I feel for ya A Mom Anon. This summer I had some kind of breakdown complete with panic attacks which scared the shit out of me. I checked myself into an IOP Intensive outpatient program which really helped me but I failed to continue with outpatient therapy partially due to my crazy work schedule. Partially because I feel that this is just the way it is for me. I’m on Zoloft, which definitely helps me. I tried a “supplement” from my psychiatrist but it was way to powerful or something so I stopped taking them. Also I think the psychiatrist is incompetent or don’t give a fuck. Anyways he’s leaving for greener pastures so I need to get on the ball and keep working on myself. Also being down here with the “little people” trying to keep my head above water, many of my friends and relatives are just being buried by this recession which is depressing me as well. Just know you are not alone and I agree about people talking shit about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. I like to remind these people that just because, you know, you haven’t been diagnosed doesn’t mean you don’t have problems.
