Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I know I talk about this a lot, but.....

Honey, your posts are about enough to make me cry. I have been in your shoes so many times. I've been through a couple bouts of major depression. I've been in and out of therapy for about six years, and I have yet another appointment next Wednesday. I'm on a mood stabilizer I want to change, but if I weren't on it I probably wouldn't have graduated from college or found and managed to hold a full-time job or much of anything else. And I KNOW how difficult it is to ask for help. I KNOW, because I've had to do it. I had to call my mother in another state and ask her to take off work and drive down (8 hours) and clean my dorm room and take me out to eat and go with me to therapy and help me sign paperwork allowing her to talk to my therapist in the case of an emergency. I failed a class that semester, and the next semester I only took two, yes two, classes. In other words, I barely graduated. But I'm still here, because I did what I had to do. And the very first thing I had to do was ask for help. Please, please, please do the same for yourself. E-mail me--my address is in my profile. And my thoughts are with you.
