Psychology is the study of the mind, behavior, study of mind development.

Hello,
Been struggling in my mind lately. I feel as though my every move is being watched. My wife seems to see something wrong. She seems to question everything I do, or don’t do. I want to find a p doc since I have not seen one in years. My gp has been prescribing my meds for a while, with out question. I don’t think that they are working for me. I have been seeing an interesting doc about different blood tests trying to get some of my vitamin and mineral levels in check, including my thyroid. I have not seen much if any help from this. Other people swear by this doc, I feel very pressured to continue with her. But I am starting to wonder if some of these other otc meds and other things are not adding to my mental instability. I have been able to keep things ‘together’, but I feel as though I am on the edge of a cliff. I am working 2 jobs at the present to pay the bills and provide for my family. I saw a talk therapist for a little bit, but things did not click. I live so far away from any professional help, it is not like I can just leave for an hour to go see someone. It is a most of the day event to see someone. Then that compounds the problem with getting enough hours in at work to get paid enough for the bills. I have been almost hypomanic for almost a year. May be because of all the extra meds from this other doc. I started collage, work 50-70 hrs at one job then another 16-24 at the other every week. I also tore down my old barn in and started to build a new one in its place. I also volunteer for several helpful organizations.
Well that is a mouth full. Please any suggestions. I think I know what I need to do but am somewhat afraid of doing it. Tell me what you think I should do???????? Help
Hugs from:

You should find a pdoc and quit volunteering. You work a minimum of 66 hours a week and take classes. It's no wonder you feel like you're losing your mind. The organizations you volunteer with will be fine without you until you're done with school.

I'm sure you've thought this out, but if you can make any changes to decrease your work hours that would be helpful. Maybe your wife can work part-time so you can quit your second job? Or take in a kid or two during the day to watch? It sounds like you live in a rural area, so I'm not sure how feasible that is.

Don't feel like you're skipping out on your doctor. What's going on with you isn't caused by a vitamin deficiency.
Thanks for this!

Rome wasn't built in a day. Cut back your hours.

I agree but my depression was greatly helped by getting my vitamin D levels to normal ... but cut back on the work ... downsize if the bills are too much ...

Definitely cut back something. If anything, the volunteering. I would definitely find a pdoc or therapist and start from scratch. That might include meds as well. Good luck!
