Not Sure What To Due Because Of My Mood Disorder Please Help?
I am wanting to go back to school to began advocate. Over the years I have learned a lot about our unjust system. Being a single mom who had to fight to get my housing back because I was discriminated against . I have grown to have a passion for it. The problem is I have a mood disorder and I'm worried that I go back to school and spend all this money and then have a hard time getting the job because I haven't worked in awhile. Or if I get the job will my mood disorder affect me? Just keep going… read more
Just do it worry about the rest later, you may find as you pursue your passion it will alleviate your dissorder. Dont let a good brain go to waste or let time pass you by xx
@A MyDepressionTeam Member. I admire your ambition to go to school and find a job to help people. My only “advise” would be to take it slow. School can be very stressful. @A MyDepressionTeam Member had good advise about finding a dr you can work closely with to monitor your mood and level of stress.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member! I know in my heart that you have got this! Trust in your angels to carry you through. It is scary going back to school. One thing will I share with you. My husband was 54 when he died of Melanoma. He was in school at that time. He was taking drafting classes with poor eyesight and having a blast. He had emotional problems too but was ever the student. He was 10.5 years older than me. When I met him he was 30 and I was 18. By his example, it is never too late to go back to school. My Robert was a shining example of this. I would enjoy taking classes in music or art, but I am not brazen like my husband. I see you as I saw him - ready and willing! I will keep you in my heart of prayers that you can pull this off. I am sure you would be a wonderful advocate. Peace!
Yes! I was crying everyday and didn't know why. Lamictal has been a miracle drug for me too! Thanks for the boost!
Yes lamictil and it helps greatly. I think some of it is my confidence in myself that I can do it. I love the classes that are going to be taught so that will help. I'm 44 and a friend said that its hard to find work at my age... another worry. It's to be a family advocate so I think my age won't be a huge factor. What do you think?
