Hi all: I'm 40 years old, Mother of 4 (18,16,6 and 4), Re-Married to a very patient man(but he can't seem to get things together either as far as moving our lives ahead).
I was diagnosed 4 years ago after the birth of my last son. I am currently on Prozac, Buspar and Strattera. I suffered with depression since I was 13, somehow everyone thought I would outgrow it. I did ok by developing coping techniques, however, I have deen ridiculded and made fun of for some "habits" I can't seem to overcome: Such as being late, disorganized, and overly emotional. after leaving a Job in February because I was overwhelmed AGAIN, I have been having a lot of self doubt. I am afraid to try again even though I have 2 1/2 years into my bachelors in Social Work (Honors status) and I am intelligent, loving, hardworking. I can't seem to get my courage up.
I recently applied for my "dream job" counseling teens at a local home. I'm afraid to go through with the interview and screening process for fear they will see through me and realize I'm a mess.
I've been monitoring this board for a few months -- too afraid to step up I guess.TEXT
