TIRED BUMBED AND DEPRESSED

[missgunky]

After college, I made the decision not to work full time so that I could better take care of my body. I'm 28 now, and I've only been in the hospital once since that decision. But - and it's a big but - I don't have a family. All I can share is that in my experience, working part-time is a healthy choice.
As for the mental/emotional side of things, I had horrible abdominal pain a couple of years ago, and I felt like crying all the time. Turned out it was depression and anxiety. I went to a psychiatrist. I'm on Lexapro and Clonazepam now, and they help.

I'm fighting off with discouragement daily. It's affected my relationship with my family and friends. I've been pretty sick since May and this is the longest stent I've ever had. I just want to get back to being stable. I've been coughing up so much that I basically have been confined to the house for the last 5 months. It's so embarrassing going out and when you feel miserable...well you know how it is. I don't work anymore and I really miss it. I miss being productive. My doctor is concerned it might be progressing. He told me I will need another bronch soon due to coughing up blood. I also was just told I have a mass in my breast that has occupied 1/4 of that breast and another mass thats much deeper. I'm trying to stay positive but I guess I'm just exhausted with being ill. The doctor wants to put me on Celexa, I'm hesitant.

<b>Genevieve</b>,

I am sorry you're in such bad shape. I saw a post by you in some other thread and had intended to reply, but I am not having the best week. I no longer remember which thread and all that. I was unable to open the link to your blog in the other post, but this one works fine.

In the early part of 2001, I was essentially bedridden for about 3 1/2 months. Then I spent long periods where I was largely housebound. Getting better again has been a very long haul. I came up with some of my own ideas a bit over 7 years ago and have been gradually getting better ever since, and learning more. I thought you might be interested in reading the information I have put together so far on my website: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.healthgazelle.org">Health Gazelle</a>

I hope you find answers that work for you.

Peace. And good luck.

Hey,

I'm sorry you are going through such a tough time right now.. I had similar feelings when i was considering go out on disability, but honestly it was the best thing i could have done for myself and my family..

To me my top priority is taking care of myself IS my job !!!

There have been several times that i needed help w/ these decisions/depression whatever at the time.. I did seek counseling and or meds.

I am not crazy about the med thing, but i will take them if i am at that point for as long as needed, then stop.

Honestly, speaking to my therapist, my priest, family and friends and these good folks right here on the site has been a blessing for me..

I hope and pray that you realize how much you are loved by your family and friends and that your being here w/ them IS the most important thing..

Take care, keep us posted and God Bless you.. PM me if you want to talk.. <img src=""> joni
