Depression and Meds

[acm323]

Hi everyone. I'm a fairly new Georger.

I thought I would post about something that happened to me tonight. I'm in between medications for my depression. Tonight I had a bad episode. I was really irritable at work. After work I started driving around. I could barely concentrate on the road. I'm thankful that I didn't crash into anyone or anything.

I drove to my gym, parked in the parking lot, curled into a ball and started sobbing. My ex boyfriend returned my call and helped calm me down. I also called my mom and dad and they helped too.

I have a couple good friends. I lost three friends a few months ago. We had a big fight. I started thinking awful things about no one loving me. I started thinking about my future and how much I hated my job. And, I'm in between medications. My chemicals are all whacky. I fell apart.

I don't handle stress very well. I've learned that about myself.

I guess, I am asking anyone out there for prayers and good thoughts. I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

Alison

You'll have them. Always remember that there will be someone who cares. May God give you strength.

Hey guys. I'm having trouble again. I've been having a lot of trouble with my meds and my depression. I've missed a lot of work this month. If I'm not careful I will lose my job. If I get my act together I should be fine. Your thoughts and prayers would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You've got my thoughts & prayers. Just remember that there's a power higher than all of us who loves you VERY MUCH & will never forsake you.

I have just started on meds for depression myself. (about 3 months ago my doctor gave me samples to see how I'd do then a prescription. I took the pres to get it filled & my insurance refused it wanting me to take something else. This took about a week to find out & I ran out of the samples & the doctor didn't have anymore so I quit them cold turkey. When I went back to the doctor for my 3 month check last week I got a pres for what the ins will allow me to have. While I was off them I had a really bad day at work one day...if it had been an hour longer I might have had to hurt someone in particular! (we have a horrible two-faced snitch in our office & the boss just doesn't see it!).
Blessings!

Dear Alison,
It would be my pleasure to keep you in my prayers. I'm so glad you're getting help and that you have family and friends to support you in times of need.
Hang in there Sweetie.... and remember that the only constant in life is change. You'll be fine!

Thank you! I am trying to take a Family Medical Leave. That means I can take time off work when needed and not get in trouble. I need my doctor to sign some forms. I had trouble with the secretary the other day. So I called my doctor and told her I wanted her to call me back.

This heat wave is making me cranky. It's not helping.

Anyway...things are better though. God is helping me.

I just came across your thread & wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you too! :)

When you sense those overwhelming feelings coming just ask God to help you & He will! Be still & know that He is God! He loves you more than you could ever know!

Let us know how things are going!
