Depression-The Silent Killer
A back and shoulder injury in 2000 and 2002 left me permanently disabled and unable to work outside my home. It became a struggle to raise a family on a small monthly disability check. A diagnosis of clinical depression and anxiety soon followed. Like others, life has been filled with ups and downs. I’ve done my best to keep my own problems in perspective because I know that there are people in worse position than me. Six years ago, I met my current husband. We invested our life savings in a business venture that was sure to provide a more stable life for our family. We lost that investment when a well-known and respected partner bailed out at the last minute, after potential unlawful business practices from his past were revealed publicly. That’s when a trickle effect started, by losing our home, cars, everything but our RV and some personal belongings. Facing homelessness, we left our home (Wisconsin) and moved to a warmer climate. My husband found employment and we began to rebuild our lives.
It was difficult for me because although I have a very supportive husband who has helped me get through the depths of my depression, my children and grandchildren have always been a source of happiness and have always been my most important support system.
My husband recently found himself on the unemployment line after five years in our new town. Life events like this tend to trigger deep bouts of depression. I’m struggling to keep this under control because I know that my husband needs my support now. But I’m feeling like I’m losing control. It’s difficult to get in to see the doctor in the state we are currently living, this along with the fact that they have changed my meds several times, is making me feel hopeless. The only other person I can turn to is God and to keep praying for the strength to get through this.
Knowing that I have struggled so much since our move, my husband said that it’s time to get me back to our children and grandchildren. This way I can once again see the doctor who made the original diagnosis and hopefully he can get my meds straightened out. My husband has two job offers back in Wisconsin, and we are ready to make the move home. The only thing holding us back at this point is the funds needed to move our belongings. I am asking for any help that you can offer to help me get back to my SUPPORT SYSTEM. Any money donated will be used for our moving expenses. (Which is from Nevada to Wisconsin.)
If you or someone you know has suffered from depression you know how debilitating it can be to function. Thank you in advance for any donation that will help to stop my depression from spiraling further out of control. Thank you and God bless you!
