Hi Courtney, I know that your current state of mind, along with all the external stresses...finance, school, kids etc. can become overwhelming at times.... believe me when I say "I know".
My last bad spell was this past Dec. and lasted approx. 4 months. I have a great p/doc, no financial worries and a great job so I can imagine the added worries you're currently struggling through.
A racing mind is the last thing you need, and yet it seems that's all you can do, worry about what tomorrow will bring, or feel guilty about yesterday's failures.
I can't imagine having to pay for my doctor visits and meds.... I do pay my monthly premiums although its a rather trivial amount for the unlimited services/meds.
But hey, I really believe most of "US" are actually stronger than the average joe! Sure we have a cycles filled with doom and gloom, that's what makes us stronger and more appreciative of what life has to offer.
Now, if I'd had read this post back in December, well, perhaps it may have helped, or not??
But here I am today and I did survive, and I'm going to continue doing so. And so will you Courtney!! You could be a p/doc visit away from some of the best days in recent time! So, try and remain positive, even when we hurt, we always find a way to move forward.I don't mean to trivialize your current state for I know just what you are dealing with now. So in a way, I do know more than the average p/doc.... the old experience over education adage!!
Hang in there girls, it's going to be a great summer!
Take care, Rick
