Question:
Answers:
I think you need to gather you resources and look for a more pleasant job. You seem to be an intelligent person. There has to be other alternatives other than this job. You need to never give up! Don't let this illness take over. Convince yourself you won't let it. You need to set down and write out a new resume. Make a list out of all the things you know how to do and run. Write down all your strengths and good things about yourself. Encourage yourself, tell yourself you are an important person and you have a lot to contribute. Find work that you love and do it. Think enthusiastically about everything especially your work. What ever you do, do it with all your heart and soul. When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die. Do little things for other people this will help cheer you up too. You will get back on the right track as long as you try. Hope gives life its flavor. As long as hope lives so do we. Keep hope alive. You need a change. Change is inevitable. To resist it is to invite disappointment and defeat. When we accept change--and use it to our advantage--change becomes an ally rather than an adversary. When one door closes another one opens. Good luck hun! I hope I helped in some small way. Hugs! Von!

i have nothing positive to say. but i'm barely getting through my days. i'm at work right now. i work in a counseling office. my therapist and i have recently realized there are a lot of triggers to my dissociative periods and anxiety, depression, etc. here at work. i'm being sent to a psychiatrist b/c my current antidepressant/antianxiety med is doing crap for me. i'm 23. i used to cut when i was a teenager and w/in the last couple months again have picked up this disgusting and obsessive behavior. it's out of control and i'm scared i'm going to be admitted to an inpatient unit. i know w/o it currently i would not be making it through the day. i'm obviously pretty unproductive at work. i'm waiting for someone to notice. my current diagnosis is major depression, severe, ongoing, w/cutting. and monday at my session we were looking at the diagnosis of depersonalization disorder. it's scary ****. i really think i'm going insane. so you are not alone in your feelings of crappiness. there are a lot of us out there. i wish you well.
You know it is easy for some people to say, oh your okay you just need a change. I am on medication for this and see a doctor and therapist for this. It isn't easy to change. When you are several burned out you can't think to figure out a way to get it together. Finances are the hardest problem. I keep trying have people helping with budgeting, but it isn't working for me. I have a 21 year old son who is bipolar, authistic, and has frontal lope seizures. He is on medication. I also have a 14 year old daughter that wants it all. I seem to be in the middle. Then there is my mom, she pays for my car. I pay the insurance. They all hit me at once and want my money. I just want to scream or cry. I need to take control and let them no the answers are no no no no no, etc. Then there is the houseclean. They don't want to do any. I end up doing it by my self. Did I for get to say I am physical handcap. The kids are starting to help, but not fast enough for me. ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE. Some days I want to go to Texas and hit the praire. Trail and nothing around me. I just keep trying though and work with the doctor and therapist. They may be changing the medication soon. Life has to change; I keep praying and reading my bible. God will send Jesus soon and this will all stop. I believe he can help. I hope you can work with him. If you are working with him; keep it going. God Bless!
I suffered the same thing but with therapy and medication you can recover and come back stronger than before. Initially it seems that it is hopeless but that changes. But it takes time. All the best.
