All i want to do is curl up and lay on teh sofa and watch tv with my puppy. In fact i called out yesterday!!! How bad is that, its not even been two weeks.
Does anyone know what i can do so i can actually get some work done? I cant afford to lose this job. I dont have insurance so i cant talk to my Dr. I am on lexapro and although it helps im still panicky lately.
Please help i am utterly depressed and anxious. especially today

   I'm so sorry that your having such a rough go of things lately, (((((katielee))))). Since you don't have insurance, you should qualify for some level of financial assistance with healthcare through your county hospital/clinic where you can receive treatment for a reduced fee, and possibly through special programs at private hospitals/clinics, as well. Also, many pharmaceutical manufacturers have programs to help provide you with medications for a reduced cost or even free.
I would think that you should be able to call the doctor who prescribed your medication and let him/her know about your situation - he/she may be able to modify your med dosage without you having to pay for an appointment, especially if you explain your current situation.
When I first read your post, the first thing that came to mind was Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) - I know this may seem a bit odd, but please bear with me a moment. Newton's Law states,
"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
Equilibrium is achieved when all forces acting upon an object are in balance. "If two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balanced."
"All objects resist changes in their state of motion - they tend to "keep on doing what they're doing.'"
"Momentum is mass in motion."
At times in my life when it has been difficult to sustain motivation, I have relied upon momentum to get my "mass" through. Isn't it interesting that these basic laws of physics are equally applicable to our non-physical universe, as well.
I hope that you are able to find a way to feel better soon - we're all pulling for you. Please keep posting and letting us know how you are doing. Sending many supporting hugs to help.
