Close Self-Injury
I HAVE BEEN SELFHARMING FOR 14 YEARS AND CUTTING MYSELF FOR 11 YEARS,I HAVE HAD MANY DIFFERENT ADDICTIONS BUT SELFHARMING IS THE ONE I CAN NOT GIVE UP.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depressioni have been given a few diagnosis but my main issue is depression.suffered with it all my life,selfharmed because of it for the past 15 years,been in therepy for years,and so far no one has been able to make life easier.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- i attend a mental health day hospital,it helps as it is a safe place for me to be
- Prozac Working / Worked
- sometimes it has been helpful but over all itdoes not solve anything.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- i have psychotherapy on a one to one and also in group settings.been doing this for the past 3 years
- Valium Working / Worked
- when i feel like i just can't cope anymore i take a dose of valium and knock myself out,it is the only way i can cope.
Open Bipolar Disorder
a couple of years ago i was given the diagnosis bipolar,but they still are not certain if i am or not!,because i do not get the extreme high periods,but i do get servere depression with slight highs(occasionally)
Treatments
- Lithium Not Working
- the psychiatrist did not give me long enough on it as i overdosed on it.
Open Prescription Drug Abuse
been on prescribed drugs,everything from anti psychotics,diazapine to sleeping tablets.got hooked and went through hell trying to get off them,my doctor will no longer prescribe meds to me anymore as i abuse them so i have to buy them,trying to remain in control and not overdose
Open Alcoholism
been drinking since i was 7 years old,became a true alcoholic when i was 22 years old,went through detox and failed!,i gave up drinking 18 months ago and only stopped as it nearly killed me!been tempted to fall off the wagon a few times since then and i remain in control of my drinking,but there is still not a day where i do not think about hitting the bottle again.
Treatments
- AA Meetings Not Working
- did not find helpful
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- hard work,got me put in a psychiatric ward,not a good way to stop
- Detox Somewhat Helpful
- helped slightly,not the answer
- Librium Somewhat Helpful
- great when i was on it but when they reduced the amount i couldn't stop myself drinking
- Willpower Working / Worked
- i had to believe that i wanted to stop
Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)i was first diagnosed with bi pola and then they told me i had BPD,i then got told i had features of both,so now i am really confused!
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- been using talking therapy with my psychologist for the past few years,we have had our ups and downs but overall it does help.
