Hi, I'm brand new to this. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety & Depression. I also believe I have OCD, but this has not been technically diagnosed. So I am on AD meds daily. These help me sleep, but I feel they don't help with other stuff. I am married, to a wonderful hubby, who also has been diagnosed with A&D and is on meds too. So I had to give up a great job, due largely to my inability to cope with stress. I have since not worked, and it has been over a year now. When i quit, was when my doctor diagnosed me. I have been running a small home business during this time, but it has proven to be costing me money, not earning me money, so I am about to give it up. My hubby works really hard, sometimes 12-14 hour days, and we are on one wage. I cannot receive Centrelink, as he earns too much and that puts us over the threshold. It is very hard paying loans, mortgage, school costs (our boy is in his last year at High School), etc. I feel extremely guilty that I can't find another job in our small town. I am worried that if I do get another job, I will have to tell them I have A&D and they won't hire me. I push myself to go outside, as I was told to get 15 minutes sunshine per day directly into my eyes, and to do this I do my home business deliveries. In summer I go to the pool twice/week to do water aerobics, but being winter that is on hold. I can't afford to join a gym, as we are already in financial hardship, and I don't want to put further strain on my hubby to pay extra bills. I also believe I have addictions (food). I am rapidly putting on weight, and feel panicked about getting sicker and sicker and becoming even more of a burden on my family. Who can I see that I don't need to pay for? I feel like I could talk to someone but don't know where to start to find someon. Is there a community service and where could I find this? Any help would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance
