I just joined today but I have been reading for a few days. I posted in the new member forum but thought I would come over here and share a bit.
I've had anxiety issues, depression and agoraphobia for a long time. It has progressively gotten worse and pretty much hit crisis mode a couple of weeks ago. (I didn't try to harm myself - I'm afraid of failure) Anyway - my hubby suggested I see someone and arranged it though his company's EAP program. They allow 3 sessions free and my last session is tomorrow, though last time I saw my T she said she was going to advocate for more. I don't see how we can possibly pay for the sessions if the insurance will not keep paying. I have been unemployed since we moved to a new town 3 years ago. (I wokred part time in a small shop before moving) This has not helped my situation as I have no friends here. The above stated issues, along with lack of education or skills are part of the reason I haven't looked for work until now. (and now it has become a neccessity which is causing all my issues to scream)
Anyway - back to the subject at hand. I can't make my brain shut up. I've tried deep breathing, I've tried walking, I've tried any number of distractions but I just can't make the voice in my head stop talking. (I guess I should be glad there is just one voice?)
