Quote From: heather175Hello.... I just came across this msg. board and thought it may be helpful. I am 30 and have battled with my depression since I was a child. Recently though I had a complete melt down & was briefly hospitalized. I am feeling much better than I was. I have started meds (which was scary for me) and I am suppose to be going to a psychatrist but I don't have ins. and neither myself or my husband currently have a job. I ahve not worked in over a year because I was in a horse accident which put me out for about 8 1/2 months and then 2 weeks after I got the green light my son's Dr. suspected a genetic problem with him so we have spent the past 6 mos. going to specialist. It's very hard to find an employer that wants to hire you and let you take so much time off to take your child to the Dr.'s all the time. Everything with my son has come back really well & he doesn't need to be seen by any specialist for 2 years unless something comes up. Yeah!!! So now I am job hunting.
Sorry i could blah, blah, blah forever. Just wanted to introduce myself and maybe make some friends.
God Bless,
Heather
Welcome to the board heather,
sounds like youve had a hard time of it. My name is blaze i have dealt with depression for over 13 years. along with some other disorders. I understand about the melt down have had two of them. and hve had two neck surgurys in the last two years. some psychatrist have a sliding scale fee check into it. they are the best ones to see for meds. and maybe get a therapist if you can. but where your not working that maybe hard. I am sorry to hear about your son. Hope things get better for you. Easier said then done.
Welcome again. everyone here is very supportive
