Hi,
My name is Kelly and I'm 22 years old and I've been dealing with depression/anxiety for quite awhile now. I found out I had it when I was dealing with Panic Attacks. I see a psychiatrist for it but I don't really feel like he helps me. He doesn't listen to me really and just hands out a perscription and says see you next month. I don't have much of a choice of who I can see. This is the only person I can see that is covered under my insurance. I have public aid insurance because I have a 3 year old boy. I want to be the best I can be for this boy but I just feel like I'm stuck. I've done consoling before and they have helped me with my panic attacks but now I feel like I need help with this rut I'm in. I want to go to school but I'm not really sure what to go to school for. I've thought of many different things but I need something that I would like to do and can do it fast. I've gone to career consolers at the college I have attend a few classes at but they don't seem like they really help me much. Also I need classes that I can fit into my already busy schedule. I'm also working part time. But I take all the hours I can get at my work. (Working Birthday parties, teaching classes, doing hangtime programs at my work and more. And one thing I really want to do is be able to move out of my parents house. I've been living here for awhile now. And my son will be 4 in August. My parents aren't very supportive about me having a child. They will help out every now and then for that I'm grateful but I feel like I need some extra support. That kind of support that only a family can give and that I have never gotten. Me and my son share the same bedroom and because of that its very hard. I feel he's going to be sleeping with me till he's like 10 years old. He needs to get his own room and I need to get out on my own. I have just recently started dating a guy this past December and I feel like he's really the only person I've got right now. And if I ever lost him I don't even know what I would do. I don't have many friends. All my friends have gone away for college or are constantly with their boyfriends. If anyone one has any suggestions of what I can or should do I would be very grateful for any answers.
