Who are you waiting on to make your appointment. Call MilitaryOneSource. They will explain how to get you into a counselor...without TriCare. You can get 6 free sessions without notifying Tricare, if you go through MilitaryOne Source. However, I have been told that counseling, so long as it is for you, solo, as a dependent, does not require a referral...so you would not have to wait on anyone to make your appointment. You would simply be able to pick a TriCare provider and use them.
Don't you feel like your own place to live with help? Have you been actually talking to a counselor...not just taking medication? Do you feel like a bit of this has to do with Riley being gone? What was it like before he left? Personally, I think you are in a huge life change...and you are a bit lost how to cope with it. Not minimizing the actual depression, just an observation on top of the depression.
I really understand what you are saying!!! I am here for you if you ever want to talk. I can listen and I know you feel alone but what you have to know is that you are beautiful and you are amazing even when you feel like this... You are AMAZING. I can tell you are reaching out!! If you want my # send me a PM!! And, you do not need a beer or need to get drunk. sending love!!
Mandy, can you workout at all... even force yourself (schedule it in) to for a few weeks just to get the natural endorphins? Or go for a walk everyday? Also, not sure if you are religious... if not then ignore this... but if so reach out to your church? Functional is important. Can you try small changes... no tv, try music!! Sometimes you can repeat yourself and it is not that they do not hear you but they do not get it. You do not deserve to feel this way!
@alandamandamama I can work out, it's just getting the want or desire to work out. It's hard for me to get off the couch much less work out. But am going to try to force myself outside daily. I'll spend days in the house, never going outside for anything. Maybe i just need sun and fresh air. I choose not to have a religion, so it's hard for me to consider church. I don't feel a apart. I love music, it is one of my passions i wish i had never given up.
@mandyeveritt Just force yourslef whether it feels good or not to go outside... Activitiy is engaging and if your force yourself daily then you will eventually feel something and feeling something is better than feeling nothing. Also, look into taking Vitamin D3... I bet if you are indoors your body is lacking that and that helps you balance and can help your mood. I take a liquid one since I live where there is no light in the winter.
How does your husband treat you? Is he good to you or does he make you think these things about yourself? I am just trying to figure out if someone else is making you feel these things or if it is the chemical imbalance making you think these things about yourself. We do care!
@JenNTim509 Riley is a good man, don't get me wrong. But he is emotionally unavailable most of the time. He doesn't understand, he doesn't get it, so he doesn't respond. And when he does, it's never what I want or need to hear.
First of all.. you look stunning in this video!! Second, I am always here if you want to talk. I wish I lived by you so we could hang out and talk and get you feeling better! If you think about it.. it is really not your fault! It is a true chemical imbalance going on and you can't control that. You should really call your doctor again and let them know because I really believe it is still post partum depression. Were you this depressed before you had Liam?
@JenNTim509 Thanks! And thank you for being there for me. I wish i lived closer to someone who would want to spend time with me. I was never like this before Liam. I mean i got depressed every now and then, but never this bad. Never this self loathing, and just hate for me and life. The anxiety always was like this though. That was normal and i could live with it. I asked the doctors and they said im too far out for it to be PPD anymore.
I know how you feel.:( I'm like that a lot myself. I feel like I'm unable to do much because I'm so down. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I hope you feel better soon. Just remember when you aren't down how wonderful life really is.
