Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 02:21 PMI would like to go see a therapist but money is so darn tight right now. My health insurance went up in October and right now until I meet the deductible everything is out of pocket. I am hoping once I get my diabetes under control and then my thyroid and see my gynocologist about going through the change that things brighten up as far as the depression goes.
Thanks for chatting Judy

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 04:27 PMHi again! Sometimes you can find a therapist in a clinic that has a sliding fee scale, meaning you pay based on your income; usually at least one resource would be a county mental health clinic. Just a suggestion, I know it's helped me a lot.

You can always come here...

I hear you. Lonliness is hard to deal with. What would cure it for you do you think? Are you up for meeting new people? There is a site called Meet Up.com where you plug in your zipcode and they give you a list of groups in your area. People meet up for any number of reasons...to have coffee or see movies or as a support group. You could even start a group. I find that I seldom have time for such a thing but for awhile there was going to a group for socially anxious introverts. There is a group for everyone!
And you can always come here to find support...not the same as a live group but this is convenient...you never have to leave home.
Keep writing...always love to hear from you.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 07:45 AMThank you Merelyme,
The phase I am going through right now is I can't stand to stay home. My husband on the other hand doesn't like to go out. Introvert vs. Extrovert. I just get jealous of people with busy lives and lots of friends, because I want it all and I don't have that.
Today is not a good day. My husband had to call 911 this morning because my blood sugar was real low and he could not wake me up. I just feel sometimes that this world would be better off without me and all the problems I cause. I am not suicidal but that is just how I feel.
Next week I meet with the insulin pump people to try and get that under control and then the next day I meet with the endochronologist to see about my thryroid and how my blood test turned out.
That meet up.com sounds good though. I was involved in a diabetic support group but the hospital discontinued it. To tell you the truth I have never been under good control with my diabetes and I have had it for 34 years now. I have been given a second chance at life with my new husband who wants to help me with my diabetes, but I don't want to blow this chance.
I sorry I am rambling. Got to get to work. Thanks for listening

Hi, Maceymom - I remember getting bored and lonely a lot when I worked and afraid everyone would think I was even weirder than they already thought I was if I talked about depression. I think I understand that feeling of knowing you have been blessed, not feeling like it and then feeling guilty for THAT. Have you thought about seeing a therapist? You haven't mentioned it, but it would be a good outlet, to talk in a safe place and get objective feedback. You don't have to "white knuckle" it.
I'm also going through a period right now where my meds aren't quite working well enough, yet I don't want to keep adding or trying other ones. But I know I'd be a lot worse if I wasn't taking them at all.
Hope you soon feel better and can find someone to talk to in person.
