Netsirksmada Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, my name is Kristen, I'm 22 and from the Seattle Area. I stumbled upon this place when I was looking up information on the new meds I was prescriped today. I have been diagnoised with Anxiety disorder, depression, ptsd, and adult ADD. Alot of the anxiety and ptsd stems from abuse in my childhood where as the depression comes from a few things, one of them being my thyroid disease. I JUST started treatment for all of this great stuff in May 2010. I had been on varying doses of Prozac and Ativan, but today my new psych added Wellbutrin and Clonazepam in to help with my ADD and Anxiety. Growing up my family was not supportive about pscyhiatric help, in fact it was frowned upon. Fortunately now I have a very supportive husband and some loving animals. Another thing of luck is that my boss has some mental health issues himself, so he totally understands how to talk to me without sending me into a frenzy.

Also, be sure to read the user agreement because we aren't the huggy-huggy kind of website that you find out there. We also have blogs and chat, two great ways to connect with other members. Your avatar photo is very pretty, but you might want to consider whether you want your photo (and your hubby's) all over the internet. Once you put it up, it can be reproduced by anyone. I have my photo up from time to time, but I don't care about being anonymous. I hope you enjoy being a member here! olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
