I don't know where to turn. It feels (to me) as though I'm at a loss. My life literally blew up in my face, in a matter of 4 months. My Husband left me (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that's another story) My Therapist (who I was closer to than I've been with anyone in my entire life) moved away and cut off all contact, she referred me to a new therapist, but it's not even close to the same. My 28 year old Brother, who was my best friend in the whole world...passed away suddenly and out of the blue. I had no job (I'm supposed to start one on the 15th) I have a two year old Son that I'm not even able to care for thoroughly (I would never leave him neglected, I have a family member staying with me to help). I had a calcium deficiency when I was pregnant, which has caused my back teeth to basically crumble (nothing visible, thank god...but so very painful) my entire life has literally fallen apart.
I've had depression and a severe anxiety disorder my entire life, I've been on and off meds and was most recently stabilized decently well. Those meds stopped working. I started celexa about 3 weeks ago , and so far I feel nothing from it. I'm trying to get an apartment - my divorce will be final on sept 11th and I have to move out. I have a low credit score which is making it almost impossible for me to do so. I do not know how I'll pay for my psych meds until my new insurance kicks in (90 days after I start the new job). I literally don't know what to do anymore. I always thought that nothing could be "That bad" I always said that "whatever it is , there's a way to fix it" I was naïve, I was so wrong. This is bigger than me, all of it. I suppose writing this is my cry for help. I do not know where to turn. I'm at my wits end and am finding it hard to take another step.

Wow. So many shocks at once...
Your family member who is helping you with your son - will they be able to stay with you longer? Have you looked into potential social services (2-1-1) in your area? Now is the time to call for help. See if you can get active assistance to move into housing and get cheap or no-cost meds. PsychCentral Drug Discount Card Free and Low-Price Prescriptions – PsychCentral Topic

"This is bigger than me" is very insightful. Meaning we need lots and lots of help.

We can all use help. My help comes from encouragement from the bible. I know many people aren't avid bible readers, but it still helps me to cope with life's unexpected turns. The book of Job is a great example of endurance . He suffered a great deal in a matter of moments. Lost his livelihood, his kids, and his health... But he still persevered and had faith that God would help him. And he did. If I ever feel like life is handing me the wrong end of the stick again & again and again... I just think... If I can just keep hanging on I too can get through it with God's help. At least that's what helps me from one day to the next.

My spiritual beliefs have helped me through many struggles as well. God works through people too and I need the support of others.

The Bible can help some, as it deals with people like you who have had sudden, intense suffering with multiple losses in your life - at the same time it does take a while to read it and understand as it won't cure you overnight but build you faith up over time. elders of a local church can help guide you through it and usually be available to listen to any issues you have with it.
The Celexa is supposed to take 6 weeks before starting to see results. And yes, we can all use help |
