    • Close Insomnia

      I've been experiencing insomnia for 20+ years now, and is getting worse as I get older. Sometimes I think I'll end up like that guy in Vietnam who hasn't slept in years.

      Treatments

      Ambien Working / Worked
      Worked great for sleeping, but gave me terrible sleepwalking episodes (walking outside with car keys in hand, etc) Gives a strange, "trippy" effect (that I didn't mind because it helped me to get to sleep) Next-day hangover took hours to wear off.
      Counting Sheep Not Working
      This has never worked for me.
      Lavender Somewhat Helpful
      Helps me to relax, but not necessarily sleep.
      Lunesta Not Working
      Makes me feel paranoid and emotional the next day. Seems to exacerbate depression; I feel like a giant walking wound the next day.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Works if I can get myself into a good trance state.
      Melatonin Working / Worked
      Worked for 10 years then quit working for me.
      Music Not Working
      Any sort of noise keeps me awake.
      Reading Not Working
      Does NOT work, sorry.
      Sonata Considering
      My doctor tried to prescribe this, BUT the ding-bat insurance company said I had to try Ambien (terrible) and Lunesta (worse) first. Maybe I'll go sleep on their desks.
      Valerian Not Working
      Gives me horrible, realistic nightmares. I'd rather stay awake.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      The depression comes and goes, sometimes without warning. There can be massive triggers or no triggers, and boom, there it is. I might go for months without an episode and run right into one like a brick wall.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      Sometimes it works.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Sometimes it works.
      Zoloft Not Working
      UGH! I was so nervous and shaky after being on this for two weeks that I begged my doc to let me stop taking it.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      My story is the same as everyone else's: Thanks fo a family member I have ISSUES.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      This works great.
      Music Working / Worked
      This works when I'm feeling particularly low.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Letting others know what I went through helps--I was silent too long.
