Hi there - it was recommended to me to come here by a member of an online support group, when I asked for information regarding CBT.
So here I am!
My diagnoses / ailments include (but are not limited to... ha ha ha)...
*Clinical Major Depression (Treatment Resistant)
*Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
*Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
*Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
*Anxiety
*Panic Attacks
*Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling) (eyebrows / eyelashes)
*Social Phobia with elements of Agoraphobia
*Eating disorder emerging (eating to relieve emotional pain / overeating until I feel sick / NO purging, absolute obsession regarding food / weight)
*Body Dysmorphic Disorder
*Codependency
*Chronic Insomnia
*Possible Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (related to sleep apnea? LOUD SNORING, RESTLESS SLEEP)
*Possible Restless Legs Syndrome or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder
*TMJ (and SEVERAL other jaw issues) BRUXISM
*Low self-esteem and some self-hatred
*Previous Post-Partum Depression
*Previous Self-Injury (cutting)
I completed Session 1 this evening and am trying to maintain some hope that after all the years and therapies and 17 different medications that I have been on - maybe, as of tonight, I am finally on the right path.
