    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Sometimes you just have to do what it takes to feel better physically and mentally.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Tried was great for nerve pain but made me too lethargic.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Tried but didn't touch anything.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Find your passions and inspirations.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      More energy and better focus on goals and exercising.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It does help but I think that good friends who are supportive and positive cost less per hour. The real work is yours anyway.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      I need to sleep sometime!
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Still is working.
      Writing Working / Worked

    • Close Lesbian Relationship Challenges

      Finding a partner who is out and okay about who she is, but also mature, kind and intelligent. I get a little of what I want but find something missing. Decided to work on the Goddess in myself. It has been two and half years and I am single again, what a strange but liberating feeling!

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I have been in an on again off again relationship for about a year and a half. Finally had to be honest about a few things. Since I have done that I have moved away from my old habits of being engaged and now I seem to be able to see our relationship from afar. I have remained friends with her but I have also made new friends and put more space between us. You know when your reach the dividing point because something inside you takes another look at things and you can't go back anymore.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      Probably the most honest answers I have heard and that was in the beginning of the whole process.
      Patience Working / Worked
      I am still here and talking to her after all this time not much has really changed. So I have learned to accept where she is at.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Didn't help much but tried.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Seems to be where I found my answers and had to move towards those conclusions.
