Job Anxiety and Depression

...See more So Sunday I was having the best morning! We took the boat out around the bay. Drank little champagne and I'd made fresh croissants. It was sunny and beautiful. We went up on a beach and I laid out listening to our favorite radio program. My husband and I had the greatest time, then..... Then we got back home and there it was waiting on my phone. A text message from work. I work seasonally. I've been with the company for 6 years. I've an out standing record and a wonderful reputation. It's a boutique cruise line. They are regulated by the US Coast Guard. I work in the hotel side of things, but because I work on the vessels, my medication became an issue. They won't offer me summer work until I'm cleared of my medications. That I pretty much no longer have a job is killig me inside. It was the job that lead to my breakdown 6 months ago, but I'm trying to understand from their point of view. At the same time, to hear it in a text, not a even a phone call. Oh, and to make it worse, the person who sent it to me is one of my closest friends in the company. I've barely left my bed for two days. I haven't been out of my pajamas since Monday. I try to force myself to do somethings. I try to smile, but I just can't. I just needed a safe place to put all this. Thank you whoever you that might be reading this.

...See more I'm terrified of heights! We live on a sailboat. I needed to go halfway up the mast today. I did it! I suffer from GAD! To overcome even this small step was huge! The rest of the day is a reward for doing this! Curl up with the cat, have a glass of wine, and read my book! Wishing each of you a small conquest today!

...See more It's very weird, I'm dealing with GAD, symptoms: Anxiety, Depression, and panic attacks. My psychiatrist said it's chronic and permanent. I'm trying to absorb that. I'm trying to be supportive of others and I'm trying to get my projects done for the day. It's just one of those hard days. I actually had a panic attack in one of my dreams the other night. I just feel OK, no joy. Thanks for letting me have a safe space to put this.

Ulcer

...See more I feel like crawling back into bed today. I've had a number of stomach issues over the last month and it looks like I now have an ulcer. It also looks like it is the SSRI I'm taking that is adding to it. Adjusting to my meds has been a roller coaster for me. Exhaustion, Diarreha, Bad Bruising, No Appetite, Weight Loss, and other side effects. I'm just wanting to stop combating my anxiety and my body at the same time! I'm feeling frustrated today. Emotionally, I've been doing so well, making so much progress, but today it's just too much for me.

...See more On Monday I found out a friend from high school went off his scrips, had a breakdown and attempted to set himself afire. Yesterday I found out my closest friend received shocking news. Her ex husband almost killed her a few years back, which I already knew, but he might get out of jail on a technicality. Also, tomorrow is my first appointment with a psychiatrist. My anxiety level is pretty high right now. I just needed to put what I'm going through in a safe space. Thanks!

...See more It's been an ordeal finding someone to see me while traveling. Three months ago I had a breakdown, but have tried everything to work my way back. Stumbling block, part of the year I live in one place, the other another. My MED's are running low and no one wants to see me because the main one is [omitted]*. I've finally found someone to see me and start proper in person therapy! It's relief and anxiety at the same time! *Omission made by zaatarHoney. Thank you for understanding.
