How can you find a way to be ok if you lack support of your family? I'm in the process of trying to restart my life. After a series of unpleasant events, including divorce, losing my job, hospitization for depression, and years of financial instability, I am back on my feet working in a job that i love. I have moved to a really fabulous city and have tenatively started to explore friendships. Although life seems good, I feel anxious. I've been trying to find a therapist to work with, but haven't found anyone that i feel comfortable with thru my health insurance plan and can't afford therapy on my own. I have been on antidepressants for past 5 years, but open to other options for treating depression and anxiety. At times feeling overwhelmed by powerful feelings of incompleteness and apprehension. Self medicate with exercise and diet, but worried that i will always be an interloper. Sometimes all that seems trustworthy is the surface. However, at times I feel hope in the profound silence that i tell myself precedes the things that are truly wonderful. This makes me feel hopeful, but not sure how to proceed.
