - Teens

      It started with my Auntie when I was seven. Since then I lost another auntie to cancer, a close friend to cancer, another friend died during an epileptic fit in her sleep, someone i worked with commited suicide, my grandad died, one of my close friends was stabbed to death three years ago and another friend was murdered august 2008. I am almost numb ot the pain.

    • Open Families of Prisoners

      My foster brother went into prison a few years ago we spoke on the phone now and again but my parents had nothing to do with him when he came out. He was sentenced to 10 years in March. Ten years, we were so close and he sent me a letter when he went in and i can't even open it...
