Just some thoughts- venting

By H8ingmylifesometimes Sunday, January 06, 2008
I have been living with depression for more than 20 years. I know it gets worse in the winter so I increase my doses until spring and it has worked so far...until this year. I am having such a hard time, I don't know what to do anymore. My doctor is away in Mexico and he is the only one I feel comfortable telling things to. I have gone through 5 jobs in the past 4 1/2 months, everytime I try to commit to something my anxiety level goes through the ceiling, I go back to feeling like a loser. I know something is wrong but the local hospital supposidly doesn't take our insurance for psych. I have been hospitalized once when I went through my divorce 7 years ago but have done well until mid last year. I dont know what to do anymore. I don't even know where to turn. I am not even sure I want to be a nurse anymore. I am just so tired...
A question for anyone who may know

Hang on for a little while. Your doc will be back soon.  Your anxiety can be sorted out and you will go back to being well again. Don't panic...just hold tight for a while. Anxiety can be crippling. I know. Just take one day at a time. Don't make any career decisions at the moment. Things will look completely different when you are feeling better. I don't know how old you are but it might be an idea to find out if something else ie thyroid or B 12 deficiency might be behind this resurgence. Maybe time for a thorough checkup. Thinking of you. It will get better. Rusty

rusty,

thanks for the info and encouraging words. Right now I feel so alone, like no one in my life really understands how I feel. I am going to stay talking with people here because even though they aren't me...I am sure they have felt similar. I will call my dr in the am.

thx

k
