Hubby is trying to get on disability for his seizure disorder. We got a letter the other day saying that he needs to go to their shrink for a mental exam and psychological testing. It (and other things) got me thinking that maybe I needed to go see a shrink. I'm not 'crazy', just down. Then, I got to examining reasons why I might feel this way ( Read more... )

You need to take advantage of one of the free phone lines offered by places like Samaritans, they cant really diagnose, or offer medical opinions, but you can unload on them. Some times just saying it all out loud will help you cope - especially when its someone who doesn't know you or your family. Also, if your involved with the local church, they can also offer you support and guidance. Free help is out there, take advantage of it.
Till then I wish you and your family well x x x

Yeah, I know, but with hubby not working because of the seizures, he is home most of the time. My cell phone is prepaid, so that won't work without costing me a TON. I really don't have anyplace 'private' to go to talk and have hubby or kids or parents not listen in. My pastor isn't very approachable, most of our Stephen Ministries people are related to me. I am checking things out. Thanks for the support.
