Close Brain Injury
I had a basal skull fracture in late 2005. It was a subdural hematoma and caused TBI. It was relatively minor as those things go. Lost my sense of smell, some taste, short-term memory. Also tore some ligaments near my clavicle. Out of work for 2 months, 18 hours a day in bed. It's been a year and a half now and I still have no sense of smell. Wondering if it's gonna come back.
Open Families of Prisoners
My little brother is 24 years old and has been in and out of prison since he was 17. He's just gotten a DWI after being out on parole for 5 months. It's looking like he may win his court case though because there is no breathalyzer and no stumbling on the tape.
Open Healthy Sex
I'm 31 years old and have problems initiating relationships with women. I haven't had a girlfriend in in ten years. I mostly blame my depression but it's not just that. I'm told I'm good looking by women so I know that it must be my attitude. I want to learn to be more assertive.
Treatments
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
Open Shyness
I've always been shy but since I was 18 (31 now) it has increased dramatically. Depression has made general shyness into a monster
Open Alcoholism
yep, recovering alcoholic, 7 months sober
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Somewhat Helpful
- AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
- Willpower Working / Worked
Open Cocaine Addiction & Recovery
yep, snorted coke off and on for 10 years...smoked crack as well in the last few years....5 months sober now
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Smoked for 9 years, quit 2 1/2, now back for 2 1/2 years, trying to quit again
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- I only learned recently that wellbutrin is supposed to help. I was on it as an antidepressant when I quit smoking. I knew it was easier that time but didn't know why
Open Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: VegetarianI'm a wanna-be vegetarian. It is a goal of mine but something I don't want to jump into unprepared. Hope to meet some people here that have some advice for me.
