Having manic depression is tearing me apart.

Being poor doesn’t help either. I feel that if I weren’t here any more my family would be better off. No more doctor bills, no more meds to pay for, one less mouth to feed. My husband spends extra time away from home working over time just so we have enough money to pay our bills. I have told him numerous times that I would get a job to help, but he reminds me that I can’t handle the atmosphere. The last job I had (delivery driver) I got fired because my stress got to me and I had to take two weeks off, not to mention the irritable behavior. I can’t work, I can’t secretly work from home, I have nothing to contribute to this family. So why am I here? I just want to die.

Hun theres so much that you dont see though. Your their each day for your family right? And thats all that matters. Your husband wouldnt have married you if he didnt love you and want you to be with him and well. Im kind of in the same boat but not exactly. My boyfriend is amazing and helps me with all that he can. Sometimes i feel that he wants to give up on me or is just getting sick of me. It hurts me and makes me wish i was doing more but what can we do when we have problems? We just have to deal with them. Im learning one day at a time how to do that but its tough.

Help me with: So more news.

My husband tries to remind me that we only have about 6 more months of strugling to get by. What he doesn’t understand is that 6 months seems like forever to me. I want it now, not tomorrow. My docs change my meds everytime I go in because what they gave me quit working, or didn’t work in the first place. I feel like a guinnie pig and get tired of it at times. I want to just throw out everything and stat from scratch, but they won’t let me. I guess for the time being that’s wha will happen because I no longer have the money to get my meds. Mayb by the time I can go back to te dc she will see how I am off my meds, then she can give me the right ones and make a definate diagnosis.
