Elsa Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hello, I've been browsing this site for a few months now and I thought it was about time I made an account... I'm Elsa, 21 and 1/2 years old. was diagnosed with EDNOS at 17, I also have OCD and insomnia which comes in bouts, I either sleep too much or I can't sleep at all. I have anxiety too, but I've always had it, suppose I just have an anxious personality that's really sensitive to ongoing stress. I started having panic attacks during my GCSE's, they seemed to ease off after a year or two but now I get them regularly. I suffered from depression for over a year, but thankfully I'm feeling okay in that respect. Not on any medication currently, I take herbal remedies for my anxiety, which work as well as anything I've been prescribed. I just get paranoid about chemicals and all these names I don't understand. I think I'm afraid of prescription medication? If that makes sense. Anyway, nice to meet you all :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olga Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi, Elsa. Welcome to Crazyboards. I ask all new members to read the rules, but if you did that when you signed up, you are all set! As you cruise around the forums, you will see a lot of discussions about meds. We are a pro-therapy, pro-medication place, just so you understand that. If your natural remedies are working for you, that's great. You may find some of our members to be a little skeptical, but you should do whatever seems to work for you. I hope you will check out the blogs and the chat room. Don't be afraid to ask questions! olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hi! Welcome to CB. If you post in the ED forum, please refrain from using numbers for weight, calories, BMI and so on. Just a friendly reminder. But I hope you can find some support and relief here. We joke around, we have fun, but we're also serious. We're not your regular support site, we don't walk on eggshells. Chat is ALWAYS open, you'll find me there a lot. We're a fairly welcoming community, and encourage posting and blogs. So sit back, grab a chair (I've taken over the ball pit) and join the ride.

Elsa Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thank you! I read the rules when I signed up, and had a huge giggle about the nipple clamps! I don't have an issue with meds and I have been on them before so I know they do work, I just don't feel they're right for me. I don't particularly like to mention the herbal remedies because I know a lot of people are skeptical but I thought I'd mention it here anyway. :-) Thanks again guys! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
