So, I've started on lamotrigine ( at a therapeutic dose now) and gabapentin and am on clonazapine (spelling?)

I have these uncontrolled crying spells. Usually in the morning. I will cry at the drop of a hat. It's so frustrating.

Here is a list of possible stress items:

Husband is very stressed at work. He works 7-4 but sometimes doesn't come home until 7 as he's got so much to do. I am pretty sure that my being so unstable right now really stresses him out as well.

My 17 year old's car just broke. Transmission, so to fix it would cost more than the car is worth. He's only had it a month. His last car, around a month ago had a similar problem, to fix it would cost more than the car is worth.

My uncle passed away a couple weeks ago. I think I've dealt with it well. We weren't really close, so my grieving was more centered around being really sad for my mom and his other siblings.

I've been off work since December. I don't know what I'm going to do. My employment insurance is done June 20. I have no other financial options if I'm not ready/cleared to go back to work at that time.

I am having some side effects to the new drugs such as GI issues and nausea.

As well, I'm very concerned about cognition issues. Thus, my worry about returning to work.

I don't have any friends to talk to about this. My therapist is more concerned about providing information on DBT at the moment. At one time, I was talking to her about some of my frustrations, and she told me "Don't make any more appointments until you work this stuff out". Well, I called her recently and she asked why I was calling, to make an appointment? I don't know if I should as for a new therapist.

Ugh, sorry for such a long post. I'm at a loss right now.
