  • Support Groups

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Abuse is nothing new for me, as a child I was abused. Now I am married and abused by my husband, and we've only been married since March 2006. In my lifetime I've been through emotional, and physical abuse. None sexual. I'd like to stop the abuse that is currently happening in my life, but feel trapped for various reasons. I hope to find some support in the group, maybe answers, maybe even be of support if I can.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      I'm in a abusive relationship so it couldn't have been THAT helpful.Maybe I should have had someone more experinced in that field.It was good to have someone to talk to.
    • Close Anxiety

      I've had generalized disorder since I was 11. Panic attacks started at 13. I went to counseling as a teen,& found that most counselors seemed to not know how to treat it well,many did not know CBT which is soo helpful for treating anxiety. At age 18 FINALLY found two good meds, Busbar and Klonopin, it took me a year. I do still struggle w. anxiety daily, but things are so much better. Check out www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/audioseries.html, I know these tapes really helped me.

      Treatments

      BuSpar Working / Worked
      Taking since. For a long time I only took 10mg, because my IBS was so bad then, and it made it worse. Now IBS is better, and I take up to 20mg. Helps A LOT.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I take 1 and a half mgs. I found taking anymore would make me way too forgetful. This medicine helped soo much with my panic attacks and generalized anxiety disorder.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      All it did was make it so I was ALWAYS hungry. I gained at least 10 lbs in 2 months time and it didn't do anything for my anxiety.
      Effexor Not Working
      One of the worste meds I ever took!!! Made me itchy,as if I had a weird rash. Terrible mood swings. I can't remember everything since it was years ago, but it was BAD.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      It worked well when I had the right counselor who really knew how to help treat anxiety. Many do not know how to help. It's good to have one that can teach CBT.
    • Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      It seems almost funny signing up for this group, but PMS effects me really badly. I feel like I am really ill and not even myself when I get it. I hope to find answers and hope to get back to myself during these times.

    • Open Depression

      Yup, I have this too. My doctor said I get depression as a result of my anxiety. I've had it since I was a teen.
