Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

I was raped almost 2 years ago and suffered over 20 years of physical, verbal and psychological abuse at the hands of my father.

Treatments

Ativan Too Soon to Tell

We'll see. Still can't sleep very well.

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

So far it's helping.

Open Hypothyroidism

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost 5 years ago, right after my daughter was born.

Treatments

Synthroid Working / Worked

So far it is working but my doctor has to up my dosage every so often.

Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

I'm trying to quit smoking, for my health and for my daughter, but it is sooooo hard.

Treatments

Chantix Too Soon to Tell

I think it's working. Not sure.

Cold Turkey Not Working

I didn't do too well trying to quit this way.

Nicotine Gum Not Working

It worked at first, but then stopped.

Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful

It worked at first, then stopped, but I think it was my fault...I didn't quit when I was supposed to.

Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Parent

I lost my mother to lung cancer a year and a half ago and recently I learned that one of my good friends died in a car accident on my birthday. And I had to put my wonderful cat down a month after he turned 14, so I'm not coping very well.

Treatments

Crying Somewhat Helpful

I cry off and on.

Pets Too Soon to Tell

Have got a dog and a new kitten.

Open Rape

I was raped/sexually assaulted 2 years ago this month. I'm having a hard time dealing with it. I need help.

Treatments

Ativan Too Soon to Tell

It's for my PTSD too, so we'll see if it helps.

Open Sexual Abuse

I was raped/sexually assaulted 2 years ago by a man who I'd never met before. He basically kidnapped me from outside a bar (I was so drunk I could barely walk)and took me back to his hotel room. I blacked out during most of it, but what I do remember makes my skin crawl and makes me want to vomit.

Treatments

Talking Somewhat Helpful

It's still hard to talk about what happened, but I'm hoping it will get easier to talk about and then it will help more.

Open Anxiety

Not to much to tell. I have an anxiety disorder that hasn't been diagnosed yet. I don't feel comfortable most of the time leaving the house.

Treatments

Ativan Somewhat Helpful

It's mainly to help me sleep, but it helps a little bit.

Zoloft Too Soon to Tell

Prescribed for my depression, but hoping it will work for the anxiety as well.

Open Pet Bereavement

I had to put my beloved cat of 14 years down almost 2 years ago. I still cry alot and miss him very much.
