Need some advice

HEy Erin,
 
I think you got great advice thinking of your interview as an informal chat! As for chatting I will try to log into the chat more often!

Hey Joe,
 
Yeah, I like my job but not THAT much lol!
 
As for the meds I still take them reluctantly. I struggle with it but I figure as long as the pros outweigh the cons I will take them. And hey my life can't possibly remain this insane much longer can it? It is not so craazy and yet it is. My life used to be crazier in the sense that I had more to do, more work, more school, etc...But now my life is crazy in the sense that there is more in it falling apart! I have more scrambling and fixing to do to try and keep the whole dang ship from sinking. I tell you atm, the rats are skipping ship! I am bailing the boat out but it is hard work! But As always I will be ok! Just need to get through this rough patch. And that is why I take the meds. More pros then cons. But I still HATE it!
 
Btw, thanks for empathizing with me on the finances and all that! Hard stuff to fix. I asked begged (note this is the verb to beg ) my boss for more hours. She was very nice but said she might not have anything for me till January !!! Bleh! But I will manage! I am stressed, we are broke, my hubby missed work yesterday and got sent home early today, our car is junk and we will need a new one, I won't have more cash till most likely January, Christmas is coming and all that but I will be ok! I am ok and I will be ok!
 
Oh and btw, I am a Tiger in a world full of gerbils, I love it! Joe, I love that thanks! Roar!
 
My school application are going nowhere and I feel terribly anxious about that. But I should have time to work on that tomorrow, hopefully. I am a tiger! I think you found me a new motto to add to the other ones!
 
Anyway, thanks for the replies Joe, it helps a lot!

Btw, we went to the councellors yeaterday me and my hubby. We had been fighting all day, then we had therapy. Yeesh it got rough. I wonder what the poor lady would have been thinking!Oh man, in the cold light of therapy me and my hubby are even crazier and dysfunctional then previously estimated! He even stormed out before the end of the meeting and everything. But he agress to go back. That is if she will still have us. I left her a message to get a new appointment but she has not called back yet. Hope she gives us another appointment. We definetely need it! Anyway, so that is how that went.
 
Oh! And he denied having gaming issues in there I could have strangled him! Anyway, she told him he seemed depressed and he is responsible for getting better! That he did have to go for help and couldn't expect me to stand by him if he refused to help himself. That made me feel so much better! I am not crazy or mean for thinking that! Shrotly after he stormed out!
 
But he did accept going back if she wants us back. So here is to hoping she likes drama!

Hiya everyone

HEy Zoe,
 
Sorry for the late reply! I was diagnosed a very long time ago. I had a few rough patches. I was diagnosed as an early teenager. Became homebouns unless my mom was with me. And even then I was scared. Did some therapy and it helped. Finished high school and went to college. I met my husband and moved in with him. Then it got really bad again. I got agoraphobic again. Same deal, could only go out with mom or hubby and even then it was scary and I did it seldomly. I did therapy, meds (lots of meds!), group therapy, etc, the works! Then I met my current therapist. He is costly but wonderful, extremely good. He saved my life! I got better. Went to school. Was doing great! Was off all meds. Then Ihad a relapse. Except I could not afford to go see my therapist as much as I needed. I was having trouble leaving the house. Was having trouble staying home alone. I would be shaking in my boots non-stop. Then I found this site! And I had immediate relief to have support here! Then I showed the program to my therapist and he was thrilled! So I saw my therapist when I could afford it (maybe once a month) and did the program here. And it changed my life. The program here is so good. If you do the work, it will pay off. I won't lie, It is hard work but it is worth it! It pays off! The program here is amazing and it helped me so much. I truely believe in this program! So give it a good try and you will get to where you want to go! But hey, if you can afford it, once you manage to go out (the program will help you get there if you work it) you can always do like me and see a therapist also! And hey, if you can go out accompanied like I could, you can do both now. But if you are asking if I think this program can help you, yes I truely do. It is hardwork but it is great!

Hey Joe!
 
Glad you got a laugh out of that!  OOH I see I have a new nickname lol. Tiger doc, catchy! Makes me sound like some cartoony superhero lol!
 
I agree with you that him agreeing to go back is a big step. He also agreed to speak with his doctor about his constant low mood. His appointment is not before December but still glad he agreed to talk to him. Now will he do it? who knows but him just being open to the idea is a step in the right direction I think.
 
I think in a way it is good he blew up and left, at least he was not faking and was being true to himself. Being honest! And she got to see how we are together. And yeah, lots of bones got dug up. Hopefully we can clean the closet out.
 
I just hope we have not scared her off. That worries me a bit as she has not called us back yet. I do hope she calls back, it took me so long to find her!
 
Anyway, here is to hoping!
 
Today I had a visitor. It was geat. My aunt. I missed her so much! It was intense though as she is in crisis. I hope I managed to help her. But I am in one of my hyper moods so I am not sure I was helpful. I hope I helped more then I hindered! I am so syper! I ca't imagine sleeping. I feel like a rocket just before lift-off!  Not anxious, just oddly hyper! I feel like I am talking too fast and loud and, I don't know how to explain it lol. Anyway, today was a good day. I got to see my auntie and hug her and tell her I love her. Hyper or not, good day!
