Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been depressed on and off for, I think, most of my teenage years and now on...it's like my body doesn't know how to NOT be depressed anymore, according to my therapist. I finally started getting therapy a couple months ago...although I'm not in it right now.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It was working, but then I somehow ended up NOT in therapy, so I don't know anymore. =/
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- It depends on the friend, though...but yes, it works.
- Writing Working / Worked
- It helps me get my emotions out.
Close Self-Injury
I've been officially "cutting" since I was 14, but I've been self-injuring more since I was 8 or 9...I just didn't think of it as SI.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Considering
- I told my therapist about it, and she was helping, i.e. didn't think I was psycho, but...I'm not in it anymore, so...
- Red Marker Somewhat Helpful
- It depends on my emotions at the time as to whether or not it works.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Depending, it can help me not do anything.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I've been physically and emotionally abused by my entire family since about age 8. >.>
Treatments
Open Migraine Headaches
I've had headaches all day every day since I was 12...but I also get migraine headaches. And those REALLY suck because I end up virtually flat on my back with them.
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- if I take it early enough it works on the headache at least...not the nausea or everything else.
Open Shyness
I've been shy my whole life. It's getting a little better, but I'm still really shy, and I don't like being around people 'cause I can never speak up loud enough and make myself understood.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I'm not sure how well it was helping, but it wasn't TOO bad...it was helping more with the "social anxiety" side than the "shyness."
- Singing Working / Worked
- I'm in Sweet Adelines...so yeah, it's helped so that I can at least be more social kinds of things around THEM, but...
