Close Anxiety
I've always been a little anxious, over time it got worse after I had been ill with Lyme disease. Today I struggle plenty with it as it effects not only me but all of my close relationships. I had really bad experiences with mental health professionals in the past but I'm giving it another shot, did a lot of research and cognative therapy on my own, and I'm still just kind of trying to deal with what problems anxiety brings day to day.
Treatments
- Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for a while, just a very heavy drug to be taking. Stopped after a few weeks on it a few years ago when I was taking it. Did lift my mood though from what I remember.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Used this for a good while a few years ago. A year ago I was on a drug called Celexa that works like Lexapro. That one was more mild than Lexapro, that had made me feel like a zombie while I was on it. At first was effective, but quickly just gave me that zombie feeling. Had tried different doses. Wasn't the drug for me.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Not the msot helpful for me because one of my huge problems is that I can't stay in the moment. And when I have gone through meditation with a mental health professional I tend to burst into tears thinking about things that make me happy, and yet I'm depressed etc. during those sessions, and I've tended to stray from it.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- It's always at least temporarally relieving, it's just staying positive without the negative feelings overpowering everything that is really hard to deal with.
- St. John\'s Wort Working / Worked
- Zoloft Not Working
- I had never been on anti depressants before Zoloft. I was on a minimal dose when I was still looking for a Lyme diagnosis, did nothing for me at all.
Close Bipolar Disorder
So I've had Lyme disease, and anxiety disorders and clinical depression for years. And now I'm being tested, because many of the symptoms add up to the conclusion I've been bipolar this entire time, and I have no idea what to think about it.
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- I was actually on this drug for a while, and then I began to get monsterousley depressed again and stopped it. I was on the drug for anxiety treatemnt, not bipolar. But I felt pretty good when I started on it.
- Group Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- Only online, and I'm not consistant with it because I don't trust people and it's hard for me.
- Holistic Health Working / Worked
- On a bunch of over the counter suppliments and detox, help keep me feeling alright, but still not the best.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- I'm only on 10mg, which I started on a few years ago, keeps me feeling better than I do without it though.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Was on this for a while as an anxiety/depression treatment. Worked for a little bit.
- Topamax Working / Worked
- I was on this drug to treat chronic daily headaches. This was years ago, when I was on it though I was feeling great. Was on the treatment for a couple years. After that Lyme symptoms came out all at once as I was coming off of the drug.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I remember being on this for a minimal amount of time. I doubt it worked because I
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI'm depressed. Been that way for a good while. That's about it ;)
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Was good while it lasted...
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Very difficult but benificial over time. Hard to keep up with because it's emotionally draining. I've researched the crap out of it though.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- It was helpful until it made me into a zombie.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Not that helpful for me.I get too emotional and have negative experiences when I do this, even with the guidence from a mental health professional.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Difficult but helpful.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Never had too much luck with the right professional...
- Seroquel Not Working
- Worked for a bit, wasn't on it too long.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- It's probably the nicest thing in the world to have, but it's also the most horrifying when it's difficult for them and I know about it. That makes me feel even worse.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Blah.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- It's somewhat theraputic, but also very difficult to do because I feel like I'm going to explode with emotions everywhere. Sometimes it just riles me up.
- Zoloft Not Working
- Nothing great happened.
Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
My very first health problem.
Treatments
- Acidophilus Working / Worked
- Great stuff.
- Probiotics Working / Worked
- Used to be on sacchromiases (sp>??) and it was effective.
- Psyllium Working / Worked
- I can't have less than 4 capsules a day.
Open Shyness
I can't really stand how shy I am. I know it's a big self confidence thing, but it really sucks because it even arises in my closest relationships from time to time.
Treatments
- DailyStrength Too Soon to Tell
- Too soon to tell.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Not always the most helpful, but trying again.
- Self-help Somewhat Helpful
- Books, research, cognitive therapy, all very hard.
- Socializing Working / Worked
- I'm very open with my partner, but even then I can be shy.
