Hugbook
Ray of Sunshine
Thinking of you, friend. I hope you're well. *hugs*
Hug
You are a busy girl!! I was gonna do toastmasters once. But now that I have this whole thing with the seizures/tics when I talk, I am not too keen on doing it. I hope you are well. Sorry about the wreck. I hate wrecks. They are my worst fear. When I see them, I break down and cry. Just not fun. I am glad to know that you weren't hurt too bad, and I hope that you get to feeling better soon. *Bear Hugs*

Hug
Yes invisaline are clear plastic trays that I can slip in and out . Very much like the old braces but not attached. Change every couple wks to a new set and they bring my teeth down a bit more into the right place. Great to see my son again. Chatted and caught up on some family stuff....hugs Celti

Support Groups
Close Anger Management
Partner has a lot of anger issues; I am coping with it. Need to learn from others, so I won't "engage" in these ridiculous arguments...
Close Families of Prisoners
Significant other was in jail 1980-1984.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
Open Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective DisorderI have a low-grade depression; I describe it as a reduced level of serotonin in my brain. I'm currently using SAM-e which seems to help. I just don't have the same follow through or motivation of people with a more "up" brain chemistry. I've been severely depressed a couple of times in my life
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Writing Considering
- SAM-e Working / Worked
- This dietary supplement seems to help and have no side effects; it is a naturally occurring chemical in the body; some of us just don't have enough.
- Laughter Working / Worked
- This is an excellent "medicine" for all mental health issues.
Open Financial Challenges
Currently in debt about 25K
Treatments
- Credit Counseling Not Working
- Debt Consolidation Somewhat Helpful
- I keep "robbing Peter to pay Paul"
- Earn Money Not Working
- Not enough coming in to cover the outgoing. But I'm quite frugal and generally pay all bills on time. I'm actually very good with money.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Living w/verbally abusive man for 8+ years. Losing my toleration. I deserve better. He's softening, but probably not enough!
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- Music Working / Worked
- Once in a while I've turned on the music to "tune him out", but haven't done this often.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking Working / Worked
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Excellent release
Open Brain Injury
My boyfriend seems to have TBI
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I was abused as a child by a male similar in age to me who forbade me to say anything--telling me he'd kill me if I told.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- I've done this from time to time. Would love to take an art class!!!
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- EMDR Working / Worked
- I left that therapist when I started going out with my current "beau" whom I knew was not a stellar person, so to speak. So I don't know how it would have worked.
- Music Working / Worked
- Always a great therapy in my book!!!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Zoloft Not Working
- I did not like it. Yuck. Too many side effects.
Open Healthy Relationships
I'm in a "not so healthy" relationship and could use some ideas/help.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- We only went once; the counselor pretty much s**ked.
- Patience Not Working
- I'm the only patient one, so this doesn't help much.
- Talking Not Working
- I don't really have anyone to talk to about this 'cause everyone says LET GO OF IT.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I write in my journal at home and find it therapeutic
