    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      My mom used to tell me when I was a kid that she swore I was bipolar and adhd. Several years later, she turned out to be right. I would say my depression truly came out during my separation, then all hell broke loose.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My mother used to tell me as a child that I was bi-polar, but wasn't until several years later that I was diagnosed. Nobody else in my family has it except for a long deceased great-aunt of mine, but hers was undiagnosed because it wasn't well known during her lifetime.

    • Open ADHD / ADD

      My mother told me as a kid that she swore I had ADHD but wasn't diagnosed until many years later. I struggled throughout school due to not be diagnosed and even continue to struggle some today.

    • Open Self-Injury

      I started off as a kid, seldomly doing acts such as making smileys w/my lighter and then stopped for many years but then started cutting w/razor blades when my marriage was falling apart.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes talking to somebody will keep me too busy to do it or will tire me out before I get a chance to or they make me feel better about the situation.
    • Open Alcoholism

      I started drinking at the age of 14 years, taking it to school and getting drunk and high during school hours. I guess I am pretty much and alcoholic and drug addict. I have no willpower and will do anything I have a chance to get.

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Not Working
      I had a hard time getting past the 2nd step(?). I have a hard time choosing a higher power, being that I am not spiritual.
      AA Meetings Not Working
      Too boring and pressed the "Higher Power", religious aspects and I am not religious.
      Cold Turkey Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for awhile, but went right back to it.
      Sleep Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes when I start needing to drink, I'll go to sleep instead and wake up in a better place.
