Well I talked to my t today at her office. She is so wonderful; it helped get this stuff out of my head. I showed her my set backs (cuts). She got me to sign a release to speak to a few people on my behalf. She is phoning both of my doctors today. family doc and pdoc. She wants to set something in place for after I take my kids to dads. I was so happy to hear her say; "I do not question your abilities to parent, I see you with your kids and you are a good mom. You are stuck in this depression and we are going to do everything to help you with this. I think time away would be useful as I feel you need a break from all of this." My t have followed me through all of this and she knows that I have sunk myself into this fight for custody and getting my kids help; she thinks that I have forgotten about me and my health. That I am at the point of being drained both mentally and physically; I agree. She said that my physical health needs to be closely looked at and monitored. She felt bad but she said I look very ill. My face looks drawn and the weight I have lost worries her. I have dark circles under my eyes. I didnt notice it but she did. Anyway, I will let u know how it goes.

I feel a little better knowing that someone is looking out for you and will make sure that you are taken care of. It just doesn't have to stay so bad like this. I'm glad they are working with you on needing to be a mom to your kids, and that you are going to get help.

It was very hard for me to go and admit I was having problems. Good for you for being brave and facing them. Listen to your T and follow through so that you can be better soon!

Nice to hear from everyone. Thanks Leslie; it was good to hear from you. I am happy, aprehensive, nervous, worried; but it is all good. I am very lucky to have my t; she listens to good and always helps with what I want. I mean she fights for what I believe what needs to happen; she respects my opinions.
