the world on my shoulders
i'm 24 yrs old and my only thing i have my mom had a stroke 4 day b4 thanksgiving day 09. i care for her two grands as well as my 9 mnth old baby girl now. i refuse to take meds in fear of being diagnosed on papers and the consequences that can have on my future employment etc what to do? because i need to be healthy for my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i want be a good and stable parent for the kids. i need parenting advice troubled and broken children and grievence daelings advice.
Well sorry for the late reply i've been busy. I feel i need meds for depression i know what's going on and i do know how i feel. i read alot and i looked up my symptoms. i knew when would cry getting up and didn't like going to the grocery store or outside of the bed something wasn't right. currently i've talked to my doc he's very good and compassionate he recommended counseling and prozac. i'm currently trying to get health insurence. memployer doesn't over it till november. It's so hard still but i've been crying it out and praying till i start my prescription.
You don't state why you think you need meds. Anxiety or Depression??? What are you dealing with?
If it is about the two mentioned above I can only advice you to go and see a Doc.
Don't be scared of being diagnosed by a professional and treated for it. First of all you are seeking help to help your family. Secondly nobody would blame you for any Depression or Anxiety or anything for what you are going through right now. You are dealing with a lot of stress. Last but not least, your medical history should not play a role in your future employment. You medical history is nobodies business unless you are applying for a job were physical and mental health is checked. The best of the best require a lil help every now and then.... and being on Antidepressant is not a crime you know. Dr. Lawyers and the average Jo takes those meds these days.
I hope that was some help or encouragement to go and seek the help you want and need.
stay in touch if you like
good luck and take good care!!
