Hi barb08,

Not feeling so great myself. I always feel so alone also.

Anything else you want to talk about?

[barb08 in reply to Lostjoy]

i ts like being in a dark hole with no escape

[Lostjoy in reply to barb08]

Yes I agree.

Hey Barb - Sorry you're not feeling so good. Has anything particular triggered this? Thinking of you

[barb08 in reply to priyanw]

lack of employment feeling useless

[barb08 in reply to barb08]

going for medication evaluation Friday

[gogogirl in reply to barb08]

Hey, I understand believe me. You are not useless- just feel that way. Can you go to a career center and take workshops? What is your field?

[barb08 in reply to gogogirl]

I have been doing healthcare since 1994. But I want to do something different.

[gogogirl in reply to barb08]

You say you are unemployed but you have been doing healthcare for many years. Are you a nurse and can you do something in administration?

[barb08 in reply to gogogirl]

Yes I am unemployed. I have done mostly health-care. Looking to do something different

[gogogirl in reply to barb08]

Were you a nurse? Anyway, thank you for all of your years of dedication. I know what it is like to try different things, and I am old. It's HARD! At any rate- I remember reading this book many years ago called What color is My Parachute ? It's pretty good. I know there are life coaches out there, but they can be expensive - maybe a career center? Again, it sounds like you have helped a lot of people in healthcare, and now it's your turn to get some help.

[barb08 in reply to gogogirl]

thanks great encouragement. I was a CNA. I will consider reading the book.

[gogogirl in reply to barb08]

Well , you really got in the trenches! Wow. This is an older book, but there may be updated versions, and I am sure there are others as well. A career center might have them. How long has it been since you were a CNA? That must be stressful

Barb believe me you are not alone, it's millions of us suffering from depression, anxiety and so on, every morning I wake earlier than I would like the very heavy anxiety wakes me up I cry sometimes because I'm really having a hard time, finely started medication for 3 weeks now and no relief yet, I know it can take 4-6 weeks before the medication kicks in and I hope that this is the right medication for me. God bless you and I hope you find peace and comfort.

[Southpark]

I’m here for you too Barb. This is all very hard. I have problems sleeping as well as anxiety and depression. We are here to support you. Please continue talking to everyone. We are here to support one another
