Tomorrow I will find out if I have to go back to work, also have to make a lot of phone calls concerning my situation and also meeting with a psychiatrist for an evaluation. All this has me going crazy. So anxious and scared to go back to work but just as scared to stay home doing nothing and not getting better. Anxiety, fear and depression: what a mix!

What a mix is right!!
 I'd be feeling as ambivalent as you are. I hate that push - pull feeling of not feeling safe, not being sure what you want. Let me know how it goes. I know it will be nerve wracking for you.  Good luck!

 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

Hey idontknow
you can do it - yes, you have LOTS of anxiety, but you can get back into the world and make it. Think positive!!!! (an no, thinking "I'm positive I can't do this doesn't count!!! )it's hard to be positive - i had a therapist tell me once that 'humans are wired to be negative'. I know from my own experience that the negative, anxious, and depressing thoughts come much easier than do the positive ones, but you can help yourself by making the effort to think positive. Sometimes to try and help myself I look at how beautiful the trees, plants, grass, flowers, etc are around. look at the beautiful rain and lightening (violent yes, but beautiful to me anyway). To be positive though you have to make an effort at it. You can do it!

Just came back from the psychiatrist who diagnosed a major depression and wants to change my antidepressants which he believes have not been working for me for quite a long time. He wants to put me on Effexor which he believes, will help me.
I am devastated by the fact that he told me not to expect to go back to work for at least another 3 monts, I think I will go crazy not to mention the financial aspect of all this. I guess I can expect to feel like this for quite a while.....what a life.... |
