Hi everyone,
I have previously posted on and off on the medication board....and maybe once or twice here...wondering what others feel about their current situation. For me, I feel as though I have two choices
1) Either spend every ounce of sanity I have holding down a job just to make ends meet or
(2) live with my mother and have somewhat of a life outside of work as I can't keep it together to do both....
Currently, I am working and trying to survive. However, since that takes every bit of energy I have I often live without groceries, have difficulty showering on the days off, am behind in housework (and I mean really behind), and sleep when I am not working (which is really bad because I am a single parent). I sometimes feel my child may be better off if I moved in with my mother as I am so spent at the end of the day that I am either short tempered, sleeping, or "unavailable" to give her what she needs...anybody have any suggestions.....YEARS of therapy with several different therapists has not made a difference! I dont care what anyone says....psychotherapy does not work UNLESS there is a reason for the way you feel that is not JUST because somebody decided to short circuit your neurotransmitters. I know many will disagree with me....but others will know EXACTLY how I feel. I wish I could explain why I am so irritable with delving into my issues but honestly the only reason I am irritable now is because I cant get a break from this horrible disease....and YES I think that mental health issues are MEDICALLY based. Ok...rant over for now.....hope I didn't offend anyone....just trying to get some issues out there that maybe someone else can relate to.FM
