RE: 2019 Wrap Up (aka Thank Goodness it's OVER!!!)
@byn, I'm not sure exactly when you published this because Steemit doesn't provide exact dates for some bizarre reason. I'm sorry I missed it at the time so I could send you some encouragement! I'm trying to take a little time to look up and check in on people I haven't heard from in a while, and you are right at the top of the list!
I sure hope things have started to lift up for you and your family. Take the meds. Why not have that working for you so that you have better coping skills for all the other stuff? Unless the side effects are worse than the actual depression, why wouldn't you?
Your husband's health situation sounds pretty scary. I really hope they figure it out and that you all have a better year! Hugs!!
Thank you. The medication that we were both taken was suspected to be exacerbating my husband's health issues (but as it turns out, that is unlikely since in the last two months it's gotten far worse even after being off of it for a while).
For me, it made my anxiety so bad that I was literally sitting on the couch trying not to have a complete panic attack most of the time. I was not functional.
Unfortunately, we don't have insurance, but we do have a subscription to a Dr's office. BUT we can't get in to see the actual Dr/get a new prescription to try until the end of Feb (we made our appointments in late December).
We really don't have a lot of options. Medical shit is way too expensive and our finances still haven't caught up with ANY of the medical bills from the last year or our regular living expenses. Unfortunately (again) we have to make sure we have a house to live in before we can afford to do much else at this point.
Last month was probably the absolute worst for my husband's health and we're doing everything we can to keep our heads above water, but I'm not going to lie, it was a ROUGH way to start out the year. I guess that means it can only get better from here!!! (PLEASE)
Good to hear from you! I worry. I really do hope things will be on the upswing for you soon. Here’s hoping your husband’s business ventures take off this year and you can all afford the care you need. Certainly, keeping a roof over your heads is top priority!
