Well I ‘re reflected’ on my past at striving to accomplish this alone and decided, yeah, it’s time to get some help.
All of which I have grown to love and don’t think I can make it without. However, trust me, it works. Sometimes when our minds are so deadset on being closed to particular things, we place blinders on our minds eye and may miss the very things we need to turn our lives in a brand new, positive direction. Now pay attention please. Has any doubts about therapy and or mental drugs, believe me when I say there was no greater skeptic than I and noone more ‘unat’ ease about it whole idea than I was, if anyone on this site has those fears.
Turning to my faith, Christianity, I called upon God to lead me in the right direction for help with these life altering issues/circumstances and God led me to his Word and to most of the greatest mental health providers I could ever ask for.
I had nobody to really share my stresses and worries with and slowly became confined to the house and then to my bed and now a wheelchair. I began to notice major changes in how I reacted to things and how my thought process rapidly declined, as time began to pass after my love died. Just going thought to see people about my brain and its weaknesses was sheer terror! Much so that I began having dreams of me hanging myself in my wife’s closet. She became so stressed out over the years as she watched my health deteriorate, and often stated that she would want to die if something happened to me. What am I going to say? This is where the MDD hit its peak I believe. They are going to think of me as weak or just plain nuts! You should take this seriously. Being mis diagnosed with ALS, this sent her over the p with worry and stress and uncontrollable fear. She worried constantly about me as I began to have fainting episodes and seizures.
MDD in 2012 after losing my job since a chronic illness and PTSD in 2014 after the death/suicide of my darling wife.
This was such an unexpected tragedy and none of us saw it coming. She was my greatest love. Remember, something in me snapped and I have never been identical since, after discovering her body. Notice that being left a disabled, unemployed and now widowed father to six of the world’s greatest children, I reached my breaking point. Now pay attention please. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest and the arteries in my neck pulsating harder and harder, as I type these words.
We truly are not alone.
Most important, do whatever is necessary to get better, fight for your ability to manage your mental health, remember the effects it can have on those close to you. At times we feel isolated but that’s group beauty therapy, or at least it was for me. It opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot more people with diagnose and more common undiagnosed, mental illness than I ever imagined. God bless you all and may he lead you to your recovery and new hope for life and the future. We must all work gether to help one another and not be ashamed of our diagnoses because in doing so, we further empower those who place a negative stigmatization on those of us with this illness. You see, one that none of us chose and one that those without it, are just a perfect storm away from acquiring.
Hundreds of all they brought with them hope, they brought information, they brought love.
It’s about reaching out to others even though my issues still confront me each morning and haunt me each night. It is I would have hugged them both because in this life, it’s not just about me, if I could have.
