I have only just recently learned what sa is and how much it really affects what i do. First of all I want to thank all of you here after spending some time reading through some of the other posts I realize I need to get some help.
I have lived with sa for as long as i can remember even if i had no idea what it was, i knew something was wrong but at the same time couldnt and didnt know how to ask for help. I dont really know why but over the last month maybe two things have become much much worse. I sit and tremble all day in my office at work and now i can feel the full depresion settling in but i dont know what to do.
My first question then is where do you start? Who do you go and see about it first? A few years ago I was at the family doctor and he told me i was probably depresed and gave me something to take, I dont really remember what it was. I have had some bad experiances with family doctors and feel like im nothing but a bit of quick cash for the visit and a kick out the door. So is there anywhere else to start besides the family doctor?
For the second part, i didn't know what to do or where to go. The other day was especially bad i came home from work and just sat at my blank computer all day. My mom kept trying to talk to me and ask me if i was ok. Every time she opened my door or asked me if i wanted dinner, or if I was feeling better in a flash i was just so angry for no reason i would snap her head off telling her i was fine.
I kept telling myself to find somewhere to start and get some help but i had no idea where to start of how to go about it. Later that night i finally worked myself up into talking to her and tried to explain things and ask what i should do. She was fairly understanding all things considered but, i dont think she really understood. She seems to think i was just bored that day or something but told me she would see if she could figure something out.
Now I think I never should have mentioned it to her. I dont even feel comfortable at home any more. Today i kept trying to come up with someplace else i could go after work so I didnt have to come home. I ended up sneaking in the house so i didnt have to talk to her.
I could really use some advice about how to deal with all this, I dunno it seems like I've been carying around a bucket of water forever, difficult to be sure but not impossible, and now I'm trying to drag 10 behind me all of a sudden. Is that how it work with sa or is this a secondary problem?
im sorry about the long post I just don't know where to go for help and this seemed like the best place to ask.
