Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with Bipolar several years ago, but have been suffering from depression for almost 14 years. I was misdiagnosed for about 12 years. I have tried numerous treatments and have been hospitalized several times. My doctor just completed my first series of ECT.
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- Abilify did nothing for me. If anything I think I felt worse.
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- Depakote was somewhat helpful, but I gained about 45 pounds in about 2 1/2 months. As you can imagine the weight gain made me feel horrible.
- Geodon Not Working
- Geodon didn't do anything for me. Also I had facial tremors as a result of this medication.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- I experienced group therapy during my numerous hospital stays. It helped for the most part because I was able to see that I wasn't alone.
- Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
- Lamictal seemed to help me, but I began having seizures (not related to the medication) and my doctors decided to take me off of the medication.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- This is an old anti-depressant drug which has some side effects, but it has helped me to remain somewhat stable.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- This is a great med for anxiety and panic attacks. It helps me to calm down quickly.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- This is probably the best thing for me. It helps to have a person (outside of friends and family) to talk to about you problems.
- Electroconvulsive therapy Too Soon to Tell
- I just finished a series of 7 treatments. I feel a little bit of lifting in the depression, but my anxiety is high since I have been unable to take my anti-anxiety meds.
Close Self-Injury
This currently isn't a major issue in my life, but I have a LONG history of cutting and burning myself. Not the smartest thing in the world to be doing, but unfortunately that is part of my illness.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- This can be a continuous battle, but my therapist is very good at helping me find positive things to take up my time instead of hurting myself.
- Hospitalization Working / Worked
- This has been the best STOP for me because it put me in a controlled environment.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've lived with it for 14 years. Some days are good and others, well I don't want to see anyone.
Treatments
Open Hysterectomy
I had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 25. It was just 6 months after I got married. As a result, we will never have children. This is a very sore subject with me.
Open Painful Intercourse
This has been a major issue for me since I had my hysterectomy. I feel awful because my husband and I are both in our 20's.
Open Panic Attacks
I have panic attacks frequently. I am trying to find other ways of working through my anxiety and stress.
Open Personality Disorders
I have been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. I display some of the symptoms of OCD and BPD, but not to a great enough magnitude for a full diagnosis.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
History of sexual abuse and rape.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- EMDR Working / Worked
- Rape Counseling Working / Worked
- Supportive Care Working / Worked
