Depression will not get the best of me

by Eileen in Pennsylvania

I lost my job in the late 1990s. I have been jobless since. I have been going to therapy for the last 10 years. I got to the point where my life was stagnant and I was tired of the same nonsense everyday. So I started going to school to become a medical billing coder clerk. It should be interesting to see if I can do it. I have to. I will not fail and let my depression and anxiety get to me. I need the certificate so I can get a good job.

My husband and I live on our two checks from disability, and it is just not enough. I have made up my mind that I can and I will do it. I have to go to school for another year. I am glad to express myself.

I am on all kinds of medicine for my depression and anxiety. I changed my strong medicine for depression to the night time so I take 600 mgs of that strong medicine, and I take anti-anxiety medication. I am in terrible pain from arthritis – from head to toe literally. Please pray for me. I'm a Hebrew-Christian and need your prayers.
