Can't Handle Stress

Jenniferswe

I was told this a long time ago by my psychiatrist nurse practitioner.  She was right.  When I get stressed, whether it's big or small, I go into depression.


I'm trying the best I can to handle it but I'm not sure what to do.  I don't know if changing to another mental health care provider is the answer or try a different treatment.  I'm so scared.  We tried changing meds awhile back and that was a disaster.  It put me in the psych ward.


I'm suffering so much right now.  I'm crying as usual.  I know others need prayers.  Could you please and me to the prayer list.  Thank you my friends.

Stress and anxiety is HUGE in life. I spend time in therapy coping with it….building up all my tools to get through, often exhausted by it.

Hugs and a prayer.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
