[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can’t afford therapy, throw yourself to the DCUM wolves for an objective reality check. Therapy helps if you can afford it, simply because it’s such s huge life transition. Or podcasts, calm app before sleep, affirmations, journal. It’s okay to get rx for depression, anxiety, sleep, poor diet, other issues. It works and it helps. Forget stigmas and stupid fears, nearly everyone requires some medical support as some point in their lifetime. Even the dr bronners folks want the good stuff to knock them out for a dental extraction, not just organic menthol gel. A healthy mind facing illness is doing what it is supposed to do when unexpected stress continues irregularly, and the body is forced to adjust. medicine helps get the motion functioning correctly, then everything else lines up on track until you’re ready to taper off. [/quote] OP here: From a physical standpoint-I feel like I am sleep walking with my eyes wide open. I also blacked out on the train en route and went to get my blood pressure checked. Apparently it was low blood sugar but the doctor said this can happen when stress is involved. so I have fears and paranoia about being injured with no help or my son having to call for help in an emergency. I am actively searching for a babysitter at the moment so that I can get into therapy. [/quote]
