The biggest problem with dwelling on the same subject is that it moves from being a problem to a psychosis, at this point the root needs to be revealed and for many it is depression. This is a real tough thing to go through because it is different for everyone. In my case, I have sever depression but am really able to handle it with the use of medication (I am on Cymbalta). The medication helps me to cope and live a more level life. I also really deal with things one day at a time. I now have good days and I have bad days. It is not unheard of that people with difficult MD have also depression. When you think of what you go through it is tough to image how people even cope. Talk to your doctor about this, also Valium is great at reducing anxiety and helps put the breaks on the spinning. I fear for you because at some point you may really hurt yourself.
Not trying to scare you, many people on this site follow a similar regiment in controlling their condition. You are among many friends who care.

God bless!

Yes it is a fear that I will hurt my self or a child. I take niacin for depression I am not a big pill person. I have lots of food allergies and chemical allergies and drug alleriges so I am feeling sort of stuck.

Karen,
When my Meniere's was just starting to get out of control - you know realizing I couldn't do stuff I normally could do my doctor recommended I see a therapist. I wasn't really thrilled with the idea but I did go along and see a therapist. I only saw her for a few months but it was nice to have an hour to talk to someone who genuinely listened to me. Good luck!

Karen- I too started seeing a phychologist and it has helped me even though like leslie I was hesitant at first. But I find that it helps to because he isn't judging me. One of the biggest things he told me is to take some time for myself and we all know with kids that is hard to do. I hope this helps don't feel alone we are all here you along the way.

I just want all you young ladies to know how much I admire you! You are the center of the universe for your children, yet you somehow manage to find a way to get things done. My only advise is to try to get at least a couple of people who can back you up and help. There will be days where everything is just impossible, a compassionate and understanding husband, mother or sister can be a great help to you. I hope you all continue with much vigor to find the things that will help you manage your condition.

Have blessings in this day and always! : )
