Hubby is trying to get on disability for his seizure disorder. We got a letter the other day saying that he needs to go to their shrink for a mental exam and psychological testing. It (and other things) got me thinking that maybe I needed to go see a shrink. I'm not 'crazy', just down. Then, I got to examining reasons why I might feel this way. Money was a big issue. So, then I was thinking, 'Money (or the lack of it) makes many people depressed. Those are the people who need to see someone. Those are the people who can't afford to see one.' Squishy's school has a deal worked out with a counseling center for, I believe, four free sessions for anyone in the family. I haven't checked to see if medicaid covers psychological counseling, but I need to. The counseling center isn't the greatest, unless you are an alcoholic, which I am not.

Hubby isn't much help. His new meds cause him to have more seizures, be easily aggitated, easily depressed, thoughts of suicide, thoughts of homicide, ect. Yes, we have an appointment to talk to his neurologist on Wednesday and get that fixed. But, until then, I'm walking around on eggshells and trying to ignore my own issues. Of course, by ignoring my issues, they just keep building up.

I need to talk to someone.
