I need help....

[edensunshine]

Hi,I want to start off by stating that I lost my mother June 1st of 2009 to a car accident. Though I know I have depression, from learning of that through my childhood yrs.., I am facing some scary things for myself. I work late at night and when I do I can barely hold myself up even when drinking water and eating well. Driving home at night I almost fall asleep even when I'm not tired. I find myself constantly being tired, ill, dizzy, having headaches, shaky, and my menstrual cycle is wacky. I am nervous because I know somethings going on with me. I even can't eat a lot of sweets or i will feel sick, and I have lost of appetite, and I am hot some days and cold other though when Im cold I can feel the bones in my back hurting horribly. Please help me.....Thanks

Should I be on a anti depressant or is something worse going on with my body.....???

Hi, so sorry to hear about your mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  I also think depression is causing your problems and you need to see a professional to get diagnosed, therapy and/or medication.  I lost both my parents in a car accident when I was 25, so I know what you are enduring.  There is help for you, you're not alone as we have all experienced depression and many still are. See someone right away so that you can start to feel better and get your life back.   There are grief counselors who can help, and also the pastor at your church.  Take care...

Hi, I'd say that you are depressed.  Talk to you doc, maybe he can refer you to a pdoc.  I'm sorry that you lost your Mom too early.  It might be helpful to talk to someone who can advise you on grief.  Hope this helps.  Hope that you work thru your grief.
