    • Close Anxiety

      Have had anxiety almost my entire life which has really affected my life in way to many directions resulting in depression at times.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
      Went to several sessions, was expensive and not really proven more than mind over matter as far as I am concerned.
      Breathwork Working / Worked
      Yes when i remember to do practice it, using this more and more.
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      Working on tapering this one down too.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      I will give this another try it does work but its really boring as hll.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Has had a tremndous impact on my life and outlook.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Nothing is perfect, i need to do some of the work myself rather than be at the mercy of a pill.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Have been depressed on and off for years and years, but taking control of this situation and finding ways to do it without medicine.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Its hard but I need to try harder to reach for the best thought I can find.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Did therapy for five years, big changes but life still has newer challenges all the time.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Sometimes talking with someone about something else not even related to the problem is a relief.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      Worked the first time.
      Vyvanse Working / Worked
      The "improved" version of Adderall XR- does seem much smoother.
