News of Addictions

Here is my life experience. I tried ALL methods to stop my food addiction but none worked.

I once went to my psychiatrist to cure my general depression, and she prescribed me "Seroxat", this medication finished my food addiction. Another medication which normalized my food appetite was "Zoloft". Both of them worked for me, but it is not guaranteed that they will work for everyone as is the case with all antidepressants. But never take ...

I will start by making an important observation: that I am regarded by mental health professionals as being "hyper-vigilant" - that means I am very alert and watchful all the time.

The problem is I am addicted to MacDonalds. It's not that the food is unhealthy in small amounts, but the quality of the sugar and the salt and the oil in their fishburgers and so forth, has permanently warped my mind. I think about ...

I post alot in the anti-psych forum,other forums and am a psychiatric abuse survivor.

Without getting into it, there is a ton of miss-information out there and scientific topix to debate.

I love intellegent science debate stuff and have a cause.

I spend to much time on this. I see it know it.

I am a gambling addict. I work so hard driving a truck and spend every extra penny on gambling. I have fought this addiction for 10+ years. I lost my wife and kids and realize this addiction just whipped the zest for life right out of me. I can't believe the amount of money this addiction has cost me. I don't drink or do drugs but o just can't seem to find any self worth ...

I'm freakin' out, man. :shock:

Ever since about 5 months ago, my whole life has been surrounded by the computer. All of my friends are on the computer. Everything I need to know is on the computer. And recently (actually, I diagnosed this quite a long time ago) I realized that, without the computer, I would probably be very depressed and lonely.

I understand that I spend ...

Two whole days w/ o that scrumptious delicious product, nor did I have my usual 4 pm twinkles. I have been battling food and sugar addiction for the last 10 years. And losing I might add. I've tried OA (which I hated),hypnosis, even that ridiculous thing Winona Judd tried - brain balancing or something, supplements, iridologists, and a few naturpaths. I have diabetes type 2, pcos, alopecia, adrenal fatigue, edema, arthritis, depression and probably some ...

What I like about the internet, is:

• It seems like my opinion counts
• it seems like I can say what I want
• It seems like I am influencing the whole world
• it's quick
• it's fast
• it's easy
• educating myself is considered socially understandable
• I have the time
• I am well fed
• It doesn't practically cost anything

However, somehow my thoughts get wrapped around it. My thoughts get wrapped around it, and I don't know why. For a moment, I think "I've said enough" then I ...

I've been relatively clean for years now. I say relatively because I am not into the whole 12 step thing and one slip-up every few years doesn't destroy my confidence in my ability to make wise choices overall. I have never felt that occasional use was all that bad. So I went from using drugs every day to using them roughly once every couple of years or so.

I've used everything. I had my weed ...

So, here's the deal. I am dealing with a long-term boyfriend who can't stay clean to save his life. I've done the whole intervention ordeal, threatened never speaking to him again, etc but no matter what- he can't seem to maintain his sobriety. I'm on facebook with a thing called the GRR (weird name I know) and they say that they specialize in 'long-term' treatment and have a minimum of 6 months but rec a ...

I'm only 20 and I spend like crazy. I try my best not to but I can't help it. I can't sit at home without feeling like I need to go shopping. The thing is I think the reason I am is because of my life at home. My mam is crazy at times..she can be nice then turn the next and be really awful to me. It makes me feel a lot better when ...
