Are you serious?! I can't get my meds because the insurance company has denied the claim. so I am muscling through this on my own. Easter is coming and i can't breathe with all of the expectations on me. I just want to sleep until .... forever. Yet my nurse supervisor thinks that laughter is going to make everything better. Maybe i really don't feel as bad as i think i do... it's all in my head..... the sorrow, the loneliness, the tears I can't shed, the SI, i just have been handling it all wrong. I just need more laughter in my life. I'll get right on that, as soon as i stop bleeding...

Totally been there. No one believes me when I voice my concerns over my mental health, and they insist that if I take some multivitamins and stop being immature that all the depressive feelings will go away. It's something so prevalent in the medical world. You aren't alone. You have family that's supportive? Lean on them, that's all I can say. Hang in there, maybe things will work out with the insurance company. It's frustrating that people don't understand but the only thing you can do is get the meds, the therapy and just try.
