Just want to say Hi

[cj]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression. I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder reoccurant. I have also been told that this depression may have been the result of post tramatic stress disorder. It began after a major self confidence blow to my relationship that I thought was undestructable at the time. Perhaps that was my mistake for having such high expectations, that I fell so far, so fast, so hard. Ever since this occurance, I have felt my emotions and wellbeing spiral out of control over the past 3 1/2 years. I currently take Wellbutrin, but am not currently receiving any cognitive treatment. My condition causes me to overreact to stress, and every day incidences. I find myself having anxiety attacks regarding my partner, and my inability to trust him. I have not found the strength to separate from this relationship, but rather have been trying to cope with all the emotional issues that I have acquired during this relationship. My depression and anxiety causes additional stresses to our relationship, as he does not understand my condition. Nor does he believe in counseling and such. Because of his negative view on the situation, I haven't really been totally forthcoming on the extent of my condition. In addition to the excessive crying, over sensitivity, and mood swings; I also suffer from migraines. I take preventative medicines that have helped with the migraines, and he is with the understanding that the Wellbutrin is for treatment of the headaches. I recently had a major breakdown, which was a bit violent in nature. I had a very angry outburst in which I began to scream, cry, and even throw things. It was during a very stressful week, in which we were very busy with activities and constantly on the go. Between work, children, financial issues, and non-stop hustling until late night - my inability to cope with even the smallest of arguments escalated into this breakdown. I need help!!!! And even moreso need someone to talk to that understands what I am going through. I live in a very small rural community and do not feel comfortable utilizing the counseling services in my area because of confidentiality issues. I know this was a bit long winded, but thanks for those that chose to read through it.
