Bio
Mother of two. I have agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and panic disorder. In short, I'm pretty messed up. I keep to myself mostly, but enjoy one on one talks with people about meaningful issues. I'm here looking for support until I can get back into therapy. My family and music is my life. I am a Christian.

...See more Does it really help with pain? I was in a car accident 4 years ago and I've been on painkillers and muscle relaxers and all that crap ever since. I'd realy like to get off prescriptions and do something natural but still legal. I found a store here that sells them. I just want to know if anyone has any experience with them.

...See more So I've been taking medication for my anxiety/depression and I recently stopped. Hubby was getting mad because I literally could not concentrate or think or hold a conversation with him. In short, I got stupid. He looked up all my meds and the one common side effect they all had was the lack of ability to concentrate. So I stopped two of them. And my dr is just the family dr but now he wants me to go see a psychiatrist. I just want to stay off all the meds and be myself again. The woman he fell in love with. I was in therapy, but had to stop because I couldn't afford it during the holiday season (our business slows WAY down during holidays). So I'm just at a loss. IDK whether to listen to my dr or just try to get back in with my therapist and overcome the anxiety and depression. Anyone had any experiences with a psychiatrist that they would be willing to share with me to help me decide what to do?

...See more What is the difference between abuse and molestation? I was in therapy and in one of my journals admitted to being "hurt". Because I don't know what to call it.

...See more I feel useless. I hurt myself last night and can hardly walk. There's so much to do and I can't do it and it's overwhelming me.

...See more Wine is my vice. I can't have just one glass. I *have* to drink the whole bottle at one time. I was discussing it with my therapist, but had to stop going over the holidays due to lack of finances. He actually helped me stop for a while, but then cold weather came and I have a back injury and my meds weren't working as well in the cold. So yeah. I have kids, and I won't drink until they go to sleep, but there's always an empty bottle in the trash when they wake up. They're getting old enough to ask questions so IDK what to do.
