I have pretty severe depression. I also have a 9 y/o with Asperger's & bipolar & a 6 y/o with an anxiety disorder & who has been traumatized by the anger/manic behaviors she's seen with her brother. I was a dentist practicing part time but my boss kept cutting my hours & I just couldn't manage a career & my kids with all their issues. I resigned but they were pushing me out by cutting my hours. I'm waiting to hear if i'm approved for unemployment. Feeling kinda panicky & starting to feel isolated & a bit guilty/paranoid (everybody hates me-that sort of thing.) We have a team of really great therapists that works with our family & I have a private therapist & I know this is a time when I need ectra support but I'm afraid to bother them too much. I'm feeling scared I'm going to lose that support system too (I have no real reason to suspect this is the case--just part of the panicky feeling.)
