help i feel so alone with this

Sweetheart,

Please call your doctor tomorrow and tell him about this.

Your anxiety & fears are so very understandable considereing your family situatio, but you MUST do this for the sake of your husband & especially your child. I know you must feel like you're working without a net, but you aren't.

Help them to help you

Hi.  You are doing the right thing by reaching out here.  My heart goes out to you and I will pray for you.  You must not allow this to go untreated.  Are you taking medication and are you in counseling?  You need a lot of support right now and your deserve to be happy.   What is a nervous breakdown?  I've often wondered what this is.  I have been extremely depressed with suicidal thoughts and excessive crying.  Whatever it is it is your SOULs way of saying I need help.  Please get that help for yourself so that you can be there for your family - they need you.  Also, burning yourself with ciggerettes is self harm.  It is an outward manifestation of the pain you feel inside.  That pain needs to come out and you need a safe environment to let it out.  Perhaps a group of supportive individuals.  I go to a recovery group at my church for Depression and Anxiety and 2 of the members there have done similar things to themselves.  Nobody judges you, they just care and that's what you need right now.  Don't wait.  Call your doctor tomorrow and make an appointment with a psychologist.  I hope that you feel better. 

I've seen the doctor several times.  He put me with a psychiatrist that sent me to group therapy.  Group didnt work out because all i did was absorb all of their problems worry about them and not talk about mine.  I see a new pyschiatrist on the 15th and am requesting some one on one thereapy.  They have me on cymbalta and ativan and zyprexa so i'll sleep at nite.  I'm trying to get help I really am but it just seems like everyone tells me that its grief and I just need to get on with my life.  I feel like most of my friends and family just dont understand.   My husband is being great.  He's been so understanding and has taken on a lot of the stuff I normally do.  I just feel like nothing is helping right now.  Maybe the new psychiatrist will help.   Thanks for all the posts --- its nice to know people understnad.

 Hi. Wow, I am in the same place as you are right this very minute.

I have a terminally ill father living with me and my sister is living with us to help

out too.

My Dad has been getting worse over the past few weeks. I have been diagnosed with

Panic Disorder/Depression. Mind you, I had Panic Disorder years ago... and just delt with basically

anxiety until until now... Now, I have MAJOR Panic Attacks and now Depression. My Mom took

time off of work and came up to help out. I feel like I am falling apart and feel so alone. I have

never felt like this before and it is really hard feeling like this all the time. I find myself counting

down the weeks of me feeling this way.

 I have a husband and a son to take care of and I am finding it so hard to do all of the simple

things.

 I have been to the Dr. numerous time over these past 5 weeks and they all say to see a

therapist... which i'm doing. I tried Zoloft for 4 days and had a reaction to it... I really feel

like I want to try something else like Lexapro... or something.

 I also feel like I am better when my Husand is home... I am not wanting to drive as much as

before, I obsess about having an illness ( from the physical symptoms), I feel like I just want

to lay down and sleep, I feel bad like I am a burden to my family. I was the one who did

most everything and now i can't do half of what i once did.

 I just wanted to write and tell you that there IS someone going through the same thing you

are... If you ever want to exchange e-mail address' let me know. It would be nice to chat

back and forth with someone going through something similar.

 Take care of yourself and God Bless.
